HAPPILY EVER AFTER

The Autumn issue of American Road takes its rhythm from the cat and the fiddle. The calliope to our carousel is "Happily Ever After," a colossal historical and pictorial whirl through ten North American storybook parks. Most of these nursery rhyme retreats are contemporaries of Disneyland. All prove-with regard to making magic-Mother Goose is as good as a mouse.

 

Children of all ages will find delight in reading about and visiting these fairy tale parks featured in the latest issue of American Road magazine:

 

Storyland at City Park, Louisiana

Enchanted Forest, British Columbia

Story Book Forest, Pennsylvania

Enchanted Forest, Oregon

Rotary Storyland, California

Storybook Land, New Jersey

Clark's Eliok Farm, Maryland

Storybook Island, South Dakota

Fairlyand Caverns, Georgia

Storybook Gardens, Ontario

 

We found more than a few magical fairy tale parks offering charm and entertainment across North America that we are including for your reference below:

 

Storybook Land

Follow the yellow brick road (actually, the Yellowstone Trail) to Aberdeen's magical theme park - Storybook Land! Dorothy, Toto, the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion will all greet you as you enter a land of enchantment that includes over 60 larger than life exhibits. Enjoy a ride around the park on the Storybook Land Express with your children or grandchildren.

 

L. Frank Baum, noted author and resident of Aberdeen (1888 to 1891), penned The Wizard of Oz. The book provided the inspiration for Aberdeen's newest theme park - Land of Oz. The park is located just northwest of Storybook Land and features a farmstead area with Dorothy's house, children's petting zoo, Munchkin Land (plaza area with running stream), Scarecrow's house, Tin Man's house, Wicked Witch Castle, and Emerald City. You'll just need to bring your own ruby slippers!
