Has anyone been to Story Book Garden in London, Ontario?

[*Fantasia*]

My family and I have been there when I was a young teen. The theme of this park is the Mother Goose Rymes (well as far as I can remember). I would like to go back there again with my husband and my kids 2 and 4. I thought they would enjoy this place.

Has anyone been there or heard about this park? It has been years for me. I would like to get some info on this park or any website that you know for this park. Thanks!!

Last time we were there was about three years ago, but my kids had a great time. Sorry of like mini zoo, playgroung. They were putting on little shows for kids, nursery rhymes etc. DOnt know if its still there but they also had a childrens museum in London that was lots of fun. Have a good time.

Thanks maryann! When we get to Canada, I will stop at the information center and get some brochure on this park and other things to see there! We're thinking of going there on Labor Day weekend, before or after Niagra Falls. I hope this place won't be a "zoo"!

Hi Fantasia

I have lived in London my entire life and have been to Storybook Gardens several times. My daughter is now nine, and still enjoys it. It is a quiet little park based on the Nursery Rhymes. There are several animals to see.........lambs, rabbits, beavers.....more sedate than a big zoo. The kids love the play areas - slides, bouncing thing, balls etc. Storybook Gardens is in Springbank Park, a beautiful park with several playgrounds, wading pool, caroussel, train ride, picnic areas in a huge grassy area that runs along the Thames River. Make sure you take time to enjoy all of that too. Kids that are the ages that yours are get the most from the park as it doesn't offer the "big rides". Glad to see you won't be coming until Labour Day as our City workers just went on strike on Friday, and the park is closed as it is run by the City!! Hopefully, it will be resolved soon...........certainly by September!! Hope this helps!!
