Witches & Wizards Weekend at Playland-Not-at-the-Beach

As the bewitching time of the year approaches, Playland becomes a bit more haunted. All Harry Potters and friends can explore our magic potions, mysterious spells and enchantments. Bring your magic wands and broomsticks, come in costume for special prizes!  The special events of “Witches & Wizards Weekend” are in addition to all of Playland's regular attractions. Playland-Not-at-the-Beach is a nonprofit Museum of Fun. Designed and built entirely by volunteers, the 20+ interactive exhibits celebrate the magic and history of America's bygone amusements -- circuses, carnivals, magic, side shows, penny arcades, amusement devices, pinball arcades, haunted houses, and beautiful art everywhere. Our goal is to educate newer generations about the bygone days and allow those who remember Whitney's Playland and the Sutro Baths the opportunity to recapture the glorious sights and sounds of that marvelous era.
Guests pay one low price to enter and can play all day: $10 for children and seniors, and $15 for general admission. Open 10:00am-5:00pm.
