You’ll feel like a kid again when you discover all the wonder and nostalgia Storybook Land in New Jersey has to offer.

Land emphasis is on good clean family fun and entertainment,

Storybook Land in New Jersey first opened its gates in 1955, and is owned and operated by the Fricano family, the amusement park’s original owners. With rides ranging from the Turtle Twirl, to the Happy Dragon, Whirley Bug, Rockin’ Tug, Bigfoot, and Rock Spin Roll, the park has a ride perfect for every young one in your life.
When visiting Storybook Land keep in mind that this park is geared toward young kids, and is not a theme park intended to compete with larger amusement parks offering death-defying rocket ship or roller-coaster rides. Rather Storybook Land is intended for young kids interested in good, clean, safe fun -- the kind that won’t leave Mom or Dad dizzy and drunk with nausea after one theme park ride. This park can be perfect for grandparents as well, who can no longer stomach the heart-dropping effects of the tilt-a-whirl or zero-gravity machine.
Storybook Land offers free parking for park visitors
and also offers a variety of special events throughout
the season. They offer a Trick or Treat Weekend for Halloween
in October and a grand arrival by Mr. & Mrs. Santa Claus
in November, among others. Purchase your tickets in advance
at the Storybook Land in New Jersey early ticket sale
(Feb. 5th - March 5th). If you buy
3 park tickets, you get one free.
