Enchanted Forest Princess Stroll

Just follow the marked path and see who you meet first!

Along the way, children learn a what it takes to be a princess, from waves to twirls to warrior poses. Show your new-found skills to the final princess pair for a special favor box to take home!

Feel free to dress in your favorite Princess or special occasion dress, and don’t forget your mask! Princes and Superheroes are encouraged to come as well. Shoes appropriate for natural terrain highly recommended.

 

A portion of all proceeds directly benefit Pine Hollow Arboretum.
