This theater was originally constructed as a model schoolhouse for Sweden's contribution to the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. In 1877, Frederick Law Olmsted moved the Cottage to its present site in Central Park. In 1947, it became the headquarters of Parks' Traveling Marionette Theatre, and in 1973, it was remodeled to include a permanent stage. Since then this small wooden lodge has hosted daily marionette shows that bring fairy tales alive for enchanted audiences.

Produced by Adrian Sas

Reservations are required. Tickets are $8/adults, $5/children under 12. http://www.cityparksfoundation.org/swedish_cottage.html
