Place to see: Children's Fairyland, Oakland, California, United States

About this place:

A fairy tale themed amusement park. Located in Oakland's Lake Merritt park off Grand Ave. You must have a child to enter (which encourages parents to use their children as currency) and is a fun day out. It has not changed dramatically in the 30 years that I have been around for, and I do not really expect it to change in the next 30. It is a bit rough around the edges but an Oakland institution and a real joy to walk around.
