Once Upon a Tea

The Emerald City Tea Party

Follow the yellow brick road to Ford House’s Once Upon a Tea: Emerald City Tea Party, an immersive children’s tea set in the beautifully themed Lake Shore Room. Overlooking the picturesque Ford Cove, this special tea party transports you to the magical Emerald City from The Wizard of Oz. With its vibrant, themed decor, the room will be transformed into a glittering wonderland straight from Dorothy’s journey.

Dorothy and her friends from Oz will be on hand to mingle with guests, share magical moments, and pose for memorable photos. Relax and enjoy a delightful selection of kid-friendly pastries and tasty morsels* while sipping tea or juice and enjoying the stunning lake views.

It’s a tea party like no other—perfect for young adventurers and their families—where the enchanting world of Oz comes to life, and every guest feels like a friend of Dorothy!
