Storybook Island is an admission-free children’s theme park with a mission to inspire imagination and provide fun and education for children and families. All through the park there are sets, statues, playhouses, and rides based on beloved characters from fables, nursery rhymes, and fairy tales. It is an ideal place to bring children and young teens; even the under-five set can play in the area dedicated to the very young.

There is a lovely carousel, a beautifully maintained miniature railroad to ride on, and benches and shade for weary park-goers. Storybook Island has a small snack bar, although picnickers are welcome, and there is also a gift shop selling souvenirs. The park is open from Memorial Day weekend until Labor Day, and there are daily shows in its theater.
