Park is a bit dated but our kids looked right passed that and enjoyed the rides. It was very slow the day we went so no lines for rides. The dragon ride has some fast turns so prepare your kids for a mini adrenaline rush. We rode with our kids and they loved it, had to go twice!

We look for new places all the time like this to take small our small humans. I like that most rides allow for a few adults so you can get all those fun pics together on the rides. The premises were clean and nothing in need of repair or refurbish. The restrooms were very clean as well and located right at the entrance on the left before you cross the train tracks.

The Park is small and has a few rides for children that are young like my 4 year old son and 3 year old girl loved it. Simple and has a nice little pond with ducks and geese.

Unfortunately although they claimed that the state comes out and makes measurements for height requirements. Theyre not very accurate! I brought my tape measure and measure myself cuz they claimed my granddaughter wasnt 36-in which she definitely was so she couldnt ride a couple of rides. Very disappointing for her. They say that the measuring board at the entrance out of the park is an artist rendering so they cant use it. Why have it there if its not accurate? And the one at the roller coaster is definitely slightly off. And if an adult can get on rides with the kids if theyre not quite tall enough, if they arent tall enough for the roller coaster why cant that happen to? Small World Park in Pittsburg will get my money next time!!!!

Employee/ ride operator (Sam) greeted my child and I in a very welcoming manner. He was attentive and patient even though my son was being a bit of a challenge. The park itself had a pleasant atmosphere for the most part. Parking was easy.

Fun rides for the little ones and a great day out for the family. Some rides have minimum height restrictions.

This place is great for smaller kids. It has a few rides but my kids are always exited to go. The thing I like most about the park is that they offer free parking & you can bring in food. The food here isn’t so great but it isn’t the worst. The staff is friendly & offer to take pictures on every ride.

Small but fun, you just have to be ready to pay for tickets so you can ride the rides but its free to get in. You can bring your own food but they also have food for sale. Its just a little pricey.

Trip here was perfect. Great rides for our two year old. He could ride every ride, and was even tall enough to ride the planes by himself. Has a childrens drop zone, roller coaster, carousel, car ride, place ride, and train. Also has some games/coin op rides. The duck pond outside the amusement area was nice, and it was great that they sell food to feed the ducks with.The staff was very understanding and accommodating about our sons food allergies, and we definitely appreciated it. Made for a much more relaxing and fun day.

Such a cute, fun place! We are from Bakersfield but stopped by here while we were in town and had such a fun time. We got here right when they opened and it wasnt crowded at all. The rides were enjoyable and the staff was so nice. Everyone who works here was so friendly and welcoming, but I have to say one of your staff members went above and beyond. There was a young man (Im not sure of his name) with glasses and dark brown hair who was fantastic. He interacted with all the kids, was super cheerful, and took the time to stop and offer to take pictures for guests making it an even more memorable experience. He seems like someone who genuinely loves his job! Thanks for the fun time Pixieland we will most definitely be back next time we are in town!

It doesnt get much better for a toddler. The staff are fantastic with both children and adults--so helpful and easy to deal with. The park is small, but very well maintained and it is just perfect for toddlers. If there were more stars available, Pixieland would get them.

Pretty great for toddlers. Free parking, free admission. Rides are usually 1 ticket and seem deceptively cheap, but the ticket cost is about $2.

Some things need a little TLC, but this place is super cute and the staff works really hard to make sure everyone has a fun time. My kids loved every minute. Come for the rain, stay for the planes.

Though the amusement park is small in size it is big in fun. Totally there are seven rides but you will have a lot of fun in them. The staff are very friendly and are very mindful about wait times. This means that you will be able to ride alone even if there are not many people to fill. This is great. The train rides are timed so that we can plan for other rides. The environment around is natural , scenic and you can have a picnic in the nearby park as well. Parking and admission are free. You can buy tickets that never expire. They have multiple ticket pack denominations. Go there and have fun.

Omg, We used to take Our Son Matthew to Pixie Playland back in 1983 when he was 3. Pixie Playland at that time had a Merry-go-Round a Train that went around the park (went by a little pond with Ducks), a little Car , Airplane ️ and Boat rides I believe! I remember the Hot Dogs were Great️ We also took our Daughter Kristen who was born in 1986.We moved from Roskelley Dr, Concord which was just a few miles from Pixie Playland, to Redding, CA and now live in Washington State.My Husband and I just moved and when I locate the photos we took I will post them! We had a Fire but I believe I still have the photos and ALSO a Green Pixie Playland Coupon Book️️️️️️️️️️️Thanks You for keeping Pixie Playland going all these years for Children to enjoy along with all the “New” and “Wonderful” Rides️️️️We plan to make a trip and go visit the Wonderful Pixie Playland ( and have a Hot Dog )️️️️️️

First time there & its a cute little place. You can get on all the rides & be done in an hour lol. Amanda at the food place could need more training on her customer service skills though. She wasnt a very pleasant person.

Took my 9year old stepdaughter to this park for a quick little visit and she had a great time! The staff was very minimal ,but it was a Friday early afternoon so Im not sure how theyre staffed normally. Nevertheless it seemed like a slow day and there werent many others around besides a couple other families. We didnt have to wait long for the attendants to help us start the rides. There was free admission which is good,I dont think we would have gone if there was a fee, its a VERY modest amusement park. Id say its best for kids under 10 but some of the rides do allow adults. We enjoyed ourselves and our daughter cant wait too come back!

Brought my friends kid here at around 10:30 on Sunday and figured we would spend about an hour here and we did. She was too afraid to ride anything but loved watching things move and had one go at the merry go round (1 ticket per rider, so I spent two tickets, at your highest cost, would be about $4.50). The place was very short staffed, but the staff overall were very real about the situation and friendly despite the obvious stress. I wouldnt call this place cheap, but its affordable for toddlers and young children for the area, and works well to get some energy out. Id bring the munchkin back here, even if its to run around and watch the rides, because this place is festive, enclosed, and admittedly pretty fun just to hang out. The kid brought some toys and was delighted to play with them on the static quarter machine movers ($1 per ride) and had fun running around looking at everything. This is a perfect place to introduce kids to amusement parks. Its small and very manageable, for the amount of hours of operation and the location, I completely understand their pricing. If it seems pricey, its because its fair to the area. The fact that I didnt have to buy the 10 ticket pack ($19) didnt take away from the visit, and I know my friend will still use the tickets eventually, and I wanted to make sure if his kid wanted to ride anything that we would have the means to do so. Its a unique place to bring little ones and honestly I would picnic here with toddlers if only to have a neat change of scenery. Kudos to the staffers for keeping their heads cool in their rough situation and running as many attractions as safely and efficiently as possible! Its their job to keep kids safe and they did a well for how many visitors they had.

This is a great place to bring grandchildren ages 1-8 years old. It is really small. You can cover everything in an hour and half, which is the time span of a toddler. There is no entrance fee but the ride tickets are pricey. Some riders require 2 tickets AND that a adult go with the child, depending on their size, do it can add up. But well worth it for a one time visit!

Review №35

Not sure if we got lucky on an empty day or if it is always so quiet, but it was great. No lines, so kids could run from ride to ride. The whole place is pretty compact, so they could run from one end of the place to the other end and still be in sight. The size has pros and cons - its easy to manage, but only has a half dozen rides. If you know the other local parks, it has rides much like Train Town, but fewer and closer together, but has an atmosphere more like Fairy Land, but again more compact and more rides, and none of the free play areas Fairy Land has. The lack of patrons when I went may have been a holiday thing, but may have been price. Easily blew $100 on 4 kids in a couple hours. They had a blast though.

Great for kids between 2-5 years old. Free parking and no entrance fees. Food is reasonably priced and typical for an amusement park. Tickets prices are as expected. Good variety of rides for the kids to enjoy. A good way to pass an hour or two on a spring or early summer day.

Review №38

I wasnt really sure what to expect from this place, but I should have read some reviews. The entire park has around 5 small rides. Each ride cost a certain amount of tickets that you purchase from the ticket booth. I took my 2 year old here and we rode on the car track a few times and on the marry-go-round. The entire trip there only lasted around 45 mins. There just isnt enough to do here. Staff was nice.

First time there, great for kids under the age of 5-7. My daughter is 3 and the rides were great for her. Getting on the rides was quick and easy. Very friendly staff, price was very affordable, most rides are one ticket, but 30 tickets for $50 was great, we were there for a couple hours, rode the whole time and there was 4 of us. Overall great experience!!

Review №46

Awesome fun little park with free admission and free parking. Nice cheap amusement park for little guys without having to go to Discovery Kingdom or even Disneyland. Little ones (1+/-) can ride 4 of the rides (carousel, train ride, tea cups, motor cars). Ticket price is currently $2.35 a piece, but you can save a few bucks buying a value pack (we bought a pack that got tickets down to $1.80 each.) Plus they dont expire, so you can save whatever you dont use for next time. Food is available at concessions stand near front gate. Park is clean, well-cared for with friendly staff. Great place to take little ones without breaking the bank and having to drive super far.

Great little place to take young children. My 3 year old loves coming here and can ride all of the rides. Quite outdated and a little expensive but over all a fun time for little ones.

Review №48

Great Place to take young kids on a good weather day! I love that even though its in the heart of Concord, there really isnt a crowd.The lack of crowd is due to the fact that there are very few rides and it is really only for 10 year olds and under. The rides look a little worn and could use a fresh coat of paint.If you fall under the young family demgraphic, this place is for you!!!

I love Concord Library because it has a very cool play area that my three-year-old can associate with other children and they upgraded bathroom. Its kind of a homeless hangout spot but oh well they have a killer part next door to it and we enjoy it very much going there just kind of far from El Sobrante but not impossible

We hosted a birthday party for our 3 children. 7, 6 and 1 birthday, ALLLLLLLL the children in our party enjoyed themselves. The crowd control is amazing! The staff were exceptionally helpful and fabulous hosts! Every part of our experience was more than I thought when making our reservation. Our children and their guests rode every ride more than 3 times and they just kept going! Thank you Pixieland for being awesome with your hospitality! WINDY GROVE is the best area to host a party!

Great place for preschoolers! You do not pay to get in, you pay for tickets. I think it was $34 for 30 tickets. The train ride is 2 tickets per rider. The other rides were 1 ticket for each rider. Rides are really short, but we didnt wait in line for anything. Its a nice introduction to amusement park rides without a whole day commitment.

Pixieland is a Concord tradition. Its easy to get to, little kids love it, and its a great place for a special event for your kid.if you join their Facebook page, youre able to get some better deals on tickets, as if you have multiple kids going and can start to get a little pricey.

Really overpriced and the rides were really short. But the kids had a lot of fun and overall worth it. I think the train was the best deal and check out the ducks and geese at the pond next door.

Review №79

Came here on an end of the school preschool fieldtrip with my sons class. I want to say how amazing this place is, but it’s really not. Even as a mom of young boys, it’s just not great and definitely not worth the money. I’d MUCH rather drive to the zoo, Gilroy Gardens or Santa Cruz beach Boardwalk for rides with the kids.The rides here are soooooo small! And short ride times. We did every ride in 45 and that’s with line wait times and stopping to talk with friends.Something key to know is an adult can only ride on a few rides and most rides need another kid as a buddy or an adult. However roller coaster only can take 3 adults and then they won’t even fill up the coaster, so long wait times. Same with other rides. Only so many adults allowed per ride. This place is for small children. To me that just doesn’t make sense. How can this be targeted for small children, yet if my husband and I want to ride the ride with our young boys we will have to wait for the next ride to do that.

Review №92

I was pretty pissed that my family planned our day around going to this place that claimed to be open. Then once we all arrive there is no one there! Two cars full of kids , plus another family in the parking lot and tons of sad little faces. The gate was half open. No sign saying closed so we all thought maybe we just have to tell someone we are here. My son and I step in to look around and see if I can find someone. We hear this loud voice demanding we leave like the great Oz... We walk to the exit and this Carnival nasty looking guy is all upset. Dont leave your gate open one... Two post a damn closed sign. Three maybe think to update the website if youre going to close early because of a lack of business..... The place looked duck tape together and unsafe. Id never been here before and was excited to share it with my 2 year old, but not anymore. We had plenty of fun feeding the ducks at the pond. Were going to Tilden Parks for our train experience.

The young kids like it. Two tickets for the train and roller coaster per ride, one ticket for all other ticketed rides. About $2 per ticket, cheaper if multiple tickets bought together. Credit cards accepted with a $10 minimum, ID checked. Parking can fill up on weekends, but is free. No entrance fee; pay per ride. Staff mostly younger, and mostly helpful.
