Fairy Park is situated 60 minutes drive from the Melbourne CBD. It has taken over 45 years to create and is Australia’s first and oldest theme park. It is built on 24 acres of a rocky granite outcrop, known as "Elephant Rock", and nestled beside the extinct volcano of Mt. Anakie. The spectacular rock formations form an integral part of the entire design layout.
Here you will find Aladdin, Sinbad, Snow White, Alice, Hansel & Gretel, the 3 Bears and many more. There is an adventure playground appropriately named 'Camelot' with every facility a child could want, and just enough excitement. There are towers to climb, dungeons to visit, and a damsel who has lost her head!!!
As you can see, the area is just lovely. If you aren't interested in the lovely things set out for you to see and hear (most of the things on display have music and movement to them), then you can just enjoy the clean air and the lovely foliage that surrounds fairy park.
If you put aside two hours or more you will be able to see everything that Fairy Park has to offer. Make it a leisurely day and take along a picnic or use the BBQ areas provided. There is also a kiosk and you can plan ahead and book a function too.
There are over 20 animated hand crafted scenes that will come to life at the push of a button, all with digitised sound and lighting.
For train enthusiasts, the Hilltop Castle incorporates a huge model train set and a Train Museum housing a rare collection of Markilin (guage1) model trains.
Fairy Park has been transformed into an amazing place that will have you return time after time and from generation to generation.
