Fairytale Farm is divided into six main zones: Huff and Puff for adventure play; Enchanted Walk for our fairytale sensory experience; Alfie and Friends, where you can meet our amazing animals; Jack’s Yard, where you can visit Mouse Town, see our Snow White Garden, marvel at Jack’s beanstalk (from February 2020), play in our sandpit, enjoy our Café and magical fairytale village indoor play area (from Summer 2020); our brand new Wilderness Walk area (fully open from Spring 2020), where you can meander through a range of wildlife habitats and experience our mini world of seasonal senses along the way; and the gradually developing Fairy Dell area, with more features being added all the time.

There are loads of new attractions at Fairytale Farm for 2020. See our incredible new beanstalk, climbing high into the sky from Jack’s Yard, by the entrance to our magical Enchanted Walk (from February 2020). We have created a whole new area for our ducks and geese, with enlarged pond and new duck house, opening spring 2020 – how many different breeds of ducks can you see? Animal-lovers can also marvel at our unique new turkey house, built out of recycled plastic bottles, and we also have some new arrivals to the farm: two beautiful peafowl, one male peacock and a peahen. You can also enjoy our gorgeous new Snow White Garden, with its life-size characters, Snow White’s Castle, the dwarfs’ cottage, now with Prince Charming. And new for Summer 2020 is our new indoor play village, The Land of Make Believe, themed around a fairytale town, with slides, fairy houses to visit, role playing and interactive features. This indoor play village is unique in Oxfordshire.
