I took my nieces to Storyland which is located in
Jackson, NH. I went as a child and so much loved the place as it is close to
home but also has great rides and adventures for kids. You can stop by Humpty
Dumpty, Cinderella’s Tea Room, Swan Boats, Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard, Polar Coaster
and More. Cool Off with Oceans of Fun Sprayground which is unique water play area where families explore in and around
our yellow submarine and all its crazy components. From a fine mist to totally
soaked, you control how wet you'd like to get! Enjoy foods from Miss
Muffet’s Market, Sandwich Oasis, Dutch Village Pavilion and more.
My Opinion: I still love Storyland today and will
continue to bring my nieces, nephews and other kids for future generations. I
love the new things then when I had last been and this year the Roar O’ Saurus
which is a roller coaster. So stop by next time you are in the New Hampshire
area and check it out. I need to go back as it was very crowded and I was
unable to see everything this time around.

About
Storyland: Once upon a time, in the far off land
of Germany, Bob and Ruth Morrell were surprised by a knock at their door. They
were not expecting visitors. Bob and Ruth, husband and wife from North Conway,
New Hampshire, were living in Europe at the invitation of the US Army. A
veteran of the famed 10th Mountain Division of skiing soldiers in World War II,
Bob had been summoned back to serve during the Korean Conflict. When they opened the door they were
greeted by a stranger, an old woman who introduced herself as Frau Edith Von
Arps. She was accompanied by several small characters that needed no
introduction, dolls she had made based on classic children’s fairy tales. She
was going door to door, selling the dolls. Old woman sold them more than 25 dolls
in the weeks before they returned home. She also planted a suggestion, which
turned into an idea, which grew into a business, which blossomed into a life’s
work and a legacy.
Her
suggestion was that Bob and Ruth build a small village around her dolls. The
Morrell’s had the idea to create a village of more than just dolls, a village
where storybook animals could live and where storybook characters could come to
life. The idea grew into a business, as Bob and Ruth added plans for rides and
play areas, to create a place where young families could play and have fun and
live happily for at least a day or longer.
They
bought some affordable land in Glen, acreage that the previous owner said
wouldn’t even make a decent pasture. With some local help, they built a handful
of colorful buildings and characters, and opened for business in 1954, the same
year that the opening of Disneyland forever changed amusement parks.
A
few good years were followed by a few not-so-good years, as the economy slowed
throughout the country. The fledgling park was truly a risky business venture,
and local bankers shied away from holding a mortgage on the home of the three
bears. Through perseverance, hard work, ingenuity, and continuous reinvestment
in the park, Story Land has survived and grown.
