Want to get up close and personal with life-like and life-size unicorns? Here’s your chance.
Created and developed by parents Patrick and Lauren Mines, "Unicorn World" is a family-friendly event featuring animatronic unicorns, enchanted forests and unicorn-themed activities.
"With two young children and a third on the way, we’ve been to our share of family-focused events and entertainment," Lauren Mines shared in a statement to FOX Television Stations. "After so many conversations on the car rides home about what we would do differently or what we wished had been available, we finally said, ‘We’re entrepreneurs. We can do this!’ Then we thought about what would be fun and engaging and enchanting for kids – and wasn’t already in existence – and that led us straight to unicorns."
Other experiences include unicorn bounce houses, rides, face painting and professional photos. For families with very young children, a special section is available for babies and toddlers under 2 years old.

"To be honest, everything fell into place after that: it felt magical and meant to be and so many people of different ages and backgrounds shared their excitement. And we just created the event we knew we’d love to go to, and we’re honored and thrilled that so many people feel the same!," Mines continued.
