ANAKIE FAIRY PARK.

Come and visit this unique and wonderous place, as Anakie Fairy Park turns 50 years old.

Yes, 2009 marks the 50th anniversary of the Anakie Fairy Park, and What fantastic memories most of us have of our visit there.

Only a short drive from Geelong or Werribee, Anakie Fairy Park is an experience that will delight everybody who visits.

Set on 10 hectares around one of 3 rocky pinnacles known as “The Anakies” in the Brisbane Ranges, the park is a must to visit if you have children, or are young at heart. Privately owned and 50 years in the making, it has mobile dioramas of every significant fairy tale ever told and a few you may not have heard of.

There are adventure playgrounds, picnic and electric coin operated BBQ’s in the picnic areas, with hot water on tap and plenty of shelter. Plenty of parking and heaps to do, with towers to climb, dungeons to visit and lots more. Kiosk and Restuarant open weekends and school holidays.

Fairy Park, Anakie, is open every day from 10.00am to 4.00pm. (Except Christmas Day) Admission Charges apply.
