Kids' activities and a children's rate.
Good to know
- 2026 run (5 weekends, Nov 21 - Dec 20, plus the Friday after Thanksgiving, 10am-6pm) confirmed via the official dickensfair.com and Cow Palace listings, fetched 2026-09-10. `weekday: [Sat, Sun]` covers the weekend days; the single extra Friday (11/27) isn't matched by that pattern -- noted here.
- Venue is the Cow Palace (2600 Geneva Ave), which straddles the SF / Daly City line right at the Bayview-Hunters Point edge -- long treated as an SF event. Ticketed; adult day passes run roughly $40-45, discounted child tickets, kids under 5 free (confirm current pricing at dickensfair.com).
