Have you ever visited Children's Fairyland in Oakland?
Children's Fairyland opened in 1950, and was visited by Walt Disney during the time he was developing and building Disneyland (which opened five years later, in 1955). Everything in Children's Fairyland is candy-colored, 1950's retro, and there is so much to see and love. To view more photos and find information, you can go to the Children's Fairyland website here.
Here is a peculiar little carousel featuring characters from Alice in Wonderland.
Beware.
A clock-tower
The Jolly-Trolly
And if it all wasn't marvelous enough, there is a puppet show performed three times every day.
We were lucky to see a sweet version of the Wizard of Oz.
Off to Neverland!
Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning...
A certain small someone cried and cried when the park closed at 5:00 and it was time for us to head home. But I've promised him that we will go back soon.
