Right across the street from the Sacramento Zoo is a charming little place called Fairytale Town. It is a children’s play park, more than just a playground. It spreads over two and a half acres and is full of themed buildings, animals, and play areas. The Crooked Mile sends you winding through the forest, three little pigs live in houses of straw, sticks, and brick, and Farmer Brown’s Barn has farm animals on the ground floor and a twisting slide on the second. It’s not really someplace for adults to go by themselves, but we never take the kids to the zoo without also spending an hour or two at Fairytale Town.
