We love this place. It's been a staple of Rapid City for decades. All of the kids have always loved it. A little disappointed that they took out the swings. Storybook Island is awesome in the summertime because they hold all types of different events. They have plays for children and other events for children such as painting festivals and arts and crafts festivals. In the fall many times they host a Halloween celebration which is really really neat too. They have all sorts of spooky decoration set up all over the place with different people handing out candy. After Thanksgiving they set up Christmas lights and you can walk through and see all the Christmas light displays which is an extra festive. We love going and getting hot chocolate and walking around with the grandkids and looking at all of the Christmas lights. Storybook Island is an A++.

This place!!!!!! We have young toddlers who aren’t so aware of the characters/movies/stories and they still loved it. It really is a magical place. Give yourself some time to enjoy it! So many places to play; endless parks! Houses, tree houses, playgrounds, princesses, Dr. Seuss, Winnie the Pooh. The train was cute and had some funny music. Snow cone truck was nice on a hot day. Gift shop was small and cute. I think they could charge a small entry fee to get the money they are requesting to add on/upkeep. I wish they would stay open through the fall so more people could enjoy this without the heat. Clean bathrooms onsite. Free parking lot. This was a nice surprise and one of the highlights of our trip to Rapid City!

Not all of the Employees in carousel area were wearing a mask. THEY were NOT welcoming, in fact we had to ask if they were giving rides- they said "ya" in a apathetic voice like giving the kids a ride was a waste of time and when our kids got on the ride the female employee went and laid against the ride as though she was exhausted. After the ride, the female again without a mask and without gloves she slapped a paper towel on the ride as though she didnt care about the cleanliness and was jus putting in her time. We will not be returning to this location. Sad that employees of a family fun location did not have the necessary people skills and upbeat/positive attitude like they should..
