Fairytale Town Educational Programs take place in a 3.5-acre children’s play park and outdoor children’s museum with 26 playsets based on nursery rhymes and fairytales, a friendly flock of farm animals, two performing arts stages, and several gardens. The setting includes animals from the pages of children’s stories, including Peter Rabbit at Mr. McGregor’s Garden and the sheep that Mary brought to school one day, along with seasonal vegetable beds and an alphabet of exotic plants. Children encounter features such as Sherwood Forest’s extensive play fort, Jack’s Beanstalk slide, Cinderella’s carriage, The Crooked Mile play structure, and King Arthur’s Castle. Annual memberships are available and include free admission and park discounts for twelve months.
