Parenting

If you have been to Storyland

We are thinking of taking the kids in beginning of summer.  Youngest ds will be 5 months old then.  Will it be easy to bring a baby?  He can't go on the rides that are there, so don't know if we can enjoy the other two when one always has to stay off a ride.  Wondering if we can bring him or if we would be better finding someone (probably my mom) to take him for the 2 days we go.

Re: If you have been to Storyland

  • Could your mom just go with you so she could stay with the baby as you go on rides?  Some rides he probably could go on like the tiny little ferris wheel that is all enclosed.  Walking around with a baby wouldn't be too hard there, the logistics of needing to be with the other 2 on rides would be the issue.  Have fun!  DS wants to go back this year.

    ETA: your older 2 will probably be big enough to go on most rides by themselves, so it might not be that big of an issue to only have 1 parent on the rides with them.

  • We are thinking about going the end of June, which is when the kids get out of school.  I think it might be best to leave the baby with my mom.  I don't want my mom to go with us.  She does pretty much everything with us and dh wants this to be just us.  I agree with him because my mom gets a little intense with planning and doesn't really just let the kids do what they want.

    If you have been, where do you stay?

    Anything else I should know in planning?

  • I'd probably opt for leaving baby at home... it just poses logistical challenges, and I would think the whole family would enjoy the trip more without worrying about who hangs back.

    We've stayed at the Seasons the last couple of years and have been totally happy with the accommodations: https://www.seasonsnh.com/
