    Authentic German food, it was great! Portion size for lunch…read morewas perfect. Pricing very reasonable. Decor was enchanting. Gift shop was fully stocked!

    Oak Ridge, NJ - calling all influencers! This place is hugely Instagrammable and super enchanting!…read moreLol. Mariah Carey even shot her Christmas music video here. But you don't have to care about snapping cute pics to appreciate that Fairy Tale Forest is an absolute wholesome delight for children and for adults to live their childhood nostalgia. There is a real magical forest feel as you wander through the park, which isn't large, but the life-size storybook cottages and fairy tale sets are beautifully detailed and lovingly restored. The grounds are clean and well-manicured (a sign says the gardens are curated by Raine Garden Designs). A list of daily events & activities are posted such as magic shows, live music, and character meet & greets. The staff and actors are all warm and friendly. My child loved running around and exploring, participating in the activities, but I enjoyed it just as much if not more. There are shaded picnic tables under umbrellas (next to the Bluebird Stage so you can catch a show while you eat). The food is from the on-site restaurant Fables, and is quite good, certainly better than your average amusement park fare (I was really happy to get a proper salad!). The restaurant is only open for private parties/events/rentals at the moment, but I'm told they hope to have it up and running at some point. The interior is also themed. There is a reasonably priced gift shop with a nice selection of toys, souvenirs, costumes, and gifts. I would say this park is suitable for younger kids, maybe up to 8 or even an unjaded 10yo (have your kids dress up as knights, wizards, princesses, and fairy tale characters!). It's also kind of a cool spot for a date. This is an "analog" park with some animatronics, and you shouldn't expect any dazzling razzmatazz or high-octane thrills. Six Flags it ain't. But come with the right mindset for the unique experience this is and you won't be disappointed. It's good ol' fashioned throwback family fun and brings back an era that doesn't exist anymore. Indeed, many NJ locals have fond memories of this park from when they were young. It was built in the 1950s by an industrious German dude and features scenes from Grimm's Fairytales that his mother used to read to the family, and was expanded with more set pieces over the next couple of decades. Unfortunately it closed down in 2003 and FINALLY reopened last year, after efforts were stalled during the pandemic. All I can say is goooo and visit this charming, singular, and uncorporatized attraction, and support a still founding family-owned local business. It's a complete joy!

    Came here because it was way too hot to be outside and I needed my toddler to burn some energy lol…read more I loved that they didn't have a million rules -- you can leave and come back, bring your own snacks, and everything felt very convenient. The play area itself was very clean. We went on a Sunday and it was super chill, not packed at all. Paid $27 because I needed socks. There were two men and one girl working at the front. They were attentive to any kids attempting to leave ( mine included lol). The girl was constantly cleaning, organizing, and restocking the entire time. The men, however, were mostly on their phones, and the reason it bothered me was because the place was nearly empty and the bathroom clearly needed attention. One of them even heard me mention it on the way out and still didn't bother to check it. If my toddler had been potty trained, I honestly would've left to take her somewhere else to use the bathroom. I was really disappointed because when you're serving children, cleanliness should be a priority throughout the entire establishment. If the place had been packed or they seemed understaffed, I probably wouldn't have gone out of my way to mention it, but in this case it just didn't make sense.

    Lack of cleanliness procedures (feces) - I think it is very important for parents and caregivers to…read moreunderstand the total lack of cleanliness procedures in place here. My family and I had been to this play place before and it is very fun, and not overly busy. However, the most recent time we went, my husband noticed feces smeared across the floor. The only person attending the main desk was walking behind with a lysol wipe to clean it. There was no announcement, no guiding children and families away from the contaminated area, no shutting down to properly clean. As I gathered my kids to leave out of our choosing for health and safety reasons, we found out there was more smeared feces throughout the entire play area - ball pit included - and the play areas began to stink. Even still, there was no announcement to parents. Kids were running around the feces while the worker rubbed a lysol wipe. My husband politely approached the worker and asked about the procedures in place to properly clean after a contamination of this level, and the response was, "I cleaned." To let children play in the near vicinity of feces, completely unaware, with no notification to parents is appalling. To get at the very least a refund (for a place where admission is good for the entire day) when we only stayed about 20 minutes after this happened, would have been much appreciated and we would have understood. Accidents happen! But this did not occur. The employee told my husband they would reach out via email, but he heard nothing. A near $50 down the drain for admission for 2 kids and 2 non-skid pairs of socks that had to be thrown away in case they had unknowingly walked through the feces.
