Family Day Out at Fairy Park, Anakie.

I can’t believe this is our first time at Fairy Park. I’ve known of its existence forever, but Anakie just always seemed so far to get to. 

Then there’s a question of whether the kids would enjoy it after all this effort. Anyways, my sister made a last minute decision to visit this morning, and we spontaneously decided to join her. Harry Potter audiobook in the car made the 1.5 hour drive with Mr 7 year old tolerable. 

 

Fairy Park has a reputation of being dated and tacky, so I didn’t have high hopes. I was pleasantly surprised at how wrong I was. The castle-on-a-hill view that greeted us was magical! We started at the bottom of the hill and visited each little structure/display. The path is clean and well marked, the strictures and sculptures are bright and freshly painted. Mr 7 & Miss just-turned-3, as well as their cousin little Miss 2, were mesmerised by each and every story. They squished their little face against each window display and watched the animated-puppet story sequence repeat several rounds before moving on.
