It is this little park over in Land Park that is centered around fairy tales. They have things to climb on, play with, and animals to see. If you go at the right times they have puppet shows and other live action performances.
A friend and I took our kids (1.5 and 2.5) to it on the Friday when Jon's work had their picnic next door in the park. Nicholas can only handle so much standing around and watching things, so Fairy Tale Town was a good choice since he could run around and it was next door. Also, I had a 1/2 off admission coupon so the kids were free (under 3) and we split the cost of a tickets ($2 a piece since it was a weekday).
Nicholas loved it. He got to run around things and climb on things and be told fairy tales. The park was just the right size that he walked the whole thing.
The funniest thing was watching him try and drink from this hippo water fountain. He was so impressed that it was a hippo, he wouldn't leave until he got a drink. But the thing is the fountain wasn't all that strong, and he wasn't tall enough. He finally gave in and asked for help.
Nicholas and Joey had fun climbing all over stuff and really enjoyed the horse and carriage, the cheese, and the train. They love that stuff. At least it was a great time watching them have fun. And there were benches everywhere so I could sit and talk with my friend while they were playing.
He was totally worn out (so was I) at the end of 2 hours there. It was just the perfect size and the perfect time to be there. It was afternoon, around nap time for everyone else. Hardly anyone was in the park, it was great. And he fell asleep before we hit the freeway - he was that tired. I fell asleep too. It was a great afternoon!
