Story Land's location in the White Mountains means that green space, trees, and scenic views are important features of the park, which sits on 35 acres of hilly terrain. The rides and attractions are built into the natural features of the landscape. And while it seems there's always something new, you'll also find the old favorites that have been here since they opened in 1954.

There are several rides & amusements at this Fairy Tale themed park geared for younger children, including a sea exploration area with a large sub for kids to walk in, water canons & spraying 'coral reefs'. There is also a train that takes you around the park for sight seeing or resting tired feet!

The rides generally fit an adult & child and the landscaping & gardens are beautiful. There is a large open air style cafeteria with good food (and typical theme park pricing). A great gift shop carrying a large selection of costumes, among many other things. A long drive from Massachusetts, but worth it.

Story Land Play Areas:
A talking treehouse, Peter Pumpkineater's House, a sandcastle maze, a yellow submarine, the Loopy Lab, and so many more. Story Land has created some of the most memorable play areas you can imagine. You can find out about a few of them below.

Familiar Characters
Mother Goose, the Old Woman Who Lives in a Shoe, Cinderella, Three Little Pigs, Heidi's Grandfather, and other friendly storybook characters spend their summers at Story Land and love to greet our guests.

Misting Tents, Tree Sculptures, Mamas Houses:
You'll find misting tents to cool off quickly on a warm day. Some of the trees grew a little too old to hold their branches safely, so they were turned into works of art as tree sculptures. For nursing mothers you'll find Mama's Houses, quiet areas with rocking chairs for some privacy.

Uniquely Themed Rides:
A ride in a pumpkin coach, an antique car, or a pirate ship can turn into a lifelong memory for a young child. Story Land's 20 rides generally are designed for parents and children to enjoy together. We encourage parents to join their children wherever possible to help ensure that everyone rides safely.

View photos and descriptions of each ride here. Just click on each name for details and guidelines specific to each ride.
