storybook gardens

Visited Storybook Gardens last summer when they had a Frozen Elsa & Anna /Sofia the First princess themed day. My 7-year old daughter loved the musical princess performances, but loved the park attractions even more. A few highlights are the giant bouncy pillow, tower slide, and climbing ropes course. There is lots for boys and girls to enjoy - a wonderfully designed splash pad area with lots of water features, pirate themed play structures, carnival rides (ferris wheel, carousel, etc.) and even some farm animals to visit. As visitors from out of town, we spent the whole day and thought it was a great value for keeping our daughter entertained. If we lived locally, we definitely would have bought the season pass as it's a fun place to bring kids.

The Gardens will probably entertain and amuse younger children, younger than 8. There are lots of activities and some good shows, but the park does not seem to have kept up with the times - needs some rejuvenation and some new more thrilling rides.

Lots of activities for very young children. Maybe not so great for the ones who are a bit older, say maybe 9 or 10 and up will probably be bored quickly. The shows were very entertaining and the park was well laid out and easy to navigate. A little disappointed in the snack stands. Too few and not a very good menu selection, but you are able to bring you own picnic lunch in with you which is a plus.

I have fond memories from my childhood of coming here. Somewhat less enthusiastic memories of taking my children there and extreme disappointment taking our grandchildren. There is so much more that could be done to rejuvenate this london tourist attraction. The admission price is far to high for what you get. The rides are extra and to squeeze that last dollar out you have to exit through the gift shop. Worst of all this is not a privately owned business it is run by the city of London. The petting farm in sarnia at Centennial park is much better and it is free!

Unfortunately I feel Storybook Gardens is an overpriced playground. There are plenty of free parks and splash pads in London to visit. Save your money.

I loved storybook, so did my daughter. And even though she was only 16 mnths and a lot of the play things are too old for her she loved to watch plays walk around the little village water splash pad is great and park is very clean well maintained. Only downside for me is the animals, they really don't look happy and healthy. they don't need animals there , also it is a bit expensive, best to get season pass and go more often. see you next year

Children seem to really enjoy this attraction. Lots of walking so wear comfy shoes. Small farm is a nice stop for younger children. Older children enjoy the climbing equipment. Everyone enjoys the splash pad. You can purchase food or bring your own. Stroller and wheelchair friendly.

This is one of the best places for kids in London. There is so much to do - splash pad, climbing gym, animals, picnic area and little houses and figures to look at.

We went in wrong season, it should be best in Summer and Spring. Even then, my 6 year old has got immense fun out there. They made a skate ring inside the park and there are loads to activities for the kids during season.

After visiting Storybook Gardens as a kid I was hesitant to return. The new addition of the jumping pillow, pirate ship and spray pad makes this a great family destination for younger and school age kids. Rides aren't worth the money since they are just your average carnival rides but the shows are great!

This story book kingdom is in the heart of spring park. For the price and convenience it is a delight for children and adults.

Best part of the day for the kids by far was the giant jumping thingie. I don't remember what they call it lol. They loved the outdoor wooden playground too. My girls were 5 & 3 at the time and had a blast. The rides were mediocre but a good way to kill a few hours. They loved the splash pad too!

I hadn't been to Storybook since I was a kids and didn't expect it to be better. It was perfect. The trees have grown and there is lots of shaded areas. The playgrounds are good for all kids ages. And the cost was pretty decent!

Storybook gardens is an annual tradition for our family. The kids (ages 10 & 12 now) love the blue bouncy pillow. They spend hours on there and the adults have fun too! It is almost like a huge trampoline. We were disappointed with the shade cover that was installed. We were not able to bounce as high as we wanted. They also love the rope jungle gym. This park is really for younger children, but we continue to go for the above.

Great for kids ages 1-9 if you are looking for outdoors activities. It is a good deal to purchase seasonal pass, if living in London area. Plan on spending 2 hours each time. The only problem is short evening hours, the park is open really in "office hours" which overlaps with school/ work schedule on weekdays. My kids enjoyed rides, sand pit, jumping pillow and variety of slides in Pirate Island area . I think splash pad is nice, but kids tend to avoid it due or cold water temperature . Also, they are trying to improve menu and make some healthy choices available in fast restaurant. The staff is always nice and helpful, happy and obviously enjoying working with kids. We have been holding seasonal passes on and off (you may get bored after while) for 4 years at least and will likely continue to do so.
