Favorite fairytales and nursery rhymes are the backdrop for more than 25 colorful playsets, all designed to inspire creativity and literacy in young children. Nigerian Dwarf goats, Vietnamese pot-bellied pigs, a miniature Sicilian donkey, and a miniature Hereford cow are among the child-friendly creatures that you’ll find here. Located at various play sets around the park are storybook boxes. Insert your special key and you’ll hear a story and a song. The keys are available for purchase at the box office.
