Story Land

850 NH Route 16 · Glen, NH

Why you should go…

Story Land is a 35-acre fairy tale park in Glen that opened in 1954 and is meant for children up to their pre-teen years. Rides and play areas are themed to storybook tales, and the Huff Puff & Whistle Railroad gives you a whistle-stop tour of the whole park. The park also has Roar-O-Saurus, a wooden roller coaster. Daniel Tiger and Katerina Kittycat star in a show at the Farm Follies Theater, and Happy Hauntings brings Halloween fun in the fall.

Good to know

General attractions guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Book the time slot, not just the ticket

    Timed entry is now the norm at big-draw attractions, and online tickets are often cheaper than the gate.

  • Grab the daily schedule on arrival

    Feeding times, keeper talks, and shows run on a posted timetable that changes day to day.

  • The first hour is the quietest

    Queues build through late morning and peak after lunch, so an early start buys you the shortest waits.

  • Budget past the ticket price

    Parking, lockers, strollers, and food inside the gates are common extras worth planning for.
