Hints from the Fairies to Make Your Visit More Enjoyable

Strollers - Our gardens have narrow walk ways, so we kindly request you park all strollers on our side porch. Consider bringing a Sling or Infant Carrier for your littlest fairies.

Cash is Best - Our front entrance, craft areas and food court are not equipped for credit card sales. Master Card and Lady Visa are accepted for purchases in our herbal gift shop and by some vendors. The closest ATM is at the CVS, 30 E. Simpson Street.

Pets - We love pets, but kindly request you leave them at home.

Parking - All parking is Free. On Saturday, visitors may park at the Grace United Methodist Church, corner of Simpson and Market. Free street parking is also available around the shop. There is a Municipal Parking Lot on W. Strawberry Alley.

A Pixie Tip - Bring a small bag for crafts, treasures, and trinkets that you collect.

"This was a perfect day for my daughter and I, we created a lifetime memory and a new mother/daughter tradition. Can't wait for next year! We drove from DC and it was completely worth the trip."

"Thankyou for a lovely day!"

"It was so nice for older girls to have crafts and activities that were appropriate for them."

"The experience is truly unique and exciting for the children in our community. The admission fee for the chance to see my children have a great time is one of my finer investments. Thanks for the magic!"
