Come to the Enchanted Forest, a magical place where fairy tales come to life. The forest village of Kleves is home to the Brothers and Sister Grimm, the Fairy Godmother, the Evil Queen, the townspeople, the Vikings, and many other fairytale characters!

The lanes of the Enchanted Forest are home to a number of fantasical characters, a variety of entertaining stage shows, many different shops, a food court full of delicious food, and a real working tavern. Our littlest guests can visit The Children's Knoll, a corner of the woods made just for them, full of games, activities, and crafts for the whole family.
