While Storyland was interesting and inexpensive, it needed some maintenance and upkeep. The trip was a success and my daughter had fun at the various play structures, but a lot of things were broken or in bad shape. I look forward to when they update this park! read more

Cute place. This part of City Park is not free, but for a mere $6 per person, you and your entourage can enjoy some small scenes that will take you back to the times of fairy tales and nursery rhymes. My kids enjoyed walking around the very interactive scenes. Although they have a weekend amusement park, it wasn't open on the Tuesday we were at City Park. However, my kids didn't know any better and had a lot of fun telling me the stories the scenes corresponded to. It's a fun place to spend an hour. read more

This little park was so sweet! It was about a 5-10 minute walk from the children's museum and made a lovely combo for a day with kids in NOLA. Our kids were 8 & 10, and while I think overall Storyland is aimed at kids in the 4-6 age range, our kids were very happy there and had a LOT of fun discovering everything. Our 10 yo in particular was OBSESSED with the remote control pirate ships. I'm not sure if this is how it always is, but when we were there, they were pay-to-play, but someone had loaded them up with tons of credits so everyone was playing for free. My 8yo loved the Jack & the Beanstalk part -- you can climb REALLY high and then go down one of the longest tunnel slides I've ever seen. The place isn't huge, but it's laid out in such a way that it feels bigger than it is. Everything is based on a fairy tale. That said, there are some components (primarily the interactive components that have a tech/electrical element) that were broken and out of service (and seemed like they'd been that way for a long time). If those were fixed, I think this would be a 5-star place! read more

After paying to visit the nearby amusement park, there was a gate that led to Storyland. It's normally $6 per person. The concept is fun with many different children book-themed areas like a climbing structure leading to a giant slide that's Jack and the Beanstalk. Funny mirrors are part of the Alice in Wonderland section. Despite a fun theme, it's a little rundown and there's not enough to do to keep kids engaged for a long time. If it was free, it's fine, but not for $6. There are restrooms so that's a plus. read more

Our 20 month old daughter loved Storyland! She led us all around the park and then we back tracked to some of her favorite scenes. She loved Cinderella's pumpkin carriage and the big white horse that it is hitched to. She also thought the whale was pretty cool. We would definitely return with her if we are back in New Orleans. read more

Such a cute place, especially for the 4-8 yrs old subset. Adorable and plenty to do. Reminds des were fun, especially for my girl who likes to play it safe- lots of nice options! read more

It was so cute. Went with our 3 yo and she loved it. We rode the trolley from canal, which was lovely and cool (with the AC), then walked to the new cafe du Monde in the park. It's close to Storyland. Made for a fun little morning. read more

Storyland - Storyland - Amusement Parks Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I didn't realize there was so much to do here. We probably wanted to go to the theme park but it was closed. So we decided to come here. I was with a preteen and a 5 year old and both enjoyed their time here. Of course the 5 year old did not want to leave. I had to bribe her to leave. I climbed up the jack and the beanstalk experience because the 5 year old was afraid to do it alone. It was so high up when I finally made it to the top. I can definitely see why kids don't want to leave this place . I arrived pretty early and we were some of the few people there. An hour in the place was packed. It's an inexpensive good time for the kiddos read more

Storyland - Amusement Parks Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Such a fun place to visit to with little ones and also nostalgic for the adults. We were visiting from Texas and wanted a kid friendly attraction to visit while in town. read more

This is truly a must for visitors to New Orleans when traveling with young children. It's not a lot at the particular story land park however the Childress museum is within walking distance amount a playground & an amusement park which I'm told is only open on weekends. Nice nostalgic storybook & I have to mention that it's geared to younger children also read more

Storyland - Amusement Parks Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Cool park to visit for something to do. A lot of fictional story statue characters from childhood books.

Supposedly this place is for kids, but my group of 5 adult women aged 20 - 56 had a blast taking pictures all over this park (or maybe that was just me). The price is right and the selfie and other picture taking opportunities are off the charts. Highly recommend for the fun. It helps if your adult kids are imaginative and fun. read more

Great place for littles to come play! I read many reviews that this place would only be enjoyed by toddler age children. My girls are 8 and 10 and they absolutely loved the place! We stayed for about an hour, but honestly could've stayed longer than that. It's six dollars to get in and was so worth it for us! read more

A Mississippi/Louisiana childhood really isn't complete without a few visits to Storyland in City Park. I loved visiting here as a child and enjoy taking my daughter and niece. Storyland let's you wander through several nursery rhyme scenes, stop for pics, play on, around, under the props, and the kids can climb the jungle gym and slide down Paul Bunyan's curly slide! My littles loved this place at 4 years old, 7, and all the way up through 12-13 years old. Oh! They book rooms for birthday parties, too! Definitely worth a stop as you're strolling, biking, driving through City Park. read more

Storyland - Must visit - Amusement Parks Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

My 2 year old had a lot fun. We went on a weekday so it was almost empty. A lot of available parking. Security at the front desk was very friendly. We spent about 2 hours total here since our toddler want to go through the entire park twice and the ticket cost was pretty cheap. Definitely worth going! read more

It's good for the kids! As adults you can go but it's mostly for the kids imagination. Cool outing for the kids !

It's a cool park for younger kids. The park was cool but it's really only for young kids. Probably six maybe seven years and younger. They had sanitizer at the start and at the jack and beanstalk attraction. If you have little kids I recommend going there. read more

We had two four year olds and some time on our hands so we decided to check this place out. It's well worth the $4 admission price in my opinion. It's fully gated and everything is really well spaced out. They work with the trees and space that they have which I love. It was really fun watching the kids explore everything and talking about the stories. The photo opportunities were endless, we especially loved the whale and the pirate ship. The dragon slide was a really cool addition as well. I wish more parks had fun imaginative pieces worked in. It's small but you can spend about an hour exploring and playing, probably more if you visit the attached amusement park. It's a unique little place that's definitely worth checking out if you have little ones or if you're just young at heart. read more

Such a wonderful place to spend a few hours. The massive trees provide shade and a bit of coverage, as well as provide the setting with a magical feel! We were impressed with the amount of activities and how unique each were! For example, the Big Bad Wolf Voice Speaker will project your 'Little One's' voice louder when reading the story of "The Three Little Pigs!" Or, the CandyLand Gingerbread House with an interactive game to play! So much fun! We would suggest bringing a packed lunch, or snack and drink to prolong your stay. We even packed small card games to play while taking a break under a large tree, from all the activities! Overall, StoryLand was so worth the $5 entry charge and provided multiple hours of outdoor interactive enjoyment for our 4 year old and family! We highly recommend this fun and unique park! read more

Some of my fondest early memories are of a second grade field-trip to Storyland back in the 1970s. This place has been here FOREVER!! Many generations of New Orleanian children have climbed on the pirate ship, walked through the crooked house, slid down the dragon slide and enjoyed living in the fairy tale inspired park of Storyland. Any time I have children visiting I love to take them here and I think they love me for it!! read more

I should hard sell Storyland to folks with kids since it turns out they kept 2 of my nieces and my nephew employed all summer. They "performed" as various characters on Saturday afternoon. Who knew? (I know bad aunt) Storyland is really a magical place for little kids. read more

I know this park is mostly for the enjoyment of kids, but as an adult, I think it's pretty cool! Having your favorite storybook characters brought to life size, is pretty neat! And yes, I took my turn on the giant dragon slide! It's fun walking through the park and seeing the different stories. You can go in the whale that swallowed pinnacho. Get on Peter Pans ship. Visit the houses of the three little pigs. Visit Cinderellas pumpkin coach. And many others! It's a cute little park! read more

Weekend in NOLA for Aquarium & Zoo with 7 yr grand daughter who loves to read. Went Saturday morning an hour before it opened. Parking was busy but not crazy yet & she enjoyed the playground. She loved Storyland, then we went to the little amusement park. We stayed past lunchtime but it was a beautiful morning! She wanted to go back thru story land for the Dragon slide and Candyland. Very busy when we left but definitely the highlight of our girls weekend! read more

We had a lot of fun here! Great place if the weather is nice. The lady on the boat is slightly risqué and the wolf/grandma from Little Red Riding Hood is mildly terrifying. Still I would say it's great for toddlers and younger children. I could see it being less exciting for older children. They have a lot to do for my toddler's age range and I would say the price is super reasonable. All in all a good experience. read more

This is truly the stuff of my childhood dreams. I love love love this area, even as an adult. Though it may be odd for an adult to come. Alone. Well, as you can see from my pictures, I was not really alone, I had my gnome. The gnome loves to see all of the sights! I do wish I could have a birthday party here (for myself of course)! This is a cool place in City Park, and great for the kiddos. I did come with a friend who brought her 4 year old son, and he loved it. I daresay his favorite was the dragon slide where the slide was fire. Of course, it was fake fire, but it leads to being creative. This isn't your typical playground, but it is so much fun! You can purchase entry into the Storyland alone, or the other amusement park alone, or the botanical gardens, or any combination together or separate, which can lead to a day long fun time for all involved. In the Storyland part itself, there is no concession stand, and you have to go in where you purchase the entry to use the restroom. I do not suggest going quail hunting here, as there are small children here and that could lead to legal issues to last a lifetime. Come, have fun. Go have beignets at Morning Call before or after for a nice sugar high. read more

If I was just reviewing for myself, I wouldn't score it too high as it seems a bit run down and cheesy. But the kids love it and as many times as I take them, they never tire of it. Most of the structures are made for kids to climb on, over and under. The storybook themes add to the excitement and wonder of it. You can book birthday parties here and sometimes they do special events during the holidays. There are clean restrooms, snacks/drinks for purchase and plenty of free parking. read more

"Where childhood stories become life-size". My daughter went ape bananas over this place! I have to admit, it did shoot me back in time. Seeing the massive sculptures of the 3 little pigs and the 3 different houses they built was my fave part. I wish I could throw a birthday party there... not for my daughter, for me! I loved these stories as a child, so seeing a park dedicated to the characters in these stories gave me the warm and fuzzies. Reconnect with characters from your youth or introduce your child to them - Humpty Dumpty, Hook's pirate ship and get eaten by the whale (from Pinocchio). To sum it up in word would be fantasmical. Don't forget about the Carousel Gardens, too; it just adds to the whimsical experience! I have seen a birthday party take place here and it looks magical, so it could be something I will consider in the future! Wouldn't that be awesome? read more

Storyland is one of the places I will always love. As a child I never realized that City Park was anything but Storyland and the carousel. My brothers and I would run around like maniacs trying to figure out how Mother Hubbard fit so many children in a shoe. While we never did figure that out, we did have a great time. Fast forward to the present day and I still love it. Sure I can't run around like a maniac anymore, but my kids can, which makes the place even more special. The only complaints I have regarding Storyland are during large events such as Christmas in the Oaks. Apparently the more grown up kids think some of the Storyland attractions are great places to hang out and make out. I wish there was some sort of age restriction where only kids and parents could go, but I doubt that will happen. If you have kids, or want to be reminded of your youth, check out Storyland. read more

The water was really like really dirty around the statues and some were falling or already broken and the rides are closed but I can't really complain because the prices aren't as high for what you go for although I really don't recommend wasting your money here ether way. read more

I imagine Story Land was a delight back when it first opened. As it stands now, it's pretty wack. Those poor statues are so run down. Everything needs a fresh coat of paint. Actually, everything probably needs to be torn down so they can start from scratch. I took my four year old and she thought it was fun for about ten minutes. I think it would be cute for, say, a two year old. But any kid older and with color television will quickly get bored. read more

Storyland is so much fun. Great place for birthday parties too. They have rides for ages ranging from 3 and up. Get an unlimited pass and have a blast! read more

We had a really great time! We yelped for things to do as a family and Storyland came up. It's $4 entry into the main part where all the little playground type structures are. And you can walk around the entire park, but I do wish they had a combination price for entry and ride wristbands, which you have to purchase separately. The children's storybook play area is fun but definitely could do with a power wash and a fresh coat of paint. The rides were great fun for young to slightly older kids. My daughter is 7 and was worried about going on the Ladybug Rollercoaster because her first roller coaster experience wasn't that great. But all the rides are great for kids and we all had a wonderful time. We went on a Sunday so the lines for the rides weren't long at all. If you have kids ages 2-11 they should all have a lot of fun. read more

Storyland is a small park with lifesized nursery rhyme and fairytale characters. Kids can run around and climb on things, but there isn't much interaction going on here. There are two slides and a fire truck you can play on, but mostly you just walk around and look at the characters. It takes maybe 10 minutes to do the whole park. You have to check their website. Depending on the season, your $4 admission to Storyland also gets you in to the amusement park that's attached. We missed it by a week. If the amusement park had been included, it would have been worth it and I probably would have given 4-5 stars, but without the rides, this place is pretty lame. read more

Great place to have a birthday party - saw a party happening under the castle with kids dressed up princesses/superheroes for the occasion. The kids could also play in a somewhat contained location (Storyland), and the party hosts had given out toy swords - great idea! There's a fun dragon slide at the end too. If you're not having a birthday, Storyland is a decent value (cheap admission) that can keep a little one entertained for about an hour, not much more than that. read more

Great place to have a birthday party for the kiddos! There are many attractions for both kid and adult to enjoy throughout the park. Even though I have checked in via Storyland, I attended a birthday party within the Carousel Garden which provided many rides. Each party is held privately in different areas of the park which is nice. Depending on what party package you purchase, you get wrist bands for kids that want to ride the rides for an unlimited amount of time. Parties usually last about 2 hours, but all are welcome to ride throughout the day. The party assistant which was Elizabeth, was very attentive and provided all that the parent needed for the birthday party. She always had a smile on her face and seemed like she enjoyed her job which was a plus. The pizzas that were provided with the party came steaming hot and cheesy! The lemonade was also a big hit to accommodate everyone's thirst. I would definitely recommend anybody who would want to throw a party here and let them know that their child would really enjoy themselves! read more

Storyland - Amusement Parks Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Soooo cute! The whole park has so much to offer; story land is just one of the many things you can do here. Definitely go an you will find something fun to do! Storyland itself was super cute; amazing idea. But, I do have to say that they are due for some updates, some repairs.... Granted it is in a very shaded, garden type area, and this area has gotten rain every single day for months, and we are still in the middle of a pandemic and inflation, etc etc.... So I give them a pass but hopefully soon they can and will consider some updates as with all this wet and humid weather we have around here things will be falling apart. But I recommend by all means checking it out. So cute. And a great place for cute pictures! read more
