Every summer Fairytale Town opens its gates after hours for a night of family fun! Families set up camp all over Fairytale Town’s 3.5 acres. Tents, sleeping bags, blankets, chairs and picnic dinners are common items you’ll see during the event. After the last guest arrives, the gates are locked and the fun begins! With a scavenger hunt, craft activity, bedtime stories, and more, each Family Campout is a fun experience for the entire family. From the experienced camper to the first timer, it’s the perfect summer adventure! A light breakfast is served at 6 AM. Campers must say goodbye to Fairytale Town at 7 AM, but are welcome to re-enter the park for a day of play once it reopens.
