Story Land offers flexibility and makes it easy for you to enjoy the day with your family your way. 

Bring in Food

Guests are welcome to bring their own food and non-alcoholic beverage into the park, allowing you to enjoy the food you please with no additional cost!

Travel With Your Wagon or Stroller, or Rent One of Theirs 

Whether you choose to bring a stroller of your own or rent one from the park, Story Land wants to make sure your travels are as comfortable as can be.

Come and Go From The Park

Forgot something in your car or have to leave the park for a few? No worries, because Story Land allows you to re enter the park and get right back to the magic! All you have to do is stop by the exit and get a hand stamp and you’re free to go so you can make the most of your day. 

Cashless Park

Story Land transitioned to cashless operations this season to ensure that your experience is smoother, safer, and more enjoyable! No more digging around to find change, all you have to do is swipe or tap at any shop in the park! Only have cash? Luckily there's a few conveniently located Cash to Card kiosks around the park that’s got you covered! It's a win-win!

Things You Might Not Know About Story Land!

Sensory Sensitive Accommodations 

One of the many reasons to appreciate Story Land is the fact they care about each and every customer! Many people (kids and adults) have sensory sensitivities, and Story Land understands. Right next to Old Mother Hubbard’s Storage Cupboard you’ll find a Calming Room. “A sensory sensitive environment for those who need a break.”

Pet Kennels

Story Land cares about our fur babies just as much as the kiddos! Bring your dog to the park and you will find a safe self-service kennel FREE of charge on a first come first serve basis.
