Brings back so many wonderful childhood memories of going to Fairyland. When my twin boys were young, we took them there too. I’m 54 years old and still have my Fairyland Magic Key.
i lived in Oakland for 10 years and my job was just on the other side of Fairyland and I would walk past it almost everyday. Watching this video brought me a lot of joy because I sadly had to move from Oakland due to the increased rent. I left my heart in Oakland and there it shall remain 🤟.
I love places like this. The Enchanted Forest in Oregon is similar. There are a couple rides you could ride there too, and a lot of weird kitschy scenes to walk through. There’s a haunted house that stays open the entire time the park is open. It’s cheesy, but fun because there’s no such thing as a truly bad haunted house. I hope to get back there again someday.
I'm in Oakland and I am so bummed that adults cannot enjoy the park without a child in attendance. Not fair !! Thank you for bringing back some wonderful childhood memories for me ! I so enjoyed this vlog ! ❤
I really love the idea of getting to use your own magical key to unlock elements of the park. That would have blown my mind as a kid! So great to see places like this still operating!
Yeah its awesome. Now you can go inside without a child. There is even a place where the adults just sit there and stare at the children. You might like it
I’ve lived in the Bay Area of California my whole life (I still do) and I have yet to ever go to Fairyland. Hopefully one day. I appreciate this video very much
This place looks so cute! By the way, Mrs Tiggywinkles is one of Beatrix Potter's characters and she's a hedgehog 🦔 Here in the UK we have a place called Tiggywinkles and it's a wildlife hospital which helps all British wildlife that are injured. They have a visitor's centre as well, and it's such a wonderful place that does incredible work to help our animal friends 😊❤️
I loved the carousel with different coloured horses and also the cute donkeys. The Alice in Wonderland displays were cool too. Thanks again Jacob and best wishes ☀️
The fish footman and frog were from the scene in the book of them delivering a message to the Duchess for her to play croquet with the Queen. The baby that is a pig was the Duchess’s baby , it turned into a pig. The Disney cartoon left out most of the actual book.
6:04 " Let's go Jacob, great Adventures await!" It's so cool to see an old throwback attraction (that even inspired Walt Disney) that is still operating so children of all ages can enjoy the timeless stories.
Thank you Jacob. This brought back memories of when I was a child exploring Children's Fairyland with my family. It was always a special day when we visited. I loved this place.
I worked near there for many years on 20th and Harrison. I often went over to Lake Merritt and walked past this park. Not having ever had kids, I havent tree. Inside it since I was little myself. Glad you are showing it.
I LOVE these old school Storyland/ Fairy Tale Theme Parks when I was a kid. I used to go to Storyland in Egg Harbor back years ago when I was a kid. Hope you have a great day Jake!
Lived in this area my entire life and have always wondered what it looked like on the inside! If you ever make your way out to Oregon, you should check out Enchanted Forest
Looks like a fantastic park for young kids to visit. I hope they normally have more park visitors so they can stay in business. I remember the magic keys to turn on the audio samples from when I was a kid.
Your fairy tale park videos are my favorite content from you! I see you were in Oregon five days ago. Are you planning to visit the Enchanted Forest in Salem?
I lived at 29th and broadway but up on the hill(I looked up the location to see if where I lived was still there, it is!) In the 90's. Never knew about this place. It's really cute :) My ex and. I worked at Peets coffee and tea, he was a driver and I worked at the shipping plant. I also worked at the Whole Foods in Berkeley. Loved it there. Thanks for visiting my old hood!❤👍🏾
15:17 I made up a nursery rhyme for this vehicle: Jolly Trolley, Plump and Lolly, riding down the tracks, with the engineer in front, and the conductor in back, with all its clicks and clacks.
Thank you for all the smiles, Jacob. I was so glad to see Oakland's Fairyland was still open. The last time I was there, I was still small enough to ride all the rides. The keys looked like elephants then with the key part the elephant's trunk. Or was that the magic key at the Oakland Zoo? I forget. I'm so glad you stopped there... And they let you film. Ever been to the Rosacrucian Egyptian Museum in San Jose? They have the biggest collection of Egyptian artifacts on the west coast and a fabulous art gallery too. Oh... And a reproduction of an Egyptian tomb..... Hopefully they will let you film there. When I lived in the Bay area, I practically lived in the museum too.... Lol. Thank you again for visiting the Oakland Fairyland.... It was so good to see again. ❤️
I love your dad on your wedding night said dont trust foxes ahahahahah i swear i will never forget that and if my son gets married im going to do the same 🤣🤣
Mr. Carpetbagger..... If the Oakland Exploratorium is still open, you might go there before leaving the Bay Area. I was going to suggest the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, but Jason Scarred says they don't allow filming there. You and Jen might enjoy a film free day of fun there ... As much as you both love horror movies, the Winchester Mystery House would be right up your alley. 😊
Jake, thanks so much for featuring Children's Fairyland! My folks used to take my brother and I here when we were kids. We have fond memories of this place. That dragon at the entrance used to have a long tongue made of leather, like a belt, and kids would pull the tongue to hear the dragon roar and welcome them to the park. Looks like they list the tongue and didn't replace it! I had wondered how you got in there without a kid! It's great that they let you in to film. If not for that restriction, my brother and I probably would have gone there to see it again as adults. Thanks again!
Greetings from Fairyland, Linda! You're absolutely right, Ching Lung the Happy Dragon did have a leather tongue. We had to remove it because of Covid, but we hope to be able to put it back soon. I also wanted to let you know that we have several "grown ups only" events throughout the year. The next one is in July and then several more in September. Here's the event info for July. I hope you and your brother can come visit soon! fairyland.org/events-and-performances/events-for-grownups/
Wow that is amazing. I love that Medivel, Fariy tale theme style. Especially in Theme Parks. And since Disney is all about Fairy Tales and Story in there films like snow white, sleeping beauty, beauty and the beast, ect it makes since
For the "no pun play after sunset", it looks like the "p" was overwriting a "g". Is that the case that it used to say "No gun play after sunset" and was altered?
That's funny.. the Reluctant dragon..i love that Movie.. well.. not the entire move.. just the part towards the end when the Reluctant Dragon story came on.. haha.
This looked like a fun place. It reminds me of a place in the Northeast we went to when I was a child. The pig is from the scene with the Duchess and the Cook. That fish is the Fish Footman. You got all the characters on the Wonder-go-Round right. Did you notice Mickey Mouse to the right of the funhouse mirror?
