I LOVED this place as a child and grew up to be a children's librarian. I talk about the impact that place made on my imagination so often that I all but fell out of my shoes when my brother sent this. I wish I'd won the lottery. I'd buy it for a some lucky elementary schools.
they have been fixing up the exterior this summer, and they have put up a new fence, probably to stop all the trespassing. There is a good farmstand there, and i've never tried the BBQ at the place that was the hot dog place, but it just celebrated 1st anniversary. (I drive past all the time on my way to my sisters house)
How very sad. Not only did I go there a few times as a child, but I also brought my daughters there about 8 or 9 years ago. It was a bit run down, from what I remember, but not as bad as your footage shows.
Thanks for this! I live nearby Fairytale forest & remember going on a "field trip" here when I was very young. They DID try to revive Fairytale forest about 12 years ago or so, sadly - it just can't compete with today's technology. It is a great remembrance of what used to be.
Neat. Kind of reminded me of Storybook Gardens in Wisconsin Dells that I saw as a child in late '60s or early '70s. Not sure if it still exists today or not.
Excellent video!!! So sad, but beautiful!!
