Highlights
Outing Highlights
Hands-on fairy and dino garden crafting
Children roll up their sleeves at garden stations stocked with natural materials and miniature accessories to design and build a take-home fairy garden or dino habitat—an intentionally sensory, creative activity that emphasizes imagination and tactile exploration.
Tiny Town: unstructured playtime
A beloved Tiny Town play area bookends the crafting: children enjoy a dedicated play session before or after the garden stations, offering social play opportunities and free exploration in a child-scaled environment.
On-site café and optional add-ons
Parents can relax in the on-site café while kids create; guests may purchase add-ons like books, charms, stuffed animals or specialty coffee, or pre-purchase 'Book Fair Bucks' for future in-store spending.
