Children's Fairyland

Children’s Fairyland is the country’s first storybook theme park, opening our doors in 1950. The park creates a magical world of wonder that delights visitors of all ages-especially children-boasting 40 whimsical, storybook-themed exhibits, eight acres of gardens, gentle animals, and educational programs centered on the transformative power of storytelling. In 1994, management of Children’s Fairyland transitioned from a public park to a nonprofit dedicated to Oakland children. Approximately 150,000 visitors explore the park each year.
