    If your kids are into dinosaurs, *Dinos Alive* is definitely worth checking out! The exhibit is engaging and interactive, with a fun scavenger hunt to keep things interesting as you explore. We spent about 1 to 1.5 hours here, which felt like the perfect amount of time to see everything without rushing. The setup is great for families, with clean bathrooms and a few benches to sit on if needed. At the end of the exhibit, there are some fun activities for kids, like coloring, sandboxes with fossil digging, and a few mini "rides." There's also a small gift shop for souvenirs. Parking is reasonable -- $10 for the lot, or you can park across the street for just $5. Overall, a fun, low-key outing that's perfect for a family day out. Highly recommend for any dino lovers!

    For an admission price of $26 per adult I would have expected a little bit more of an exhibit. It states on the website that it takes anywhere from 30-75 minutes to completely walk the exhibit. My family of about 16 people literally went through the Dino exhibit in maybe 15 minutes. We spent more time in the coloring center and gift shop, at the end of the exhibit. Expect to walk thru the exhibit rather quickly. It's nice how the dinosaurs look, they look real and they give a description on each of the dinosaurs because it is somewhat of an educational exhibit. This is definitely something to do with your kids, but it's not something I'm rushing back to do again.

    I took 36 second graders on a field trip here. The kids had a BLAST!! We read The Magic Tree House: Dinosaurs Before Dark and the exhibit was a perfect ending for our dinosaur unit. We love how "alive" the dinosaurs looked. The students enjoyed the interactive aquarium. The students and parents loved the scavenger hunt! In a separate area, the students spent most of their time coloring dinos and displaying it on the projector. Some really liked the VR and it was complimentary because we came as a group! Some students loved riding the little and big dinosaurs. And of course, they absolutely enjoyed shopping in the souvenir section. Their employees were so helpful! They played games with my students and even gave the birthday student a free keychain! So sweet! The manager, Timothy, and guide Bryan were so very kind and helpful! They checked in with me multiple times throughout the day to make sure our group was situated. They even moved furniture around so that my students had a place to eat for lunch. They even had decorations for the birthday student! It is an exhibit so it was somewhat small, but it entertained the students for the two hours we were there. I can't complain about the pricing because the school paid for the entrance tickets. 10/10 would come here again! Thank you Dinos Alive!

    I have to agree with another person. Yes its cute, and the Dino's are pretty cool but I feel like the price is way to high for the 15 minutes you spend in there. I paid 125 for 2 adults and 3 kids to walk for 15 minutes... parking was also 15$ for those 15-20 minutes. I don't think it's worth it.

    Great time! When you check in they hand you a scavenger hunt sheet and if you find them you get some free stickers! There's also a small room before exiting that has an interactive screen of sea animals. Kids loved it! The gift shop has two dinosaur rides a coloring station and VR experience but you do have to pay for rides and VR $5-8

    Do not get the upgraded package !!! It barely comes with anything. All the good stuff does not allow you to use the fast pass.

    We recently visited FairyTale Town with our two toddlers and absolutely loved it! If you're in…read moreSacramento with little ones, this is easily one of the best ways to spend a morning or afternoon. You can easily spend half a day here without anyone getting bored. What We Loved Immersive Play: The range of play structures is incredible. Our kids were obsessed with the recreations of famous children's books--walking through Mr. McGregor's Farm felt like stepping right into a storybook. Animals & Nature: Beyond the slides and climbing, the petting zoo and the peaceful Japanese pond (Urashima Taro) provided a great change of pace for the kids. Interactive Learning: The children's theatre is a gem. They have dedicated storytime and puppet shows that kept the toddlers completely engaged. Why It's a Must-Visit What makes this place even more amazing is that it's a non-profit. Knowing that your $10 admission (an absolute steal for the quality of the park!) goes back into maintaining such a creative space for the community makes the experience even better. It's right across from the Sacramento Zoo, so you can make a full day of it in Land Park if you have the energy! Perfect for ages 1-6, but even older kids will enjoy the nostalgia and creative structures.

    Amusement park in Sac (Land Park)…read more Currently, admission is $10/person. (Kids under two are free.) They also have some member options that are worth it if you plan to go frequently. Parking can get a bit difficult, since it's also close to the Zoo and Funderland. There are areas to slide, climb, and play. Also, there are animals (goats, rabbits, chickens/rooster, ox, mini horse, pigs) inside. The gift shop mostly contains generic items that don't say Fairytale Town, which don't make for the best of souvenirs. If you've never been here before, you can likely count on your kid enjoying at least a couple of hours here before getting bored. I'd say it's geared more for the younger children...older kids would probably benefit more from visiting the other two nearby attractions.

There aren't many bars around that combine drinks with classic arcade games, so it's refreshing to have a place where you can do both in one spot. They have a great variety of games to choose from--everything from classic fighting games and Pac-Man to Guitar Hero and pinball. I also really love the extras like the photo booth and air hockey, which add to the fun and make it easy to spend more time there with friends. It's strictly 21+ (not a bar and grill situation), which is honestly a plus--no kids running around. You do have to head down a set of stairs to get inside, so just be mindful if you're wearing heels. There's also a security check at the entrance where they verify IDs before letting you in. The place is almost always packed, especially on weekends. Because of that, I usually don't stay too long when it's crowded since it can start to feel a bit claustrophobic. Drinks are reasonably priced and taste fine--no real complaints there--but when it's busy, you definitely have to squeeze your way in to catch a bartender's attention. I've never had a bad experience here when going with friends, and it's generally a fun time in a group. That said, I'm not sure how enjoyable it would be if you were solo drinking, as the vibe really leans toward social, high-energy hangouts. Still, a fun spot with a cool concept that's worth checking out.

We bought our tickets online for $23, they go up daily. They were $29 at the gate the day we went. We took our time and brought our own snacks. We stayed about 3 hours. The grounds are on the smaller side for a zoo but clean and beautiful with ample areas to sit and eat/enjoy the park. There is a small playground too There are touristy things to pay extra for if you wanted. Also a cafe and gift shop. I did notice that while the animals seemed healthy the enclosures they live in are too small. The giraffes can watch traffic! I had to take a star for that.

The animal enclosures seem small to me but I'm positive the zoo and Davis' vet partnership makes sure the animals are happy and healthy! Tickets were $28 per person, purchasing a day before. I would recommend planning your trip in advance because it saves you $5-10 a ticket. I appreciate they allow outside food and drink, we were able to bring our own coffee and lunch which made walking around more enjoyable. This is a pretty versatile zoo for it being smaller. We saw all the animals during our visit between 9-12 and they recommend coming in the morning when animals are more active. Though there are lots of children and it's geared towards families, I would still recommend this for a couple's date or short outing with friends. Support the local zoo!
