The clever Tinkerbell saves Peter’s life so he can have one last sword-swinging, high-flying adventure with his arch nemesis, Captain Hook. Don’t miss Peter and the Darling children as they fly into Neverland!

All audience members are invited to the “Adventure Through Neverland” Event immediately after the performance, where they can meet and greet the cast with their treasure map, FREE of charge!
