Since the Children’s Garden opened in 2018, fairies from all over seem to be moving in and taking over. What was once just one fairy village has grown to several fairy villages in just four years! And that’s not all you’ll find in the Children’s Garden.

The Children’s Garden is located right off the big Avenue of Oaks just past the Plantation House and the Maze. We did already mention there’s much to see at Magnolia Gardens besides the Children’s Garden. While you’re here check out the House, the Gardens, the Nature Boat, the Zoo & Nature Center, the Swamp Gardens, and the Peacock Cafe. Sounds like a lot, right? That’s why your one-day admission ticket also allows you to return again within seven days for free! It’s open every day of the year starting at 9 a.m. (except closed on Christmas Day). Note, some of the sights listed above require an added admission. But admission to the Children’s Garden is included in the general admission ticket.
