Storytime Saturdays

Saturdays at 11 a.m., starting on June 10
Each Saturday at 11 a.m., join us on the main Village Green for a FREE storytime session featuring a favorite children’s book! Together with the six majestic sculptures that celebrate beloved stories and characters such as fairy tales, Peter Pan, The Jungle Book, Winnie-the-Pooh, Mother Goose stories, and Alice in Wonderland, these weekly readings on the Village Green will entertain and delight young visitors. Afterwards, families can marvel at the sculptures and build their own castles in one of the Village sandboxes.

Readings will run 15-25 minutes. You are welcome to bring a blanket to sit on during the storytime. Each Storytime Saturday will be presented by one of our Village shops.
