    I love these parks, they are a true piece of history. There is a documentary on these type of parks. Unfortunately the large rides have taken the appeal away, soon this place will close as the fairy tale forest and gingerbread house in New Jersey did. There is a Storybook Land outside Alantic City in New Jersey.

    The bowling gnomes in the Rip Van Winkle display – in the story of Rip Van Winkle, he comes across a bunch of gnomes bowling in the forest and drinking ale. He hangs with them, bowls a few frames, sips some ale and then falls asleep for years. Pretty darn absurd!

    As of this year (2009) the park has been opened for over 46 years . I started going there as a child some 34 + years ago . I am now taking my 3 children there so that they will have the same kind of memories that I have … I am amazed that they still have ALL of the things that I so fondly remember from childhood .
    Even the arcade still has the Parrot that lays an egg for a quater . Granted the bird is in rough shape as are many of the fiberglass figures .

    But all in all for the price you cannot beat the fun or the memories that can and will last a life time … Now I get to enjoy my childhood memories with my children and I also get to enjoy watching them make there own . With any luck someday I will be bringing my grandkids there as well ….

    It is a wonderful MAGIC place that EVERYONE who has young children should NEEDS to go at least once !
