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!

Spring Adventure Show: Bash of the Titans/Perseus and the Gorgon
Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays in April
6:00 – 8:00pm
Adults $10; youth $5; members and small children free.
Medusa is a vile creature who delights in turning people to stone with a piercing gaze, and Perseus is the hero destined to slay the gorgon! Or at least that’s what the goddess Athena and a petulant king would have him believe. Perseus, however, isn’t so sure. Even when Ari, an acolyte of Athena, assures him that the command is just and ushers him along on his quest, he can’t help wondering whether this is really the right thing to do. Will Perseus kill Medusa? Or will he find a different solution? Find out when you join Perseus and Ari this spring at Valley of the Moon to experience this farcical take on a Greek classic!
Show is a moving adventure that travels around our two acre park of walking paths. Adventure plays leave the gate every half hour at 6:00, 6:30, 7:00, 7:30, and 8:00. Show lasts approximately one hour.
