A to Z Fairy Quest

Yes, this free quest is a happy summertime activity for kiddos, but we've discovered an added benefit. It also helps younger kiddos practice their reading skills over the summer break, and they'll want to do it. Isn't it amazing what a little fairy dust can accomplish?! (Don't worry, their learning will be our little secret.)

The A to Z Fairy Quest begins in the center court of Garnder Village, near the water tower.

THE FAIRIES HAVE, ahem, UPPED THEIR GAME

If, on the other hand, you’ve turned these fanciful activities into an annual tradition, prepare yourself. The fairies have created new homes up high, down low, and even on the water. In fact, you can easily walk right under a captivating residence without even realizing it, so make sure to look low AND high.

A STEP IN THE BRIGHT DIRECTION

Let’s be honest; it’s a tricky time. As Utah's color status transitions, we’re left in different stages of comfort in how we proceed. Gardner Village absolutely understands and respects that. For those ready for an adventure but who might not feel comfortable taking in all of their previous activities, the Woodland Fairy displays are a wonderful outdoor activity you can experience from a distance that feels best to you. For those ready to resume shopping and dining, we’ve loved welcoming you back. Oh, how we’ve missed you! Please know we continue to follow and practice CDC, local health department and government guidelines, as your safety is our top priority.
