Fairytale Trail with a Princess at Carrick Hill
Enter a world where fairytales come to life as Once Upon A Princess cordially invites you to Fairytale Trail With A Princess at gorgeous Carrick Hill Castle located in the leafy suburb of Springfield.
Hosted at a grand old castle estate perched high on a hill overlooking the kingdom – it’s just like you see in the movies! Children will experience a whole new world, a magical place that will come to life in a land far far away. Exclusive to Adelaide, it’s the only event of its kind not only in Australia but the world.
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 small keepsake trinket from each. 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, the Little Mermaid and the Fairy Godmother.
Children will also discover the natural world through the estate’s parklands and gardens, using classic children’s tales to encourage imagination. Take a stroll through the exquisite flower gardens filled with sweet scents, explore creeks, ponds, water features, and Peter Rabbit’s Garden, and spot the local ducks, ducklings, and cockatoos. Imagine children’s excitement as they meet the Royal Unicorn ponies, and pat and feed the baby animals at Old McDonald’s Animal Farm.
With exclusive access to the entire grounds, there are stunning photo opportunities to capture some magical moments including Cinderella’s Carriage. Coffee, tea, soft serve ice cream, hot cinnamon doughnuts, sausage sizzle and slushies are included in the ticket price. You can also pack a picnic basket and enjoy your own picnic on the lawns.
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!
