Storybook Land - New Jersey 

16:50 every parent at an amusement park at least once during the day. 🤣🤣🤣 "GET OVER HERE! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY IT?!"

Ahh, who doesn't remember "Possessed Goldilocks and the Exorcism Bears"...and Santa's proctologist.

... Lol ... my family summered at Lavallette from 1955-1967. I still have pieces of Batsto glass slag around here somewheres ... and I safely weathered a white squall in my 6' English punt, along with my childhood dog, tied up under the Tom's River Bridge. *Best times of My Life ...*

My parents took us here in the early 70s. I remember the pumpkin coach being white, wrought iron. It was horse drawn through the park with a live Cinderella. I also remember a slide coming from the second story of one of these buildings. What I remember most is getting my head stuck in the electric window of our Chrysler, in the parking lot. I just wanted to see what would happen. Put the window off the track and made my dad really mad. Thanks for the memories.

My, child hood memories! Holy crap, I can't believe they still have story book land!

It's great to see one of the old roadside attractions still going strong! I hope it lasts a long time!

Is nobody going to say anything about when the mom was literally screaming at her kid when he was looking at the 3 little pigs, Imao!?!?!

A south Jersey childhood staple!!! I LOVED this place as a kid! The creepy animatronics bring back lots of uncomfortable memories. The last time I was here it looked pretty run-down, but it appears they’ve cleaned it up a bit since.

Unbelievable!....l am 60 years old now and remember my parents taking me there many times when l was very young. Of course l don't remember the actual details of inside the park now. Thank you for the trip down memory lane. There also seemed to be a place called Adventure Village in the area. For some reason that name comes to mind. Great to see that some Americana still exists in the world.

The best time to visit story book land is christmas!!! They turn it into a wonderland of lights and christmas ,hot chocolate, its beautiful.

That place looks very high quality. I love the cute and colorful rides. I would go there over Disney.

I would suggest take a follow up trip during Christmas. Santa lights the park up every night at dusk with millions of lights and some of the rides are retrofitted for Christmas. Its an amazing way to get into the spirit of the season and a true hidden gem!

Havent been here in years but went when i was little and took my kids here. Its a fun day. I live about 45 minutes from here. It is amazing at Christmas.

Fairy Tale Forest was a similar park in New Jersey. It’s been closed and abandoned for years, but the family is in the process of rehabilitating it. Weird NJ has done a profile on it.

Disney comes a knocking "so I hear you are using our ips."

I really liked this road side attraction! The animatronics are very well maintained and kids seem like they are having a good time, and that's what counts! 😉🧚🏼‍♀️

That's rad ... Honestly... I bet those lil kids are happy going to places like this. Keeping childhood alive.

Thanks for the memories Jacob ❤ was here as a little girl & actually remember some of the buildings & attractions. We probably visited there in 1967 . I was4 years old & it was a magical place for me ❤

Thank you Jacob. Your daily adventures help me relax and unwind. Perfect dose of medicine for the busy mind.

Awe Wow!!! So Nostalgic! When I was a kid my Dad could manage to find all kinds of roadside attractions. That was in the 60s and 70s. Wow!! Thank you for the roadside travel. God Bless

Perfect morning to watch the carpetbagger with my coffee and eggs. Plus these animatronics are amazing. Someday I'll go visit this place

love the animatronics. reminds me of storybook forest in ligoneer, pa.

Welcome to NJ! You should check out Land of Make-Believe and Wild West City.

i was so excited to see this in my recommendations, this was such a big part of my childhood! we lived relatively close so i came here a lot with family friends. i remember getting into the park and immediately running to "bubbles the coaster" ... it was seriously the best ride ever when you're only 3 feet tall haha. i don't know if it still does, but the reason it was called bubbles was because it would blow bubbles when you rode it :) i also loved the alice and wonderland part and going through the card maze. so great to see its still popular :)

I am going to be haunted by "Turn around and look at momma"

The Alice in Wonderland journey was great! Very original, and unique.

Welcome to jersey , I hope you do more places from out here , like the dinner theater in Wildwood , or the zoo up north that doubles as a musuem with odd things , Princeton death masks or Trenton's state musuem that's free

Its lovely to see this kind of attraction still open. I suspect that a lot of children think that Disney invented fairytales. I would like to add that I do love Disney movies, but its good to see different takes on it!

It’s really great to see how well kept this place is and how popular it appears. Also, the wolf animatronic startled me. 😂

Haven’t been here since the 90s! It was so nice being able to see all the new rides and attractions and updates to pre existing ones that have happened in the past 20 years. Thanks for the nostalgia trip!

Land of Make Believe in Hope NJ has been around forever is similar. That area is also the home to Friday the 13th filming locations.

Story Land in Glen NH is also kept up very well. They keep expanding too.

Went there in daycare 1980 was so awesome there used to be a goat that lived in a treehouse remember running through the card maze at 4yrs old am now 42

Love Storybook Land! Have been going since I can remember and now my kids love it as well

That park is so clean, pristine and colorful. An attraction to anyone who visit it!

I dont live far from Storybookland. It is a special place for the children and adults in this area. Almost every elementary school in Southern New Jersey has had a class trip to Storybookland. I waa here in Kindergarten. I am now a Real Estate agent in Ocean City NJ and I brought my children here a few years back. Come back for Christmas so you can see Santa!

That is the cutest over load vlog I've ever seen !! I will definitely watch this again with my grandchildren . They'll love this . Wish there was one here in Ga. I would love to take my grandchildren to see this in person . Thanks Jacob the Carpetbagger for sharing this cute vlog . I love it !!

Those "bleacher" stadium seats are from the vet stadium in philly... Philadelphia Phillies veterans stadium that they tore down

I am liking this place! It’s pretty big for its size! So many attractions, and rides! What an amazing place, to go to, and feel the nostalgia, come in, and surround you. Thank you, for doing this for us! My favorites, are the Twirling Turtle, the old Model T car ride, and the Train!

2:53 Hey! The three Bears look so creepy!

Another fun fact: Dunder and Blixem are the German for "Thunder and Lightning." When I was little, I'd imagine the two of them play-fighting in the clouds during every storm.

If your in NJ definitely go over to ocean city or wildwood boardwalk. Would love to see you go there! Keep up with the great videos Jacob.

My grandkids would love this place .

6:42 “And uh this guy is uh getting the deer all ready”

This would be a really nice place to take my Grandchildren, great nephews, & great neice to!

This brings back so many memories. Me and my family would go here so often and I loved it

I remember the TV ads for this and the pamphlets that were at the rest stops back in the 60s.

OH. MY. GOD. I WENT TO THIS PLACE EVERY WEEK AND SKSKKSKSKSK MY SISTER FELL OFF OF THE SLIDE THERE AND I LOVED THE ALICE.AND WONDERLAND THING AND AHHHHH

THIS IS ABOUT 3 HOURS FROM ME... GONNA BRING MY KIDS THERE REAL SOON

Gotta be Aaron Fechter's work on the three bears and red riding hood. Very Rockafire. Pretty sure I saw some Gooney Golf stuff repurposed in there as well.

It's a lot more magical at night with Santa in dec

I love these old attractions. Memories!!!! Thank you so much for sharing I still love an oldfashionned carousell

Dunder and Blixem, are actually Dutch for Thunder and Lightning.

This is a really cute and sweet little theme park, a remnant from a simpler time before places like Disney and Six Flag dominated the theme park business, and kids were entertained more easily than they are now. However, I was a bit surprised by all the Christmas stuff in the middle of summer. I guess that, at those storyland-style parks, year-round Christmas displays were probably pretty common!

I once got lost here when I was a kid. They didn’t find me for hours

I live about 10-12 miles from there, and have driven by many times, but have never been inside the place. It's much more extensive than I had imagined. Very cool. Great video.

Always a pleasure to follow along with ya.

I love about 5 minutes from there. Haven't been there since I was a young kid. Kinda wish I knew you were coming here. Would have loved to come meet you.

We still have OURS here in Fresno, CA. It's called Storyland , we also have a playland with a rollercoaster and carousel 🎠 .

I love how they never realized how funny it is when they included the water walking zombie in a fantasy land.

The third piggy needed schooling on bricklaying! LOL Great job Jacob!

This is the greatest fairly tale park of all time.

What a charming park. Loved it. Trisha xxx

Thanks Carpetbagger, my mommaw had the exact same set of Mr. & Mrs. Santa at @5:10. Fond memories seeing as shes been gone for some time now.

I love this place,I went there for my birthday,it's fun!!!!

I always wondered what would happen to the pig with a stucco house... the geodesic dome... the aluminum siding over a trailer on blocks... I'd watch that updated version! Glass houses and all... thanks CB!

Haven’t been here since 05 glad its still running

You now have to visit Dutch Wonderland!!!! Oh and did you know you can ride a free ride at Hershey that shows how they make chocolate?

Are you still here ? Go to Lucy in margate... the best story of road side

Ah, this gives back so many memories! When I was little, I *LOVED* the dragon rollercoaster! Thank you for sharing this video! ♡︎

i used to come here constantly as a kid, insane nostalgia rn

Ahh now your in my old neck of the woods! There's an old "town" from 1766 called Batsto Village about an hour from Storybook land that I think you would seriously enjoy. There's also a pirates grave hidden away in the woods on the edge of the marshes about half an hour from storybook land where he was buried in unhallowed ground that hardly anyone knows about.

Most impressive! I've never been to New Jersey

I’ve been going to this park ever since I was a child, now I go with my nieces but somehow it’s managed to hold on to the charm that it had when I was young with a few exceptions. Before they built the three bears house that’s there now, they had an old house where you could go into it and see the three bears (who were really creepy looking) sitting down stairs with Goldilocks upstairs. Love this place.

Love this place! Not many like it remaining, hope they are there forever!

There is a lot to do at this little park. Very cute.

Did u turn around and smile to mama's photo? I hope u did 😂😂😂

2:18 speaking of those A&W Statues my local A&W has their Papa Burger still standing to this day!

Welcome to New Jersey

This place is old but absolutely legit. For kids 4-9/10 it is awesome. The layout is bigger than you would think. I had many Bdays there as a kid. Singing and cutting my cake at the big birthday cake with family and friends

Reminds me of Story Land in New Hamshire. Don't know if it's still open, but my parents took me and my sister there year after year when we were young.

You have to go around Christmas time when they have the WHOLE PLACE LIT UP! It’s beautiful!!!!

About 20 yrs ago only a few rides and not the push buttons. Years ago almost a place to go class trip for kiddy literature had to know the stories. So much different. Thanks for the trip yours Evans w Robinson

OMG......I'm in tears watching this one. I would take my children here at least 3 times a year during the summer. We would buy a reindeer in the gift shop every now and now again for years until we had 8. My son is now in his 30s and my daughter is 25. We now live in Florida but every Christmas we display our reindeer and talk about all the many good times we had there. HALLOWEEN and Christmas is great there too. My daughter and I always talk about getting a "North Pole" here to hug as it is so hot in Florida. THANK YOU for the trip down memory lane. You made this old chick cry. You need to go to the Cape May Zoo if you are in the area. It's amazing and free! We would also do a lot of day trips into Philadelphia to all the museums. I'm feeling really old right now.

How awesome is that place. Very well maintained

Love your vids Jacob! Makes me feel like I’m actually hanging out with you at these cool places.

Geeze right in my back yard! I would have met ya!

What a pretty, well-maintained park! The animatronics all work well and it is so clean and nice rides and landscaping. Loved this video!

I live like 25 mins from Storybook Land. We took our sons there a few times. We were always happy when we left. But that was 25 years ago. They’ve added a lot.

I live near here my mom took us as a kid.. So magical.

I remember coming here as a kid. It seems like there is way more to do there now

I live 30 mins for here.... Its super cute for kids

Greetings from Atlantic City New Jersey USA. Welcome to the great state of New Jersey Awesome video Very well put together There is literally a lifetime of family fun just miles away from where you are at. Looks like you had as much fun as the kids.

Ahh!! I live here! Storybook land is the best!

Jacob, you get to have the most fun!

Storybook Land has grown a bit since my childhood! BUT I remember the lil attractions so well! I wanted to be the one to push all the buttons. I remember they had the best saltwater taffy.

Cookies do that to me too LOL

I noticed in the videos your carpetbag has upgraded and modernized into a suitcase,now that's the you travel for a really good road trip,way to go,two thumbs up!!!enjoy!!!

I live 40 minutes from there and I still love going to story books land!! Come back in December for Christmas it’s beautiful

There is a story land theme park in New Hampshire too that has been there for decades. You would love it look into it. Also look into Canobie Lake Park which is also in NH. Awesome theme parks to visit forsure.
