Catering to the younger set, like my 2 and 1/2-year-old daughter, S, Story Land is a park built on nursery rhymes and fairy tales. Humpty Dumpty greets you at the front gate, an old woman welcomes you into her shoe, and a pumpkin coach carries you to a castle where you can meet Cinderella herself. (The only catch with all of this is facing the woeful reminder that you haven't exposed your children to enough of these classic tales... I think S was hoping Dora was waiting in that castle.)
The rides are perfect for toddlers and preschoolers, and parents can join on almost all of them. And really, isn't getting to relive one's childhood by riding the antique cars one of the best parts about being a parent? (Or maybe I'm just swayed by the giant goofy grin my husband wore all day.)
Anyway, if you're in the New England area and considering a trip to Story Land, I have a few tips to share:
Doubtful expression aside, S loved Story Land in the rain. |
2) Bring a stroller or pack. Story Land is surprisingly spread out, and we covered some ground. Since S still often
3) Hope for rain. Yes, you heard me. We hit Story Land on a cold, rainy weekend and while that sometimes made for a shivering toddler, it wasn't anything a little hot chocolate couldn't fix. The rain meant we practically had the park to ourselves, and I'd take a little drizzle over standing in line with my fidgety daughter any day. S has even less patience than I do.
As we drove away from Story Land, bidding a final farewell to Humpty, S settled into her carseat and promptly passed out for her afternoon nap, which lasted the entire, blissfully quiet drive home--another benefit of visiting a park just one state over.
Take that, Disney.
Love it! I've heard of Story Land but never been myself. Sounds like a fun weekend. I'll recommend it to friends with tots.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this post! My son is close to your daughter's age and we just booked a trip for August. This makes me even more excited :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad! And I'm sure you guys will have a blast, rain or shine. =)
