12 reviews for Pixieland Amusement Park
Went here this past weekend with my sister and my niece. We took her to a birthday party.
Cute little place for kids to have a good time. There's about 7 rides including a train they can get on.
Since it was a birthday party we didn't have to pay for any tickets for the rides.
They have great snowcones. I had a cherry. It was super sweet but it was cool.
My niece had a great time.
Oh...by the way...the parking lot is a little small so you may have to go round and round to find a spot and being that it's in Concord, be prepared for the HEAT!!!
We had some coupons from our Entertainment Book, so we thought we'd give it a try with our 2 year old son. Went on a Sunday morning just after it opened (10AM). What a disappointment. There are about 7 rides, and sadly, there were only 3 people running the rides. Yes, you read that right! Forget the idea that if you're there before the crowds, you miss the lines! You have to stand there waiting for someone to finish another ride in order for that attendant to run over and help you onto the ride of your choice. We were totally shocked by the lack of employees. Once 11 o'clock rolled around, then it seemed like a couple more employees showed up, but there was still an issue with waiting. The place was totally dead.....we wondered how on earth they stay in business. My guess is that mid-November is not the most popular time of year to go.
The other thing that I didn't like was that the train had a sign that said it only runs every 15 minutes. Try telling that to a kid who is fascinated by trains.
Only reason I'm giving it 2 stars instead of one is because with our coupons, it was a decent price overall. I don't envision myself coming back here, though, given that it was a 25-30 minute drive from our house.
I took my kids there last weekend and we had a great time. The park is clean and very well managed which is very hard to find these days. I have a 2 and 6 year old and they both loved it. My 6yr old loved the Dragon roller coaster. He wanted to go on it over and over again. It was so cute how my 2yr old got so excited over everything. There are 7 rides and at first there were 3 to 4 people operating rides then a few more employees came which does make sense given the tough economic times, but what's a five minute wait compared to going to Disneyland and waiting an hour to two to get on to a ride. The employees were very friendly and helpful. It's a great place to have a picnic close to home and well taken care of. I am definitely going to be having my sons next birthday party there.
Oh... and there corn dogs are great!
Pixieland strikes me as a smaller and better maintained version of the Oakland Children's Fairyland, and without the nearby Canada geese guano. Gayle and I took her granddaughter here yesterday. And with my son's kind help, the darling little girl was nicely entertained on various rides.
Park staff were also very accommodating and kind. There's also a nice shaded birthday party area and a duck pond just outside the fenced area. This is an excellent and fun venue for the under 5 crowd.
Not a bad find. A little small & cramped, I couldn't imagine this place had it booked one too many birthday parties. It was definitely fun for my 3 year old, he had a great time & loved the cars and the dragon roller coaster. Wish they had more rides, but then again - it's nice that there is a place like this nearby (and you don't have to go all the way down to Disneyland or Santa Cruz to enjoy something like this). There are about 7 rides total, and only about 3 of them require the child to be a certain height for them to ride by themselves. Each ticket is about $1.50 & only 2 of the rides require 2 tickets/person (the train & the roller coaster). I bought 2 booklets of 10 tickets & thought that would be more than enough. My son sped through all the tickets in about an hour & a half. So 3 hours is more than enough time to do this small amusement park twice over.
Overall great place, great value, love the location, but wish it were a tad larger with a couple more rides.
Oh yes, there is also a duck pond out back where you can feed the ducks. Fantastic! :)
If you have a 4-year old, this place belongs on your list of things to do. It is a small and sweet amusement park with kid's rides along with picnic tables and a pond filled with geese and ducks.
Today was my daughter's friend Collin's birthday, so 14 of his friends and parents braved the tunnel to go somewhere new to celebrate. The kids had a blast! For his birthday party, Collin's parents paid for two hours of unlimited rides. The kids went on everything at least twice, I think the Dragon ride was the biggest hit with all of them.
I went on the dragon ride too ... woohoo!
I do not think that older kids will like it very much, but the young ones couldn't get enough. Now it is nap time for both of us!
Attended a 1 year old's birthday party here and it was such fun. Nice, open park layout and a decent-sized lake with a walking trail around the perimeter. There's also a carnival-like area with plenty to do - it had an 'old town carnival' feel, complete with a train ride around the park. They have a carousel and a cool Antique Car ride. They also have a mini roller coaster ride for adventurous young ones.
A nice local getaway for kids in the Bay Area. They also have a full service snack bar. Prices are reasonable for the rides and food.
Though we had great fun with our family and friends, after about 2-3 hours, my nieces and I were ready to go.
It is so nice there is something like this near where my parents live. It's great to stop by after a morning of running erands with my 2 year old and give him the opportunity to have a little fun. The people at the park are very nice and everything is clean and well kept. I wish there was something like this near where I live.
My daughter loves this place. The park is perfect for toddlers to about 7 year olds. Any older and the park becomes too small. I like that the park has no entrance fee instead it runs like a classic carnival where you buy tickets to ride the rides.
I took my oldest daughter here when she was younger and she loved it! They have a parking lot but it can get full quick. Rides are for the younger kiddies (I think the dragon ride is the best). You don't pay to get in but you do need to purchase tickets to ride the rides. You can buy food there. 1-3 hours will be more than enough time to ride the rides & play the games.
My daughter loves this place.
Mainly for kids ages 2-7. I like that its small and you could spend a good hour here and your kids are happy within a short time.
Does have a lake but I did not see a full path to walk around it safely.
You can tell its been around for a while but I have seen them make improvements over this past winter since I drive by it almost daily.
my kids love this place dont have to travel far and spent so much money for the entrance. just buy a ticket for the rides the entrance is free and there is a lake where your kids can have fun feeding the ducks.
