Bob (New England Camper) has written a great new review for Storyland. Thanks Bob!
Storyland is located in Glen, NH, a short drive from North Conway, NH. Storyland is opened from 9am to 6pm daily. The cost is $20 for ages 3 and above. Parking is free.
The grounds and landscaping are superb, beautiful, and very clean. There are flowers neatly arranged everywhere and neat little ponds in many places. There is plenty of places to sit for those who do not care to go on the rides. The staff is very friendly and play the happy role that Storyland requires.
This park offers about 20 themed rides, which are mainly geared for young kids. Children that are under 48”, on many rides need to be accompanied by an adult. Guests of a larger size many have difficulty getting into some of the rides. Unfortunately on a busy day in the summer, you can wait up to 15 to 30 minutes to get on many of the rides. The train ride is very nice and takes you on a nice tour to 3 different sections in the park (with train stops along the way).
There are several gift shops in the park including a “Lets Pretend Imagination” shop where you can get some really neat ideas for Halloween. There are several food vendors in the park. Compared to other theme parks the prices here are VERY reasonable. Storyland also allows you to bring a picnic lunch into the park. We enjoyed our picnic lunch on the grass and watch the Swan and Pirate boats go by. There are many different shows in the park at different times. We didn’t go to any. The one thing this park seems to be missing is games. We only found 1 game in the “Western” section of the park.
Their website states that this park is geared for ages 2-12, however the upper limit for most kids may be 9 years old (especially if they have been to other theme parks such as Six Flags and Hershey Park). My 5 year old had the best time, my 8 year old didn’t like some of the rides but there was a few that he really enjoyed (Polar Coaster). My 15 year old just sat around listening to her walkman.
The cost per person $20 is well worth it for the 3-9 crowd. For non-riding adults and teens it is definitely not worth the value.
