Give a Gift to the Future of Fairytale Town

Once again, we are asking for the support of our community to begin a new chapter: Creating an expanded Fairytale Town with new amenities and features! While we’ve served four generations well, Fairytale Town needs enhancements to meet the needs of our community.

Pandemic Safety at Fairytale Town
Wondering about pandemic safety at Fairytale Town? Here are a few things to put your mind at ease.
You’re outside!
The risk of COVID-19 transmission drops exponentially in the outdoors, especially when the interactions are in passing.
Cleaning your little one’s hands is easy.
Thanks to dozens of new hand cleanser dispensers throughout the park, kids and families can sanitize easily. A dispenser is within sight at virtually every spot in the park.
Touchless transactions.
Your money transactions can be completely touchless thanks to high-tech credit card scanners at the Box Office and café; and paid reservations can be made online.
Mask-up Monday Mornings.
If you and your family feel more comfortable in a masked environment, Fairytale Town has implemented Mask-Up Monday Mornings.
During the two-hour period, masks will be required for all guests 3 years and up. The policy will be enforced. Guests who cannot wear masks are welcome to visit at any other time slot during the week.
Masks will continue to be optional at all other times.
