Fairytale Omaha Inc
About Fairytale Omaha Inc
Fairytale Omaha is built around a simple idea: imagination should not be out of reach for families in crisis. Private birthday parties, story times, and character visits help fund free and discounted experiences for children in hospitals, schools, libraries, and community spaces across Omaha and the surrounding area. That means a princess party or superhero visit can also help send a little wonder where it is needed most.
What sets Fairytale Omaha apart is that the entertainment is part of the giving. The same character visits that show up at private parties also help support outreach through Enchanted Tales, bringing free experiences to hospitals, schools, libraries, and community events. It is a playful model with a clear purpose: use celebration to reach children who may not otherwise get that kind of moment.
