Such a cool idea. Very clean as well considering there were a lot of kids

The incorporation of nature here is amazing. It really is a fantasy land. It was a little rainy, so it cooled the summer heat for the day. Kids loved it. There is a giant climbing tower with a tall spiral slide and lots of story book scenes.

This pleased the tiny human. There was much for him to see and do.

Standing water everywhere we turned. So glad our kiddos wore their rain boots today even though it did not rain. Pinocchio and the whale, little red riding hood, and the three little pigs were not working at all. Jack and the beanstalk exhibit was not even open yet had a sign saying opening fall 2019. Has great potential if everything was taken care of and had better drainage for all of the standing water.

Such a cute playground for little ones. Took my 5-year-old and she had a great time.

This was a fun, kid friendly place in New Orleans. It was just re-done so everything was beautiful. The kids loved running off steam and there was so much to use there imagination with, including a real life Candyland board! They even had hand sanitizing stations set up along the way!

Cheap prices..fun for all ages..sanitizer stations being refilled as needed...great place for a fun filled family day...outside so weather permitting

Thus was aast minute find on our trip to aquarium for my daughter 2 year bday because our pool was closed in hotel due to covid. This was the coolest little park. Highly recommend

Good park that any kid can enjoy. The rides are closed due to COVID but that didnt affect my child too much.

Very cute, it does cost $4.00 to get in which isnt bad if youre there on the weekend during Spring or anytime during Summer because then the admission includes Carousel Park with rides. But it is a nice with picnic tables and Storybook Characters and slides to play on . Great picture opportunity and Putt Putt just across the parking lot as well as bike and paddle boat rentals across the park.

We happened to get there right as they opened so it was still relatively quiet. Its a cute interactive park for kids. lots of stuff for them to do!

The carousel and roller-coaster is not available except on weekends--very difficult for my autistic son to understand when they allowed it open for a school outing. Also the cashier for the tickets wasnt aware that the city park train also wasnt running and for some odd reason there was no water in the park around the attractions.

Really quaint and cute, great for kids under 8. The kids ran from spot to spot and wanted to try everything. The dragon slide was the by far the favorite. Some of the areas could be better maintained, but any issues were minor. improved water fountains would by my main suggestion. All the fairytale experiences were fun for smaller kiddos my older ones were itching to go into the amusement park area after 20 minutes or so...I am not sure why they charge for adults to go in...but oh well.

Only upon doing the research for the writing of this review did I realize that there is a separate entrance fee for Storyland from the entrance fee for the Botanical Garden... The entrance for Storyland is shared with the Botanical Garden (C.T. Parker Building). I really wish I was 5 again, and I can totally imagine the awe on my face seeing all these classic story book characters in real life. Well, I didnt really have to imagine, there were plenty of children running around me when I visited, and their smiling faces tells it all. I even saw a few teenagers in the park taking some less than savory pictures for their Instagram. I guess this place brings out the children for people of all ages.

A pretty fun but small place for kids to visit. The different exhibits are based on various disney stories/movies, so it would be beneficial if the child was familiar with the stories. Towards the back of the facility is a large slide (design of a dragon); typically popular each time I visit. There are also a few exhibits that kids can climb up/onto. The outdoor landscape provide some shade, so you wont be completely in the sun. There are also a few bench seating available and placed throughout the facility. If you look at and read each exhibit, you can probably walk through the whole place in 15 minutes. The main lobby (where you pay for admission) offers limited drinks and snacks for sale. One note to mention is that during my previous visit, some of the exhibits were broken (i.e. music area). Admission for kids is $5; adults is $10 (plus tax).

Its always a pleasure coming here, not only do the children get to play but at every station is a book with a sum of the story about the station, all the oldies like Humpty Dumpty, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and so on, my kids had a blast!

This place needs landscaping and a good deep clean. Has great potential, but sadly its not taken care of very well.

Great place to go with the family. Nice facilities. Kids love it. Not badly priced. City Park is right next to storyland, so you can take a break and come back. Tickets last all day.

We had a good time

Such a fun time here with my granddaughter

Amazing place! I dare to say that is even more awesome for adults since most of the characters are from old movies. I surely loved it.

Love story land. Kids have so much fun there. Dragon slide is a big hit. Nice place to attend a birthday party too. Worth the price of admission. While youre there take the train around the park. The canopy of live oaks over story land is beautiful and brings welcome shade in the summer.

Cute fairy tale characters! A mock space ship, the 3 little piggies and the mean wolf, and so much more. Everything is just beautiful and you can really let your imagination run free here.

My daughter liked it for about 30 minutes...wasnt sure why I had to pay to get in. Not something that can keep the kids busy for very long but the concept was cool. Be warned the dragon slide is very fast!

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!

Beyond poor in professionalism. Says it’s open till 5pm and we drove in from Houston. They decided to close today at 4pm. Wouldn’t recommend this lack of consideration for people

This was as a great place to spend a few hours with our young daughters. We loved the Chihuly piece outside.

Great for kids and adults. Good for early readers that want to explore and burn off energy.

Decent for a city like NOLA.

We went to storyland/botanical garden in the winter, the amusement rides were closed, the advertised mini-train, which runs the loop in the park was shut down, the historic train gardens inside the botanical garden, which requires an entrance fee were not running. the gardens themselves we under the weather from the frost, understandable, but attendant did not bring that to our attention before paying our admission fee. my toddler had a nice time running around the storyland playground. i wish there was more of an attempt to update via social media or website news what is running and what is not in the park.

It definitely for younger kiddos but they enjoyed it.

Recently remodeled! Fun activities for kids to do and read about.

Small but a great day with the kids grandkids

Great fun for the family

Great for small active children to run around and great place for cool photos with kids. Cheap entry but hot as hell in summer . Beer and wine for adults to purchase cant beat that .

Lots of potential, but poorly maintained. Trash everywhere and many of the story exhibits were broken or not functioning properly. Ticket booth empolyees were rude

Great day. Shared a piece of my childhood with my granddaughter

The renovations are awesome and its a really great fun place for kids of all ages

What is this place? I guess nostalgia goes a long ways. For an outsider, this place was creepy, poorly maintained, and had little to offer. There is not really much to do once you wander through, see all the cute/odd fairy tale displays, and go down the dragon slide a few times.

The kids had a lot of fun! We were thankful the gentleman let us in even though we were cutting it close to closing. The kids had fun & its in a beautiful park.

Great place to visit if you have kids! Beautiful and fun atmosphere. Ride the Musical Train, it was so fun! My youngest son loved It! Plus hear songs about City Park

Nostalgically charming and just the right size for young children. The carousel is a classic; beautifully restored and surprisingly fast (hold on tight to little ones). The grounds are shady and perfect for a picnic. Storyland is wonderful place to bring your kids and their grandparents. All that and they serve craft beer too!

Fun playground for kids. $4 to enter and play! Shaded playground for those hot summer days

I never heard about this place until my daughter was invited to a birthday party here. I was truly impressed from the moment we walked in. Its a 2 year olds dream! There was plenty for her to do despite her not being the correct height to ride some of the larger rides. The staff seemed pretty helpful and the park was very clean. Will definitely be back!

Fun for the kids

I remember going here every weekend when I was a child. I lived right down the street from here at 523 n. Hennessy before Katrina.

Great prices and my kids loved this place! They had some great rides for adults and older kids and some good ones you can ride with your kids. We didnt go to the storyland part with the slide but we did all the rides and games. The train ride shows you a lot of beautiful scenery. They also have beer and wine there and they offer birthday party packages that are really over priced in my opinion.

I love this place! Ive brought my students over the years.... Ive also taken my little nieces and nephew and they LOVED it!!! They knew the story characters and also enjoyed the play!

We had so much fun here! Must for small children.

Great place for kids and they excellent food plus you’ll never be bored.

This is a lovely place to bring children. It has been restored and maintained beautifully. I played there as a child, and brought my daughter, now 37 years old there as well. I wish it were still free, and also the train ride, but the price pays for the upkeep, and it had gotten worn down in past years. All of City Park has undergone a fantastic restoration.

It is not as good looking as in the pictures. The website makes it seem bigger with more attractions. With that being said, the rides were closed because of off season. It was nice, fun for children and had a train ride that she loved.

A unique experience in the beautiful city park. Really neat displays that reference different nursery rhymes and kids tales. Very cute, lots of fun picture opportunities.Highlights were the different houses the kids could explore, the ship with wheel that turns, and the giant whale mouth you can walk into.Couple of critiques: the lady at the entrance we paid was not very pleasent. It always surprises me to see that at kid-centric attractions, when the staff looks miserable or bored. Very unhelpful when asking about how the train works, as though I was inconveniencing her by asking a question.Also, the slides. There are two, a big dragon slide and a smaller one. Both are too steep for their respective ages and dont have enough of a lip for the kids to slow down after they reach the bottom. I saw kid after kid (and parent) land right on their bottoms hard coming off the slides.

Its a cute and well landscaped area for children to play and let their imagination soar. It is part of the City Park of New Orleans. There is also an area with kid oriented rides adjacent to this area. In the park overall there are lots to see and do.

This place is really fantastic. I recommend all folks see it!

Vey nice place for the familyt o visit.

My wife and I do not have children, but we came through here to ride the train. It seems like a really great place to bring kids. On a Sunday afternoon it was definitely crowded, but not chaotic. Sometimes you worry that places like this will be unkempt and tired looking, but everything here seemed well maintained and in good shape. I think it would be a fun place with small children.

Great place for the 18 months to 5 year old. Disappointed that none of the water features had water nor did the misting flowers were operational. One water fountain was also bereft of water. Overall good place to promote gross-motor development.

Four dollars a person. Old gross statues. Everything needs paint and repairs. Done with the walk through in 10 minutes.

Young kids will love this place. Lots of shade as well for the adults. The figures will bring you into the stories.

Absolutely awesome place to take the kids. We had a blast. Many of the classic tales are represented in the park. Highly recommended!

Fun attraction for small children and families! Space for kids to run and wander, nice gardens with childrens storybook characters in their settings every few steps.

We went right before the Christmas holiday and the roller coaster/amusement park was closed. We still had to pay full price. We are planning on going back this summer. They have a few new rides and it looked fun. The storyland is straight out of Childrens books. You small child will love it. The old kids will love the amusement rides. Everything is located inside the city park, including a restaurant with beignets and hot chocolate. A must try experience!!!

I am 46. I grew up going to this place. It is a kids (probably 6 and under) paradise!! All the nursery rhymes brought to life!!

The kids had a blast and were also able to visit the botanical gardens next door to get a art/history lesson.

Fantastic place for kids up to about 6. Fairy tales bigger than life!

Highly recommend talking the $4 train ride. You have to walk through the majority of the theme park to get to the train so not only do you get a scenic walk through the theme park but you get a 15 minute scenic view of part of City Park.

7 dwarfs

Nice place for the kids. It costs to get in $4 per person and you have to pay for rides. However it is more affordable than most places.

My children loved it here. We had a nice family fun day.

Its a great place for kids 5 & under! My kindergarten students had a blast on their field trip here!

Love the new additions!!!

Poor maintained and no interactivity for kids at all about the stories. They are renovating Story Land soon. My advice is to wait till they done that

My kids enjoyed. I just wish the grounds in City Park was as nice as Lafrienere Park.

I love Storyland. When I think of my childhood I think of Storyland.

The 3 people at the counter were more interested in staring at their cell phones than wanting to help us and take our money.

We are members but its so reasonable and everyone is friendly.

OMG! Absolutely adorable fairy tale themed park where kids can run around in a secure fenced environment and act out their favorite fairy tales.

This place is a mess. The displays are not kept up. Theyre faded and ragged. It would be nice if they updated it with some new characters.We took my daughter there for her birthday, and it was such a disappointment. Not worth the $$ you spend to get in there.

Loved storyland as a child, and now my kids do.

Went to a birthday party here. Great place for young children

Best place to take your children

It is very small. We wasted time for 1/2 hour. It was unkempt and muddy and half the stuff was blocked off with orange tape. The moat had a dirty stream at the bottom. Only redeeming quality is that my 3 year old didnt notice the disrepair. It was probably very sweet originally but now a disappointment.

Fun family things to do together.

Son has autism and really enjoyed this place. Thanks to the staff for making our visit great!!

Fun little park. Storylsnd needs a little restoration so go visit!

Inexpensive and fun outdoor park, great for kids, clean, safe and lots of shade with places to sit while watching the kids, good for kids even as young as when they are first walking

Great place to take your little ones. Admission is free if you join the friends of city park.

Great place for a day out with the little ones.

My grandbaby Love Story Land its a good place to bring the kids and feel safe

Although a bit dated, it is a great place to picnic and allow childrens imaginations to run wild.

Storyland is not bad for little kids. Carnival that is attached is good value but have to pay separately for

Very cute little play park, my daughter loves it!

My kids love it and so do I

Fun for young children. Attractions for the family are walking distance from Storyland.

Was closed for remodeling until September 2019.

This is a great place to take your kids to enjoy bigger-than-life nursery rhyme characters. Some refurbishment should be in order but this does not take away from the charm.

Cool and colorful! Fun for adults and kids.

The kids liked it. Could use repairs.

LOVED IT! so much fun...
