8/4/19. UPDATE: GVRD staff contacted my family, informed us that they have banned the groups that were there on this day. They were very understanding of our concerns. I am changing my review to 5 stars and would give more if I could!
I took my 2 1/2 year old grandson and my friends 7 1/2 year old son there today(Friday 7/19/19) there were lots of older kids there, preteen to earlyteen that were rough housing, punching each other, calling each other names, cussing, climbing on top of the train and other structures, pushing the little kids out of the way. There were some teens with them that had badges on that I assume were in charge of teens there same age and they were just as bad as the other kids. There were no adults that were in charge to be found. I asked the teens at the entrance if they could tell me why all of these older kids were here and the said that there was a preschool field trip and 3 youth gvrd camps there today. I asked if they could get me a adult that was present with these older kids and they could not point one out.
Childrens Wonderland is a place for younger children not groups of teens having day camp. My grandson was upset and even my friends son had no fun and wanted to leave. I am so very disappointed in my time spent there, which was less than a hour and I paid $12.00 for 4 of us to enter.
I do plan on speaking to someone in the GVRD office...
Read moreThe park was a fun, probably one-time stop for us while driving back from the Jelly Belly Factory. Admission was $5 per adult and $3 per child over age three. We decided to go in so the kids could have something to do for about an hour before heading home—but they ended up playing for a couple of hours!
There are tons of opportunities for imaginative play, running around, and exploring different props, plus a play set with swings and slides. It’s perfect for kids ages 3–12, though there’s not much to keep teens entertained. Parents will appreciate the many seating areas for watching or joining in the fun. There’s also a nice walking path around the park, and we felt very safe while there.
I wouldn’t go out of my way to visit again since there’s an entry fee, but it was definitely worth the time we spent. Such a great spot for Vallejo residents—especially since they get...
Read moreTook my friend and her kids, a 1.5 year old and an 8 y.o., we all had a great time. Big place with a good variety of things for the kids to play on or interact with. The older child is a nature kid and played with the cool water stream in the dinosaur area almost the entire time. The teapot & teacups and the cool train station/train play structure area were the younger childs favorites. There is a large play structure on the other side of the park that both kids loved. Lots of shaded and non-shaded seating as well as large grassy areas to picnic. We went midday on a Sunday and it wasn't overly busy at all! They had ice creams and popsicles for a...
