July 30 - 31
Silly Hat Weekend
Keep your hat on! We're letting the fun go to our heads at Playland this weekend. Come in your most fashion faux-pas headwear, and we'll give you a prize just for looking silly on top. $15 for general admission ($10 for children and seniors).
The special events of Silly Hat Weekend are in addition to all of Playland's regular attractions. Guests pay one low price to enter and can play all day: $10 for children and seniors, and $15 for general admission. 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.
• Open Monday through Friday from 12:00 noon through 5:00pm
• Open Saturday & Sunday – 10:00am-5:00pm
