Description:
Funderland Park is a small-scale amusement park that offers a roller coaster, a steam train, and other kiddie rides. This park is ideal for toddlers aged 2 (and maybe younger) to older kids aged 12.
The parks sits on 2 acres of land and has been giving thrills to kids for more than 50 years. Originally, the park began as Land Park Kiddie Land in the 1940s. A new owner bought the park in 1984 and renovated it into the new Funderland Park.
The oldest ride in the park is The Carousel, which opened in 1947. Oscar the Fish opened thereafter.
It is a short walking distance to Fairytale Town and the Sacramento Zoo.
