Hey, its fun and free. I hope you give a donation though, to help keep it open. They do have play equipment & lots of characters to take your pictures with. Its actually fairly big so bring your wagon or stroller. Train rides too. Of your kids are over 7 or 8, they will be less impressed. Take them to... More

This a nonprofit organization. It is targeted to the toddler to preteen crowd, and is loved by children, parents and grandparents. It has large storybook characters for the children to visit. They will... More

This is a FABULOUS FREE attraction. I went there as a child, have taken my kids and now my grandkids. It has always been a much loved outing for my family. Don't miss this if you have kids or are a kid at heart! More

We always stopped at Storybook Island when I was a child and are now doing the same with our son. I always look forward to stopping here as it takes you back to your childhood! More

Storybook island is great... but it's the most wonderful place at Christmas when they put up all the lights. It's pretty magical for the kids I think. More

took my niece on a visit last summer and she enjoyed it as much as my kids did when they were little. Honestly, who can complain about a free park. It is just too cute More

This is a large park based on story book characters, this park is free but they do ask for a donation when you leave. I guess if your kids have a great time, a donation is in order. They have a cute little store and playground at the end. Be sure to take your camera for plenty of cute photo... More
