If you grew up in South Jersey - or, really, anywhere in the Delaware Valley - you probably experienced the magical place in Egg Harbor Township known as Storybook Land.

For 70 years, kids have delighted in the magic of this one-of-a-kind gem in South Jersey.

Whether you came with your family or a school group, you probably visited during the busy summer or during special times like Christmas.

Storybook Land opens for the summer season

Storybook Land has always been a great place for families. 19 rides and many attractions await kids, and their parents and grandparents.

Storybook Land is now open Saturdays and Sundays, with a full season coming right around the corner.  I love this description of the park from Storybook Land's website: "The park blends classic storytime favorites with a clean, family-friendly setting to make the best place for the young and young-at-heart to bond together."

Kids can't wait to get there!

We checked TripAdvisor reviews for the park, and they are overwhelmingly positive. Of 573 reviews, 538 are either a 4 or 5 rating - that's excellent.

Here's a scan of some of the things reviewers have shared:

"The park is very clean and the employees are top notch. But Santa here is my favorite part of this amazing park. My 5-year-old grandson stutters, and Santa was very patient and kind and let him take his time to talk."

"There were plenty of people working - and all employees were friendly and cheerful."

"The grounds are so well kept and the rides are age-appropriate."

"This place is amazing for a young child. Took our six-year-old granddaughter and she loved it."

"Fantastic family experience, especially for kids 10 years and under! Clean, so well-maintained, natural shade under the trees, a beautiful park. The best young staff members ever!"

Congratulations, Storybook Land, on 70 years of making great memories for families! Here's to another 70!
