Bumblewood is family fun at its finest. Visitors of all ages will delight in a walk in the woods and exploration of the beautiful and meticulously crafted fairy houses and shops on display.

See Random Acts of Silliness’ website to learn more.

Do you want to be a Friend of the Fairies?

Random Acts of Silliness is now signing up Friends of the Fairies (FoFs) to volunteer at Bumblewood Thicket!

They’re looking for friendly folks to serve as ambassadors at the fairy village: greeting visitors, sprinkling pixie dust, and answering questions. No prior experience, magical skills, or knowledge of fairies is required, just a lot of enthusiasm and a sense of whimsy.

Benefits of FoFing may include elevated joy levels, spontaneous giggles, and increased awe and wonder.

Learn more and sign up for the required training.

Bumblewood Thicket is produced by Random Acts of Silliness in partnership with Gallatin Valley Land Trust and Bozeman Parks & Recreation, with generous support from Heyday and OSM Construction.
