To our Passholders, Guests and the Communities We Serve,
Story Land Theme Park has been the go-to place for making summer memories in the White Mountains since 1954.
My name is Chris Kearsing, and I am the General Manager here at Story Land and Living Shores. I’ve had the pleasure of working in the theme park industry for more than 25 years, but since joining the team at Story Land in 2024, I’ve quickly come to understand just how special this park is to generations of families across New England. So many guests return year after year with stories of childhood visits, family traditions, and memories that have lasted a lifetime, and it’s truly an honor to be part of that tradition.
This season, we’re adding even more ways to make your visit special and help your family create new memories together. Our mission of Bringing Families Closer Together by Creating Memories Worth Repeating® is simple, and it’s at the heart of everything we do.
Beginning on Opening Day, May 23, you’ll see that mission come to life through several exciting new offerings. We’re thrilled to introduce new ways for families to interact with their favorite Story Land characters. Our all-new Topsy Turvy Party: A Mad Royal Bash offers an interactive experience with Cinderella and the Mad Hatter, our Character Dinner has been completely revamped with new food offerings, and Fairy Trail, our brand-new interactive scavenger hunt, will take guests on an adventure throughout the park. Later this summer we are also looking forward to welcoming back two beloved rides, Turtle Twirl and Crazy Barn, iconic attractions that generations of guests have enjoyed over the years.
In addition to new entertainment and returning attractions, we’ve also added a new way for families to make the most of their time together at Story Land. The TimeSaver Pass allows guests to spend less time waiting in line and more time enjoying favorite rides like Bamboo Chutes, Polar Coaster, Antique Cars, and more.
We can’t wait to welcome you and your family back to Story Land for the 2026 season and to be part of the memories you make this summer.
See you on Opening Day!
Chris Kearsing
General Manager
