Fairyland is also a rich educational experience that fills young children with the joy of reading, exploring, and imagining. A field trip to Fairyland can enhance your teaching curriculum while giving kids a memorable day away from the classroom, in a beautiful park on the shores of Lake Merritt.

Fairyland helps children discover:

• Reading. Through stories, nursery rhymes, storybook sets, and talking Storybook Boxes, kids discover the pleasures of the written and spoken word
• Life sciences. Our gentle animals and storybook-themed gardens introduce city kids to the natural world in a safe, friendly environment.
• Theater. Kids love the international tales enacted in or renowned Storybook Puppet Theater. Music, costume, fantasy, and story combine to create vivid entertainment that’s far more involving and meaningful than TV!

We offer resources for classroom activities before and after the field trip, as well as suggestions for special activities while your group is at Fairyland.
