Home to a friendly menagerie of animals from the pages of favorite children’s stories, children can meet Peter Rabbit at Mr. McGregor’s Garden and see the sheep that Mary brought to school one day. Small gardeners can help water seasonal vegetable beds and seek out a sprouting alphabet of exotic plants. Small adventurers can join Robin Hood’s band of Merry Men in Sherwood Forest’s extensive play fort. Children can go down Jack’s Beanstalk, ride in Cinderella’s carriage, and burn off extra energy walking on The Crooked Mile, a favorite play structure for many generations.

King Arthur’s Castle has been the place for unforgettable birthday parties for three generations. Annual memberships make it easy for today’s families to make Fairytale Town part of their lives, with free admission and park discounts for twelve whole months.

Year-round special events, theater performances and educational programming celebrate holidays, introduce multicultural themes, promote literacy and offer creative experiences to thousands of visitors.
