Our exchange student said it best. "Its like Disneyland, but free and less busy!" We brought our 2 young boys and our exchange student here as a last thing before school started. There is so much to explore and do! Things were reasonably priced. Staff was kind and sweet to our boys. We were so impressed! This is what happens when a community works together to make something valuable and create a legacy. We LOVED it, and will definitely be back!

Spent over 2 hours here, could have spent more time. Wanted to see the animal area, but we had to get on the road. Went on a Monday morning. Not crowded at all. Statues are fun, but some are odd looking. Bathrooms are nice & clean. Enty of places to sit, play, or have a meal. Loved the rides. Park is free, rides are a dollar each if you get a punch card. Staff is helpful & kind. Easy to get around.

If you are anywhere near Aberdeen, a visit to Storybook Land and Wylie Park is a must. You’ll find fun for all ages with exhibits and rides reminiscent of nursery rhymes and fables. You’ll find lots of uniquely themed playgrounds for the kids as well as a train and small rollercoaster. Don’t miss Dorothy’s house with simulation tornado and the yellow brick road with talking trees. There is also a stage show several days a week so check the schedule before you go. Snack bar was open as well. We found the employees running the rides to be very nice and the park to be very clean and well maintained.

Absolute A+ !!! If you are traveling in the area- don’t skip it! We almost did, thinking it was going to be some rinky dink tourist trap….BOY, were we pleasantly surprised! It is a magical place with TONS to do for the family! Admission is free. They have a few kids rides that you can buy tickets for. I would absolutely skip walking the wildlife path- take the train instead- you go through it and see everything. We kept saying over and over how awesome it was- 100% go!

One of my favorite places that never gets old. Was so excited to finally bring my first born here.

So much fun for all ages!! A unique experience most any time of the year. Make it a dsy or a week, there is plenty to do at Wiley Park from Storybook Land and the Land of Oz, to the balloon ride and roller coaster. There is a zoo and a train. They have an antique carousel. It is magical seeing your favorite nursery rhymes and stories come to life! The park also offers putt putt, bumper boats and go karts. There is a beautiful campground, swimming hole and pinic areas too.

Lots of fun. We spent more than three hours in the park, taking our time to let the kids play and reminisce with family. It was pretty hot outside but there was plenty of shade and we were able to get our water bottles filled with water and ice from the concessions. Park entry is free and the rides are priced very low.

What can't I say about Storybook Land? It is an iconic spot in the great South Dakota prairie town of Aberdeen. Kiddos will find the many areas of the park entertaining and grown-ups will feel nostalgic. The grounds are gorgeous with mature trees, manicured landscaping, and sidewalks (even a yellow brick road). They literally have a half dozen, full sized playgrounds spread throughout the park with plenty of benches and shade for grown-ups. It's free to enter, but rides do cost money. Pick up a punch card when you walk in or at a concession stand. Bring water! It's not hard to find, but it's a little tough filling up a water bottle in a fiberglass lion's mouth.

Fantastic place for the whole family, especially if you have a special needs child! They have a beautiful sensory park as well as various rides and parks there. The staff will allow you to be with your child on rides if necessary too. The punch card for rides is also great for if you're on a budget.

We love Storybook Land! The park is well tended and easy to navigate. There are statues, play structures, and rides based on fairytales and nursery rhymes. The back half of the park is dedicated to the Wizard of Oz with a walkthrough from Kansas and the tornado to Oz and the hot air balloons. There is also a small zoo with deer, llamas, elk, bison, and more. The rides and concessions are open in the summer but the park itself remains open for walking from spring to fall. It is free to enter Storybook Land but the rides cost money. I recommend getting a ride pass which is good for ten rides. The rides are geared toward kids. We were told a new ride is being added to the park in 2024. There are many play structures and there’s even an all-abilities playground next to the concessions and merry-go-round pavilion. My favorite time to visit is in the spring when the baby goats have been born. Storybook Land is so peaceful to walk through in the spring.

This is going to sound crazy but I think this place was one of the highlights of my daughter's life. We went camping on the campsite right next to Storybook Land and the next day I kind of surprised her by just walking and said, "Hey, what's this place?" She was 6 when I took her. This place was the PERFECT for her age. She loved the Humpty Dumpty roller coaster the most. I loved all of the Wizard of Oz areas. My favorite was the tornado house. After we played all day at Storybook Land we went to the nearby lake and played in the water and sand. Best day ever!

A classic FREE attraction for young kids. An amazing collection of playgrounds and attractions. The Land of OZ is an Instagram paradise. Lots of picnic areas, plenty of benches throughout the attractions. The live animal attractions are aging and not full but a nice walk. Reasonably priced concessions and gift shop. Bring quarters for the animal feed and the penny crank. The yellow brick road path is .49 miles and the live animal trail is .59 miles. There is a cute train ride around the park. Dorothy's house is a must do, but can be scary for the very young. There are affordable amusement rides and a very special carousel. The maze is disorienting and small children can become distressed, they should be accompanied. A good size amphitheater is inside the castle. It will take an hour for an adult to see everything, Kids will want to explore and ride, you could spend several hours to most of the day. A real value stop on a road trip. Could make an amazing backdrop for cosplay photos.

This place is so wonderful. Great place for kids of all ages with so much to do and see. Things are reasonably priced and very nice parks and slides throughout. The train is a fun attraction but my favorite was the air Ballon ride! We will definitely be back again to enjoy the fun!
