Booths and Games
Tunes & Treats
Walk (or dance!) in a circle until the music stops. We spin the rainbow wheel to select a number and whoever is standing on the square with that number wins a homemade treat.
The Knight’s Quest
Test your strength and agility in a fun all-ages ropes course that includes a zip line, swing, and tight rope! When you complete the course, you’ll be knighted by a queen or king.
The Sleeping Giant
Find the courage to sneak up to the Sleeping Giant and dash away with his beloved hen without waking him! Bold souls who steal the hen will be rewarded with a golden egg!
The Mermaid Lagoon
You need patience to catch a fish in the magical mermaid lagoon. Once you do, bring your catch to the friendly mermaid or merman to receive an enchanted gift from the sea.
The Viking Workshop
Create your own leather-stamped cuff or fairy wand to take home! Hands-on crafting fun for all ages — a perfect blend of creativity and adventure.
