Weeks ago I scheduled a day off from work to go on my 3 year olds field trip to Storybook Land. This would not only help out my wife since she would have the baby along but also allow me to spend the day with my son in a park that I have not been to since I was probably 7 or 8 years old. I had low expectations though. My thought was - it?s better than being at work
. Plus, I'd be getting a credit to boot.
Fortunately common sense prevailed when his teacher called our house at 7:15AM on Monday to let us know they are moving the trip to Tuesday due to the freak nor'easter. And even better was that my boss was cool enough to let me swap days (I was worried with already having Thursday and Friday off). So now we had awesome weather and an amazing day together.
So, my low expectations weren't warranted to say the least. This park has BIG TIME expanded from what I remember. I could only recall the freaky huge nursery rhyme things and the little houses here and there along with a few classic flat rides. I knew about Bubbles and was looking forward to the credit but even that exceeded expectations.
The park is very well maintained and had an outstanding collection of rides and themed elements. And while they seem to be reproducing Zamperla's left and right, even these rides were well themed and appropriately chosen. The only (literally only) downer of the day was the Turtle ride being down as it was being completely rehabbed. Otherwise, we did every single ride and attraction.
Onto the pictures
Bubbles! Lots of fun, two laps and airtime!
Great Adventure should have a train like this
For some reason, this one felt more fun
Oh well
Maybe next time
OMG WHAT ARE THEY BUILDING NEXT!!!!
The park is VERY pretty with lots of trees
This bathroom was nicer than Disney Worlds and you could sit and pray to boot!
Or you could pray in the actual chapel
Little details like this are why we loved it so much
Don't do it Kyle! Yes, that is real ice
The kids loved running in and out of things like this
Again, nicely themed
They have animals to! Although sadly one cage was damaged badly by the storm the day before
GIVE ME THE CAMERA
Kyle didn't like this ride but Faith did lol
They had some amazing antiques
Scary stuff like this is all I could recall from my childhood at the park
And to end....
Thanks for reading
It looks like we'll be going back at Christmas time now every year
