Happy Valley
Happy Valley
Happy Valley is situated on Port Elizabeth's main beachfront, a short distance from the popular Humewood Beach, and displays a magical wonderland of amazing lights and well known children's characters. Happy Valley is located in a natural valley, which has the Shark River running through it. The river was once the main water supply for Port Elizabeth, though today sadly it is nothing more than a small artificial stream.
Happy Valley experienced great difficulties during the great flood of 1968,
when most of its contents were washed out to sea. Fortunately the popular Port
Elizabeth attraction was soon rebuilt to its present charming status, and now
serves as brilliant place for relaxed strolls and pleasant family picnics in the
shade of trees.
During the holiday seasons, the walk through garden with landscaped lawns, shady
trees, lily ponds and trickling water features, is lit up with magnificent
displays of colourful lights and an assortment of popular characters such as
Winnie the Pooh and Peter Pan, Shrek and Harry Potter. In between visitors find
leprechauns, three blind mice, Superman and a wide variety of others. There are
also lights in the shape of animals and coloured lights which provide an
ambience against the surrounding vegetation.
Entrance into Happy Valley is free of charge.
