Adjacent to Lake Merritt's Lakeside Park, Children's Fairyland has been entertaining young children since 1950 with a variety of attractions on the theme of classic fairy tales. This whimsical amusement park is known to have inspired Walt Disney. Fairyland is famous for its Storybook Puppet Theater, the oldest continuously operating puppet theater in the United States. The theater brings puppet dramas to life with charming costumes, colorful sets, and music. The puppets also expose kids to a variety of cultures, utilizing not only classic European hand puppets and marionettes but also Japanese bunraku and Balinese shadow puppets. There are also an assortment of kiddie rides, a favorite being the Jolly Trolly, a 1954 mini railroad that rides through the park and through a tunnel. Other popular rides include the 1956 Wonder-Go-Round; an Alice in Wonderland-themed carousel; and a mini Ferris wheel called Anansi's Magic Web, named for an African children's tale. The park features play areas designed as kid-sized storybook sets, where fairy tales come to life and inspire the imagination. Favorite storybook sets include the Alice in Wonderland Tunnel, Peter Rabbit's Garden, and a Jolly Roger Pirate Ship based on the story of Peter Pan. Address: 699 Bellevue Avenue, Oakland, California

This is great for kids! An old amusement park, all hand painted with an old merry go round, animals, puppet show and animals. No loud music and just one little food stand. There is a little train you can ride inside. Very quaint and typical of Oakland. Must have children to go.
