The magic of imagination has evolved between the domain of literature and the domain of reality. Following developments in cinema to make the fairy animated and realistic, the fairy has found its place in reality and rocks children and adults alike within its board games and above all, its amusement parks.

Among the “classic” board games inspired by fantasy, we can cite Elixir (1993) and Once Upon a Time (1993), which are inspired by the world of fairy tales, or even Citadelles (2000) which offers to build medieval fantasy cities.
Among the amusement parks, some offer attractions linked to the Disney universe and inspired by fairy tales. Other theme parks around the world are also dedicated to fantasy universes:
