Major Improvements Coming to Story Book Forest at Idlewild

Idlewild & SoakZone is revving up for an electrifying 2024 season, promising an enchanting adventure for visitors of all ages. With a magical makeover underway at Story Book Forest and a jam-packed schedule of events and entertainment, the acclaimed Best Kids Park in the World is gearing up for its 147th season in grand style.

Prepare to be whisked away into the enchanting realm of Story Book Forest, where beloved fairy tales and nursery rhymes come to life amidst a lush, wooded landscape.

This season, guests can expect an array of enhancements, including smoother pathways for easier strolling and wheeling, the return of classic scenes like “Rub-a-Dub-Dub Three Men in a Tub” in a dazzling new setting, and the triumphant resurgence of “Jack and the Beanstalk” with a fresh twist. From the restoration of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs iconic cottage to the revitalization of scenic water features, and new wood siding on the Good Ship Lollipop, every corner of Story Book Forest will sparkle with renewed charm and excitement.

The lake is getting refreshed to ensure it remains as picturesque as its surroundings, along with motion returning to the Windmill and waterwheels in the center.

But the magic doesn’t stop there. Idlewild & SoakZone is rolling out the red carpet for thrill-seekers and fun-seekers alike, with new bumper cars at Skooters and ongoing restoration efforts at the historic Carousel in Olde Idlewild. The carousel horses, which date back to 1931, were stripped down to bare wood and carefully hand-painted to restore this timeless classic to its original beauty.

And for those looking to take home a piece of the excitement, the SoakZone Gift Shop is getting a stylish makeover, offering guests an elevated shopping experience with chic displays and exclusive park merchandise.

From the excitement of Kids Fest to the spine-tingling thrills of HALLOWBOO!, the 2024 season promises an unforgettable array of events and entertainment for the whole family.

Mark your calendars for the grand opening on May 18, followed by the splashy debut of SoakZone on May 25.
