One of the day trips we've taken with our visiting family was to Story Land, a fabulous family attraction located in the White Mountains of northern New Hampshire. This is a beautifully landscaped, well designed place where a family could very easily spend an entire day having nonstop fun. In fact, we did just that, arriving before they opened and leaving after the park had closed for the day! I will try and post a few pictures and add some quick captions just to give you a flavor of our trip. If you would like to see more, there are some great photos on the Story Land site here:

Hope you have enjoyed this peek at our visit to Story Land! There is much, much more to it than this, but I thought I would share just a few of the simple pictures I took. If you ever get the chance to visit here with your family, why not plan to do so? It is well worth the trip and, in our experience anyway, is enjoyed by adults and teens just as much as by children!
How fun!! It reminds me of Santa Claus Land in Indiana. We took our children there when they were small and it was the perfect park for little ones.
ReplyDeleteA simpler much less hectic experience than many theme parks. I enjoyed seeing some new to me rides and some old faithfuls. Looks as if you had perfect weather for enjoying the day.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Arlene and Vee!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is a lovely park indeed. In my family, teens and adults have enjoyed this park every bit as much as younger kids. There are some areas which are just perfect for the very little ones, and my daughters who have taken nursing babies to Story Land have been so pleased with the special areas set aside for nursing mothers. Even though the park is under new ownership in the past few years, the flavor of the place remains and nothing iconic has been changed. It's just a fun, beautiful, well-run place that families can really enjoy together!
The weather was indeed perfect. Not too hot, not too cool to enjoy the water rides. A few raindrops in the afternoon, but only a few!
