We recently visited Fairyland with my 18 month son.
My 18 month year old son is very mobile, with a short attention span.
Fairy town has a lot to explore for all preschool ages, even though it is in a small area in Lake Merritt.
There are houses kids can enter and tunnels to walk through. My son especially liked the musical instruments that are at his height.
If you get a magic key ($2), there are kiosks that can be accessed to tell a story. The kiosks are a little outdated and stories a little too long, but every kid likes to carry a special key around.
Other big hits for my toddler were the train (only holds 4 families, so go early) and the animals (small enclosures with farm animals). There are some rides for taller kids. There are also live performances and a puppet show. I was surprised that the puppet show kept his attention, although it could have been all the other kids watching as well.
Overall, he remained entertained for several hours. We then got a chance to walk around Lake Merritt and look at the birds. There is also a free playground not far from Fairyland, in case the little ones still have energy.
There is food in the park, as well as a lot of restaurants along the street on Saturdays, there is the Oalland Farmers Market at the east end, which has food and live music.
Fairyland is $8 for everyone over 1.
