The Enchanted Forest, Monashee Mountains (B.C.)
For every child (or adult) who has ever dreamed of fairies, castles or magical woods, the Enchanted Forest near Revelstoke is a must-see. Originally founded in the 1950s as the retirement project of artist Doris Needham and her husband Ernest, the forest boasts more than 350 hand-carved and painted figurines plus charming, hobbit-sized houses for kids to explore. It’s also home to the province’s tallest treehouse.
