For a limited time, experience Once Upon A Time . . . Exploring the World of Fairy Tales, a new exhibit at The Magic House. This unique and educational exhibit focuses on the power and significance of fairy tales throughout history and from around the world.
From an African jungle to a giant's castle, visitors explore larger-than-life pages of seven fairy tales. Visitors enter the exhibit via a magical portal into a fabulous storybook kingdom where they'll learn the meaning and history of tales they've known all their lives and others that may be new to them.
This limited-time exhibit opens Jan. 12 and will magically disappear after its final day on Jan. 29!
Open during regular museum hours.
