Just over the rainbow is where you'll find Aberdeen's magical theme park - Storybook Land!
Dorothy, Toto, the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion will all greet you as you begin your journey down the Yellow Brick Road. Enter a land of enchantment that includes over 60 larger than life exhibits. Climb aboard Captain Hook's Ship, visit the animals at Old MacDonald's Farm, but whatever you do, don't get lost in the maze! A ride around the park on the Storybook Land Express is always a hit.
L. Frank Baum, noted author and resident of Aberdeen from 1888 to 1891, penned the timeless children's classic - The Wizard of Oz. The theme, settings and characters from the Wizard of Oz provided the inspiration for Aberdeen's newest theme park - Land of Oz. The ten-acre park is located just northwest of Storybook Land and features a farmstead area with Dorothy's house, children's petting zoo, Munchkin Land (plaza area with running stream), Scarecrow's house, Tin Man's house, Wicked Witch Castle, and Emerald City.
Bring the entire family and take in one of the movies shown on select summer evenings in Sleeping Beauty's Castle, or enjoy a children's theatre production. Whatever your age, you'll enjoy the sights and sounds of Storybook Land and Land of Oz!
