 Kid's Corner
Will My Kids Have Fun?
Absolutely! Our festival is filled with activities and fun to keep kids of all ages busy. We're very family-friendly, starting with admission: children 12 & under are FREE! We have a private tent for mommies and new babies, wide walkways for strollers, and many places to stop and rest. All guests also receive wristbands, allowing you to enter and exit during the day as much as needed. Once you've arrived you'll discover many areas of the festival have games and hands-on experiences, from the Niagara Celtic  prize wheel, to free pony rides, to the chance to become knights and soldiers. The center of fun is found in Region 6 at The Kid's Corner. Storytellers, animals, games, crafts and face painting can be found. Kids can test their skills by entering the fairy's maze, and trying a Caber Pole Toss at the Mini Highland Games Practice Field. Of course there's plenty more to see and do than we could list here, so make sure your visit includes a stop at the The Kid's Corner. And remember to say hello to Page the Book Fairy! |
