FAIRYTALE TRAIL WITH A PRINCESS
IT'S TIME TO OPEN UP THE GATES!
Enter a world where fairytales come to life as Once Upon A Princess cordially invite you to Fairytale Trail With A Princess at gorgeous Carrick Hill Castle located in the leafy suburb of Springfield.
Back for the fourth year, children will enter a whole new world, a magical place will come to life from meeting the Royal Guard to being directed up the winding road towards a land far far away. See animal sculptures, native birds and 200 year old trees paving the way leading to a grand old castle perched high on the hill overlooking the kingdom - just like you see in the movies!
Children will be swept into a world of fairytale magic as they walk through an enchanting garden trail, weave past ponds and groves of trees, meet Princess characters along the way and collect a keepsake trinket. All the favourite storybook characters along the trail include Cinderella (and the Royal carriage), Rapunzel, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, the Snow Sisters, Arabian Princess, Island Princess, Dancing Beauty and the Little Mermaid. Children will discover the natural world through the castle's parklands and gardens, using classic children's tales to encourage the imagination. Meet the Royal Unicorn ponies, pat and feed the baby animals from Old McDonald's Animal Farm, take a stroll through the exquisite flower gardens filled with sweet scents, explore creeks, ponds, water features, Peter Rabbit's Garden, and spot the local ducks, ducklings, and cockatoos.
On completion of the trail children can go on to play in the Storybook Trail which focuses on British classic tales to encourage the imagination. They'll encounter The Quidditch tree from the Harry Potter series of books, Charlotte's Web (a large rope spider's web in a frame safe for children to climb and play on) with Wilbur the pig nearby, little cubby houses, and the Magic Faraway Tree leading the imagination to wonder where fairies live and more! Speaking of fairies, maybe Tinker Fairy will visit from her pixie kingdom to say hello!
With exclusive access to the entire castle grounds, and many stunning photo opportunities to capture some magical moments, including a photo opportunity in Cinderella's Carriage. Why not pack a picnic basket, rug, sunscreen, hat and enjoy a day out on the lawns.
