Welcome to Valley of the Moon
Kindness is the Real Magic
Valley of the Moon is an enchanted historic fairyland that promotes kindness and imagination. A unique artist-created environment, Valley of the Moon offers a variety of experiences including tours, theatrical performances, and private events. Valley of the Moon turned 100 years old in 2023 and is a 501(c)3 nonprofit formally incorporated in 1945 to foster religious tolerance and brotherly love for all mankind, regardless of race, creed, or color.
We are open the first Saturday of each month for a family-friendly event and the third Sunday for docent-led tours. We are also open for our plays and special events. Private access can be arranged for a fee.
We do NOT have daily open hours. Our public access is largely dependent on our volunteer work force so if you would like to see Valley of the Moon open more frequently, consider volunteering or donating to make it happen!

Mudfest and Restoration Exploration
Saturday, March 29⋅1:00 – 3:00pm
Free!
Mudfest is a fun opportunity for children and adults to participate in hands-on preservation work. A repaired wall in Troglodyte Cavern needs a rustic finish that doesn't look anything like a professional drywaller's neatly troweled patterns. Our solution? You! This is literally a hands-on preservation project. We put mud in your gloved hands and you make history by applying it to a century-old building. This will also be a chance to explore the exciting next steps for repair of the Wizard's Tower. If you think preservation and history are boring, we aim to change your mind at this event.
