May 18 - 19
Celebrating Everyday American Heroes
For Armed Forces Day (Saturday, May 18th), Playland-Not-at-the-Beach takes TWO days to celebrate all of America's heroes—peace officers and first responders, teachers and nurses (all of whom have their own days in May). Show us your professional ID or business card and receive a hero's discount of two dollars off admission and 100 free prize tickets as a thank you for all you do (military spouses and family members with military ID can receive the same discount).
The special events of the Everyday American Heroes Celebration 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.
Hours of Operation: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
