A non-profit amusement park for kids located in Applegate Park. Open Saturday & Sunday from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm. Our operating season is usually April - October.

Kiddieland will open soon for the 2026 season! We have six rides desigened for children to enjoy. Rides require 1 ticket with exception of the Train, our Main Attraction, requires two tickets per rider. Tickets cost .50 each, so for the cost of $3.50 a child can ride all the rides one time. We also offer an all day wrist band for $10.00 that allows the wearer to ride all rides an unlimited amount of times all day on the day it is purchased.

Were you in a student club in high school? Were you in a Key Club? Recently, our Kiwanis Student Key Club at Goldens Valley High School held their club rush. They did a wonderful job explaining what Key Club is & all the awesome opportunities (community service, scholarship opportunities, leadership, etc). Each of our Key Clubs have Kiwanis member advisors.

Kiddieland appreciates all of our Key Club students!

Kiwanis Club of Greater Merced supports Key Clubs GVHS GVHS Key Club & Merced High Merced Key Club.
