Did you know that there was once a magical amusement park on the Oregon Coast? Pixieland opened on June 28, 1969 and was a top destination for family fun on the coast. This whimsical park had everything: thrilling log flume rides, a penny arcade, train rides, an enchanted forest and even an opera house with daily live performances.
