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!
