Wendy's life gets sprinkled with a little pixie dust when the daring Peter Pan comes along to whisk her away to the magical island of Neverland where children never grow up. With the help of Tinkerbell, the Lost Boys, Tiger Lilly, mermaids, and a rather dedicated crocodile, Peter and Wendy battle the dreaded, but extremely funny pirate, Captain Hook! In this swashbuckling adventure, which includes opportunities for audience participation, our heroes must decide if growing up is really all that bad. Best for ages 4-10. TICKETS >>

When she meets one, it’s clear that he’s not interested in being HER pet. The brontosaurus would like a pet of his own…namely Lulu! Has she met her match? Best for Ages 4-9.
