Various Locations in Downtown Ann Arbor<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re scratching your head, wondering what a fairy door is, you’re not alone! Ann Arbor’s Fairy Doors installation is enchanting to discover for all ages. You’ll find these teeny six-inch doorways scattered near baseboards around town. Beginning in 2005, these doors started popping up around the city and still mysteriously pop up in unexpected places. Keep in mind that these fairies can be fickle so locations are prone to change on a whim. One door is consistently sighted at Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea and you may also have luck tracking down another one at Nicola’s Books! This activity is a blast for kiddos and can bring a bit of magic to an otherwise dreary day.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHyperion Coffee Company<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
