Old-Fashioned Family Fun in San Antonio
A Vintage Kiddie Park
Generations of San Antonio locals and visitors alike have taken their kids to the park since it first opened in 1925, and the shaded grounds are still a popular place for children’s birthday parties.
Pint-Sized Rides
The rides are sized just right for a little kid (especially those 2 to 6 years old). In fact, adults won’t fit in most rides so children get to claim Kiddie Park as their very own little paradise.
The colorful Ferris wheel, miniature boat ride and little plane and flying saucer rides are charmingly old-fashioned.
Antique Merry-Go-Round
Kiddie Park’s gem is the 1918 antique merry-go-round featuring dozens of hand-carved jumping horses and calliope music that still cast an enchanting spell. Some of the horses are missing tails and legs from their years of use, but that just enhances the park’s vintage ambiance and character.
So does the old-fashioned snack bar that offers spun cotton candy, popcorn, snow cones, hot dogs, corn dogs, nachos and drinks. A game room features video games, Skee-Ball and pinball machines. Even the park’s trash cans are designed with kids (and kids at heart) in mind, with a clown head on top and a gaping mouth that “gobbles” trash.
