Children's Theater

Children's theater programming at Fairytale Town introduces students to live theater in a safe, lively and child-friendly environment. Groups can enjoy a variety of performances designed specifically for children Pre-K through 4th grade and learn the vocabulary of theater. Students are encouraged to participate in call-and-response with the performers and are often invited to help create the performance itself. Performances subject to change.

Two weeks advanced reservations is required to qualify your group for the discounted rates and guarantee Fairytale Town entrance.
