Step Into a Fairytale

Regularly, the Witch's Hut at Kildonan Park welcomes visitors Thursdays through Mondays, from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

More Than Just Looks

The Witch's Hut isn't just a pretty face (or should we say, pointy hat?). Built in 1970 by the German community of Manitoba, it's a cultural landmark with a rich history. Unlike the gingerbread house from the fairytale, the Witch's Hut features a one-of-a-kind round design that's guaranteed to leave you enchanted.

A World of Wonder Awaits

Stepping inside the hut is like stepping right into the world of Hansel and Gretel. Enchanting illustrations and captivating displays bring the story to life, sparking the imagination of visitors of all ages. It's a fantastic place to foster a love for storytelling and fairytales.

The Heart of Fairytale Fun

The magic doesn't stop there! The Witch's Hut is also the heart of the annual Fairy Tales Festival, a vibrant community event that celebrates the power of storytelling.

Planning Your Visit

Before you head out on your adventure, a quick online search can help you confirm any changes in opening hours or special events. After all, you wouldn't want the witch to be unexpectedly away on a broomstick ride!

The Perfect Fairytale Escape

The Witch's Hut at Kildonan Park is your gateway to a captivating fairytale experience. It's a place where imagination thrives, and everyone is welcome to join the adventure. So, if you find yourself in Winnipeg, don't miss this enchanting gem!
