CUSTOMER REVIEWS: "I just wanted to share what a wonderful time our family has had exploring your guided story hikes! We have come to Simsbury twice from Fairfield, along with our friends, solely to do your Fairy Finding Adventure and Barbarian Trecking Adventure and we were not disappointed even after the hour and a half drives! Our children range in ages from 12 to 8 and every one of them was completely enraptured in the story and finding the next landmark! The books were so easy to follow with every detail clearly pictured and described. The creativity of the stories interlacing with the nature trails was awesome! Thank you for all the effort you put into this and making for some great adventures for our families during this pandemic!" -- Taren C. & Mary J.
