About Us

A large whimsical shoe structure at Fairy Tale Forest.

Step off Oak Ridge Road and into a world your kids didn't know was possible. Fairy Tale Forest sits on a wooded property in Oak Ridge, NJ, where towering oaks shade a hand-crafted landscape of storybook cottages, fairy tale characters, and exhibits that fire up a child's imagination in ways a screen simply cannot. Reviewers with 4.6 stars across 177 visits keep coming back for the same reason: this place feels genuinely cared for, immaculately clean, and refreshingly unhurried.

The park's performers don't just wave from a distance. They walk the grounds between shows, learn your toddler's name, and make every child feel like the main character of the story. That personal touch is baked into everything here, from the Fables restaurant to the whimsical wall murals painted by generations of the same family. Baby showers, birthday parties, and summer traditions all find a home in this forest.

Open Thursday through Sunday, 10 AM to 6 PM, Fairy Tale Forest keeps its guest count manageable so the experience never feels rushed or overcrowded. Admission is priced so families can actually afford to make it a yearly ritual, and the gift shoppe gives little ones something to carry the magic home.

What We Offer

General admission gets you into a fully realized fairy tale world: themed exhibits and attractions drawn from classic storybooks, scheduled live entertainment with interactive performers, and beautifully maintained wooded grounds that feel like a different century.

Beyond the park itself, Fairy Tale Forest hosts birthday parties with dedicated staff, group reservations for schools and organizations, and full facility rentals for events like baby showers and private gatherings. Catering is handled through the on-site Fables restaurant, so food is never an afterthought. Seasonal events, including chess tournaments and Christmas in July, keep the calendar fresh year-round.

Gift cards are available for the families on your list who deserve a day of genuine wonder. Whether you are booking a group or simply showing up for a Thursday afternoon, the experience is designed to feel special every single time.

"We had SUCH a wonderful visit and plan to make this a tradition every summer. The park was very reasonably priced, very clean, not crowded, and the performers were all so sweet and welcoming toward my baby. We were pleasantly surprised that lunch was delicious. Typically, at these types of places, the food isn’t great. But they had a great menu, everything was fresh, and we were really pleased."

"We had a baby shower there today. Mike and the entire staff were so professional and friendly. The floors, the wall murals done by generations of family members pose a whimsical and nostalgic feel. It's perfect for showers, weddings, birthdays, etc. Food choices and quality were amazing. The lighting was dimmed or brightened to our liking. Mike even put on a spotify playlist to match the theme. The guests had such a great time. They pulled out all of the stops to make this shower beautiful and smoothe. Very well done!"

"To start, the park is beautiful. You walk around and immediately feel the magic! We fell in love with the scenery within minutes of arriving and chose to get married here! Our wedding was a fairytale come true and was more perfect than i could put into words. The owners are so hardworking and are lovely people to talk and work with! Not to mention they are so passionate about what they do here and it shows in the park and food :) their staff as well was lovely and made us feel so special. If you haven't visited this park yet, I promise you are missing out!"
