New Orleans’ City Park is a magical, 1,300-acre outdoor oasis that’s just chock full of activities. You could spend an entire weekend exploring the botanical gardens, doing a little fishing, cycling around, or even just taking a casual stroll underneath the canopies of ancient oak trees that fill the park. One of the most interesting attractions within City Park is a fascinating little space where your childhood fairytales come to life, and no matter what age you are, you’ll feel like you’ve drifted off into the pages of a fairytale. Let’s check it out:
Storyland is one of those places you just have to see to believe.
