## About

During December weekends, Sacramento's historic Fairytale Town in William Land Park transforms into a magical evening storybook wonderland. Thousands of twinkling holiday lights illuminate beloved nursery rhyme play structures, including Cinderella's carriage, the Crooked Mile, and Humpty Dumpty's castle. Children can delight in guaranteed nightly snow flurries over the Mother Goose stage, write letters to the North Pole at craft tables, visit Santa Claus inside his cozy workshop sleigh, and enjoy hot cocoa, warm churros, and festive acoustic caroling.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Paved pathways wind through the entire 3.5-acre storybook park; stroller parking areas are available beside popular play equipment.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: The Dish & Spoon Cafe offers indoor/covered seating; park restrooms feature clean baby changing tables.
• Age Suitability: Especially designed for children ages 0–10 and their families.
• Sensory Tips: Gentle, warm storybook ambiance without strobes or blaring speakers; predictable snow flurry machine creates soft visual fun.
