Children's Fairyland is a 10-acre storybook park located on the shores of Oakland's Lake Merritt, celebrating 75 years of community memory building. Recognized as one of the earliest themed amusement parks in the U.S., it features innovative attractions like a storybook box that tells tales when a key is turned. The park is also home to the oldest puppet theater in America, promoting puppetry as an art form. Fairyland offers nighttime adult events, aiming to combine nostalgia and fun. It is easily accessible by public transportation and promotes memory-making experiences for visitors.
Oakland celebrates us and we celebrate Oakland. From the very beginning, Children's Fairyland has been innovative. We have this beautiful key. You put it into a storybook box and turn it, and it tells this childhood story.
This is where the magic happens. When I mention Fairyland to locals and even tourists, they have memories of coming here with their grandparents and their parents. So it's part of the DNA of Oakland.
We're the oldest running puppet theater in America. I feel like Children's Fairyland is holding it down for puppetry across the world. We're kind of the home of American puppetry.
You can come here at night, reignite your childhood and play like an adult, 21 plus, here at Fairyland, with music, arts, a full bar, and a lot of fun.
