The park was opened on June 1st 1961 to much fanfare with advertisements appearing in multiple newspapapers in the New York area, The park would continue operating normally and adding new attractions until 1995, When Edgerton Real Estate that owned the park got caught price-fixing and other anticompetitive practices to inflate their sales which in the resulted in the company selling off its assets, one of which was Fairytale Woods who when the company couldn't find a buyer decided to abandon the entire property with the park closing on August 28th 1995.
