Rides

A trip to Story Land wouldn’t be complete without rides! Enjoy endless opportunities to relive your childhood on classic Story Land rides and ones that may be ‘new’ to you since your childhood departure from the land where fantasy lives. Unless you are choosing a kid free night at Story Land, then you are well acquainted with our offerings ;P. It is our goal to have all rides and attractions open for these events! Rides will operate until 10 pm with queue lines closing at 9:45 pm. Some rides will close once the ride operator deems it too dark to operate safely, including (but not limited to) Swan Boats, Buccaneer Pirate Ship, Cinderella's Coach, and the Safari Ride. All ride offerings and schedules are subject to change and are not guaranteed.
Food & Adult Beverages

Classic theme park snacks and adult beverages will be available. Multiple food and beverage locations will be open serving classic favorites and more hearty options for those looking for a bite to eat. Last year slushies were a hit, so we'll be bringing them back! Drink service ends at 9:30PM, and will be expanded this year to cover more of the park!
Shows & Entertainment

A trip to Story Land isn't complete without watching one of more of our shows, of course! We're planning an awesome line-up of shows and roaming performances for our adult-only audience. Stay tuned for more information!
