Colleen Moore's Fairy Castle
A miniature for the ages
Watch an ingenious mechanical show put on by a giant pinball rolling through Swiss scenery, triggering actions and sounds everywhere it goes. Once you start trying to predict what it will do next, you'll be hooked.
Over seven feet high and 15 feet wide, this massive pinball machine type known as a "flipper" contains surprises at every turn. The ball rolls through hotels, boats, ski lifts and even levitates a giant Toblerone bar. Kids love watching the frenetic yet easy-to-follow action. Tinkerers can appreciate the clever and upcycled engineering — the inventor made it out of salvaged scrap metal. And anyone can enjoy the one-of-a-kind show it puts on.
