My daughter enjoyed the kiddie park. Masks are recommended not required. 12 bucks buys you as many rides as your kiddos like. Not many rides but cute and worth the 12$ for sure. Stopped here before Zoo Boo trick or treating and my daughter didnt want to leave to the zoo.

I been coming to this place as a kid and now my kids enjoy it. Today was my first time coming to the new location by the zoo. Its clean and nice for the little ones. $12 not bad for all day band. $1 a parent that comes in. Will definitely be bringing my little one back.

It is cute and nostalgic for sure, the young ones will have fun, but I would like to see more refurbishing of the equipment. It is cool to share some history of how things were back in the day (as my oldest calls it)

Enjoyed our time here. The old classic rides are famtistic. All young kiddos from 2 - 6 seem to enjoy the rides. If you have bigger kids, a few of the cars on the rides might be too small. Some of the ride staff could be a bit more interactive and kid friendly. The plenty of picnic tables with umbrellas are nice. Bring your own food is a great option. The gentleman at the concession was very kind and enjoyable to Interact with. Overall, I recommend a stop here. Well be back.

Great place for the little ones. Not crowded, hand sanitizer stands everywhere and the attendants sanitized the rides after every passenger. We will definitely be back!

Had a great family day. My wife made a great decision to come here. My son loved the rides. He is small but really had a great time. And all rides are safe and have straps that either parents or staff secure. Simple old timey fun. Nothing super fancy(and not needed) but nostalgic feel is a plus for me.

Wow, memories of when I was kid! They still have the $12. Unlimited band ride. They only down fall was they charge a $1. To enter the park per person. Why?! I know its only a dollar but why?! They young lady that worked said it was the zoos new rule of charge. So just letting yall know for the future. Also, they dont have tickets no more just bands.

Great place to take kids for kiddy rides..Nearby is zoo and dinosaur museum

Review №12

Todays Grand Opening at the San Antonio Zoo was far from grand. It was almost sad seeing how Kiddie Park is nothing but a ghost of its former self. The attempt to recreate the nostalgia was a fail as it seems that almost all of the amusement park was shoved into a corner parking lot of the new location. It would have been nice to see all of the rides in working condition, up & running on the first day of operation. Some rides were inoperable, others were hand operated by staff. I expected more than this.

Re
Review №13

My kids had a great time, but the ride operators had an obvious morale problem. They also seemed to expect too much from younger kids (ie: being able to buckle themselves in). Some operators would help buckle and then one just sat there while a kid almost fell getting into the boat ride, not providing any assistance. It’s unclear and inconsistent from ride to ride what parents are supposed to do to help with getting kids into and out of rides. A couple were actually rude to kids. We never went to the old location, it sounds like it was probably better in a lot of ways.

I recommend it. My daughter loved it and so did me & my wife; pricing was fine. I would also recommend some nice cleaning in some areas (like boats runway), also PLEASE put the signs of weapons where everyone sees them, at exact entrance (we need to see it, not run looking for it).

Review №24

Love love love this place! We took our 2 year old here this past summer and Wow!! Its so fun! I was amazed that there were so many fun rides for the little ones. I believe its 12 years old and younger that can ride the rides- but heck, I was able to accompany my daughter on anything... That was nice! The carousel was just amazing- and old! Tip top shape! The food was cheap and good! No overpriced stuff here,folks! All the funfare is here and the employees are super super friendly! All smiles !! We will go back no doubt!! Check it out!

Pint-sized entertainment for pint-sized people at a pint-sized price!!! Weve been coming here since my daughter was 2 and we can continue until shes 12. At 8, she still loves it! Theres a 100 yr old carousel they are refurbishing horse by horse so it always stays in service. A wonderful family business worthy of your dollar!

This place is awesome for littles. We frequently go places my 3 year old is too small to ride the rides and he get super sad. Today we went to the kiddie park and he loved every minute of it. Kids his age all around. Nice staff. Not expensive. Love it here.

The kiddos loved the kiddie park. The staff is very friendly. Parking is a bit difficult but you look past that once you see the kids having a blast. I suggest getting the pass for unlimited rides. They sale snacks and drinks, there’s rides, and very small arcade.

Review №32

This place is awesome! $13 for unlimited rides per child I think yes. My 5 year old had a blast! I thought he was gonna lose interest but no he was entertained for about 2 hours(even though he went on every ride 2 to 3 times haha) he couldn’t get enough! It’s a perfect mini person theme park! Will go again and soon!

The new location is great. We came on Sunday morning and parking was easy at the lot by the zoo train station. Much better than the old location.

Review №37

I used to love taking my daughter to the kiddie park!! But the new location (which I was originally excited about) is a bit of a let down. No shade which is a big deal during Texas summer and WHY OH WHY has no one yet mentioned the food situation?!? They used to have an epic food menu at the old location. Mini funnel cakes, chicken tenders, wings, sno cones, frito pie, turkey legs...literally had 85 things on the menu. It was wonderful and so fun (and so affordable!) The new location has hot dogs, stadium style nachos (gag me), pickles, and dip n dots. That’s it. It’s so unfortunate. It doesn’t have quite the charm or feel and the food absolutely was a heart wrenching loss (for me at least!).It’s still a fun place to try for those under 6, but honestly it used to be a great stand alone place now I feel it’s maybe something you do on your way in or out of the zoo...and certainly not a place you want to stay for lunch.

This park was wstablis in 1925 and with original rids such as the push start magnetic bus it is a piece of time stood still. $12 gets your little one an arm band for unlimited rides. Theres also an arcade.

Review №39

Small and compact space with only rides that small children can ride! Inexpensive but great value for money. There is a single ride restriction - a ride with cars that jerk around a bend in the track has a minimum height limit, but otherwise even 1-year-olds can ride everything!Parents can come along for the 100-year-old wooden carousel and the flying saucers, otherwise the rides fit kids alone.My 2.5-year-old had a blast - enough variety but not too overwhelming, small enough to be able to run around the whole place without too tight supervision (=freedom!), and the rides were exciting but not scary.Older kids may find some of these rides boring or slow, YMMV. But for toddlers, its an affordable grand adventure!

Great San Antonio icon. This park has been a staple in San Antonio for generations and will continue for the foreseeable future. If you have children that are pre-K, you must visit!

La
Review №44

The 3.5 hour drive was definitely worth it! Fairs always have a height restriction and my 2 yr old isnt able to ride. As long as ur kid can sit up on their own, up to 4-5 yrs old, this is a great place to go! And $13 unlimited ride is not bad at all!!

Kiddie Park is a hometown gem. Its basically a tiny carnival for small children, as other people have observed the rides only go round and round but they are charming. Plus they serve cheesy hot Cheetos for $2.

Review №50

Great place for casual fun with little ones.We went for 2 hours of fun with a 3 yr old. Unlimited rides for $13. Rides are historic; think 1940s traveling fair. Nothing to get too worked up about, but still fun for 2-6 yr olds who arent adrenaline junkies. We went on a weekday just before the school year ended and the place was almost empty. Staff was great about running rides on demand. Rides were well worn but well loved. Its 2 blocks from the Doseum (Childrens Museum) and next to the park, so lots of other things to do. Id recommend for just a couple of hours for young kids. The place feels very old-fashioned and heavily worn without feeling worn out or in disrepair.

My daughter dragged her uncle on lol.

Its great for 4 & under if you can avoid meltdown over the twirly lollipops and the vending machines. Some of the coin operated rides need maintenance but its a sweet place that has entertained generations.

Review №57

Took my granddaughter today, shes a tall 2 year old , and she rode everything there and had a blast. The employees are careful that every child is buckled in and safe. The rides have been in use a long time but still work just fine. I came to this park when I was a child, took my children when I had them and am now taking my grandchildren. Always fun.

Review №62

I think its great for what it is. I think its got a very old-school vibe and And a VERY reasonable price. I highly recommend anyone with Childeren under 10 to go to least once. That said, the good price means LOTS of people can be there. From all walks of life... So, go early on weekdays so you can have as personal of an experience and not worry about the crowds and if you are going to have your kids pushed by some other kid whos parents cant be found.

This is such a great little kids entertainment park! Were in San Antonio for the holidays and just so glad we were able to take our kid and her cousins out for an honest fun time. Its so rare that you can find such an original and not yet over commercialized park. An overall wonderful mom-and-pop kiddie park experience!

This was our first time here with our 2 year old and she loved it. Your best option is to get the $13 wristband for unlimited rides. It was worth it since she rode every ride back to back.

Visited San Antonio to go to sea world with 6 kids ranging from ages 1 to 10 years old. After it not being too many rides for the little ones at Sea World we visited this place and the little ones had a ball! The prices for the rides was great we did unlimited ride pass and got a great deal off groupon for it. The rides are very appropriate for little ones.

My ex had a party set up for my daughter for Saturday, but due to a storm it got pushed to Sunday. When we get there she was not on the list when they said my daughters party would be set to, they did accomadate but we had to rush the party because they cut the original time in half due to being unprepared. The rides were great and the atmosphere was cheerful, hence the 3 stars.

When you think of an old-style amusement park, Kiddie Park is the place! Many fun rides for the little ones, and parents can join them on bigger rides as well. Also a lot of great carnival-style snacks, plus an indoor arcade. Fun place for family fun!

Best day! The staff were super helpful and amazing. The park itself is pretty retro but that’s what I liked. It was as if you went back in time. All the rides worked and they were well maintained. To my 2.5 year old was beaming with joy. Did every ride twice and loved every min of it. They also charge a very fair admission rate. Highly recommend
