"Amazing!"

Winterthur is a wonderful park for all ages.  The grounds and estate are awe inspiring and if you go in the Spring, you will be swept away by some of the most beautiful scenery ever.   But it's not just for adults.

The Enchanted Woods are completely magical.  Fairy rings, tiny mushroom stools, a wishing well and fairy cottage, a huge nest for playing and a water feature are just a few of the delightful parts of this part of the park.  Our children felt they had stepped into a magical world and could have spent all day there.

We ADORE this park.  The price is expensive, but well worth it!

"Enchanted Woods"

With smaller children, you may want to skip the indoor exhibits (do kids really care about a collection of soup tureens?) and head to the Enchanted Woods.  This beautiful setting is full of whimsy and activities to ignite the creativity in young kids.  It's particularly good for preschool and early elementary kids.

At the end of your visit, the tram ride around the grounds will give everyone a chance to wind down and end on a magical note.
