The BYOB restaurant will feature farm-to-table “new American cuisine” in a “casual, fun dine in environment” as well as a to-go area offering ice cream and organic juice, according to Fairy Tale Forest’s website.

The park which is themed around European fairy tales like Cinderella, Hansel & Gretel, and Mother Goose, opened in 1957 and operated until 2003. After that, a self-storage facility took over the space.
