At Fairytale Town, kids are joyful and their imaginative thinking flourishes. More than 250,000 children and their families, of all backgrounds, enjoy this beloved Sacramento landmark. Kids laugh and learn as they enjoy the 26 playsets dotted across this beautiful park of 3.5 acres. Free outdoor play is crucial for healthy child development. 

As a nonprofit organization dedicated to healthy, curious young learners, Fairytale Town is affordable for the community with admission just $7 weekdays ($8 weekends). Kids can play at the park over 300 days a year.  

In addition to regular park visits, kids enjoy summer camps, educational experiences with our family of barnyard animals, puppet shows, campouts, performances by the Fairytale Town Troupers youth drama crew, themed events -- and under the thatched roof of the new Story Center children are encouraged to think up their own original ideas and draw, write or act them out on the stage. The cottage also features a reading corner fostering early literacy.

Mission

Fairytale Town's mission is to promote the imagination, creativity, and education of children. Our vision is a world where all children flourish, in growth and in happiness, realizing their full potential through the profound benefits of free play.

Needs

Construction has started, and you can help complete it!

Fairytale Town is continuing to pursue its expansion, which includes adding a Welcome Center to our entrance and culturally diverse playsets to the park.

Funding is needed to close the gap so we are turning to our community for support.

The Welcome Center will:

• Boost accessibility for everyone by streamlining the park entrance.

• Add new public restrooms with changing tables near the front of the park to accommodate the increasing number of guests;

• Provide space for staff necessary to run existing and new programming within the park;

• Feature an iconic clock tower adding new magic to Fairytale Town

• and more!

Please make your gift!

Your generosity will help ensure that Fairytale Town has the facilities to serve more guests and continue to provide programming for the next generation.

Kids of all backgrounds will delight in new playsets reflecting the diversity of our region.
