Accessibility Story Land

Service Animals are welcome; however, they are limited to dogs and miniature ponies that have been trained to do work or perform a task for the benefit of the individual with the disability. Service Animals must remain on a leash or harness and be under the control of their handler. If at any time a Service Animal is out of control, they will be asked to be removed from the park. Service Animals are not permitted to ride any ride, with the exception of Huff Puff and Whistle Railroad. While the Service Animal is waiting for their handler to ride any attraction, a Guest must remain with them.

Service Animal Relief Area - A Location is next to admissions, but any greenspace is permissible. Please remember to pick up after.

Located at Guest Services in entrance of the park.

Located at the Park Entrance

Accessible parking located near the Entrance Building. 

Wheelchairs and electric convenience vehicles can be rented on a first come, first served basis. To rent a mobility device, once you have entered the park, go directly to the rental station located to the left as you walk in. Pick your wheelchair or scooter, and with a mobile phone, scan the QR code found on it. Fill out the information and process payment. Once completed just inform the attendant so they can verify it’s complete.

All restrooms have an ADA stall. There are family restrooms located in each restroom. Please note that all Men's & Women's restrooms at Story Land have automatic hand dryers. If you wish to avoid them, please use a Family/Unisex restroom. All Family Restrooms are without automatic hand dryers EXCEPT for the location near the Polar Coaster. Upgraded bathrooms in the front and back of the park are also equipped with commercial fixtures which tend to be louder than residential fixtures. If you child requires a quieter experience, we recommend the Family Restrooms near Little Dreamers and at Dr. Geyser’s Remarkable Raft Ride. 

Adult Changing Room - if you are visiting with a guest who requires an adult changing table, we have installed one behind Humpty Dumpty's Wall to the right of our Calming Room. In this space you will find an adult changing table, waste disposal, hand washing and a lockable door. This facility does not offer plumbing. 

First Aid is located next to the Guest Service Building. In an emergency, please contact any park Team Member.

The cost of admission to Story Land will be waived for a government-funded or privately paid Personal Care Assistant (PCA) whose attendance is required to enable a Guest with severe disabilities to enjoy a day visiting the park. Whether the tickets are purchased in advance or at the gate for the PCA, any request to waive admission for the PCA must be made at the Customer Service office located at the park entrance. The PCA shall not participate in any services/attractions separate from the individual that requires their services.

A Quiet Dining Area is located above Sandwich Oasis and is a great place for those who are looking to dine in a calmer space. Although this is the only designated area, there are many places to enjoy a quieter lunch or snack - behind Humpty Dumpty's wall is typically less trafficked and tends to be quieter.

Our Calming Room is designed as a sensory sensitive environment for those who may need a break from the noise and stimulation of a theme park environment. The Calming Room is equipped with bean bags, a soft rug, sensory friendly activities and air conditioning. It is located at the front of the park behind Humpty Dumpty's wall and all are welcome to use it if needed. 

If you have any questions about food allergies you can get that information at each food stand, simply ask the team member to speak to a coordinator for assistance.

All gift shops are wheelchair accessible. 

The Dino Dash game has removable seats to allow for wheelchair accessibility. Please see the Team Member at the game for assistance.

Story Land has some steep grades and stairs. Please watch for blue ADA signs to alert you to areas with steep grades. Please take care or go around these sections.

If a child or individual with a disability gets separated from your group, stop any Team Member or go to Guest Services (Park Entrance). We do offer an information wristband where you can write your contact information to place on a Guest. This is helpful if the guest is nonverbal, too young or confused to remember contact information. They are available at Guest Services at the Entrance.

One Rider Swap (aka Parent or Kids Swap) may be arranged with ride attendants when a family members stays behind in the queue line area to care for a child not meeting the ride requirements. This also applies when there are more children in the party then can fit on the ride with an adult. 

Loose articles of any kind are not permitted on any roller coaster. Guests can leave the item with a non-rider. Loose Article boxes are provided at some rides, but items lost, stolen, or damaged are not the park’s responsibility.

If a member of your party has a smoke sensitivity, please note that there are 2 designated smoking areas in the park. One is in the front of the park behind Miss Muffet's Market before the bridge to Dr. Geyser's, and the other is in the back of the park next to Crab Crawl. There are select weekends during the season that Story Land goes completely smoke free; check out our events for more information.

The assessment of each ride consists of the following criteria, which may be required to safely ride a certain ride.

• ABILITY TO EXHIBIT INDEPENDENT SEATED POSTURAL CONTROL UNDER THE DYNAMIC CONDITIONS OF THE RIDE
  Explanation: Most rides require that riders have the body and spinal control to sit upright without the aid of other people or devices and be able to maintain proper riding posture, even during bumping or other characteristic movements of the ride.
• APPROPRIATE CENTER OF GRAVITY
  Explanation: Certain rides require that a rider’s body has the appropriate weight distribution above/below the waist for that ride’s restraint system.
• CONTROL OF UPPER TORSO INCLUDING NECK AND HEAD
  Explanation: Most rides require that riders have sufficient muscle control to support their head, neck, and upper torso during the course of the ride.
• ABILITY TO HOLD ON WITH UPPER EXTREMITIES
  Explanation: Certain rides require that riders have either one, or both, functioning arms to hold on during the ride cycle. A functioning arm is an upper extremity or prosthesis exhibiting good grip control, the ability to brace, and the strength to allow the Guest to maintain the proper riding position throughout the duration of the ride.
• ABILITY TO BRACE SELF WITH LOWER EXTREMITIES
  Explanation: Certain rides require that riders have one, or both, functioning legs to be used for bracing the body during the course of the ride. A functioning leg is a lower extremity or a prosthesis that can be used for bracing.
• MINIMUM OF ONE, TWO OR THREE FUNCTIONING EXTREMITIES
  Explanation: Certain rides require that riders have a MINIMUM of one, two or three functioning extremities (two legs, two arms, one arm and one leg, etc.) to brace themselves during the ride.
• ABILITY TO ENTER/EXIT THE RIDE WITHIN SPECIFIED PARAMETERS WITHOUT ENDANGERING SELF OR OTHERS
  Explanation: Guests must be able to enter and exit the ride without jeopardizing themselves or others, and to assist with their own evacuation if necessary. This may include arrangements such as entering through the exit or having someone in their party assist them in the boarding process. If a Guest has to be lifted in and out of the ride unit, a responsible person who is accustomed to doing this must do so. Ride operators are not trained to lift or physically assist Guests.
• MENTAL CAPACITY TO BE AWARE OF HAZARDS TO SELF AND OTHERS; OR OF FAILURE TO RIDE IN PRESCRIBED MANNER
  Explanation: All rides require that riders have sufficient awareness to understand the consequences of actions that may lead to injury to self and/or others. Guests may be able to enjoy select rides when accompanied by a responsible person.

• RESPONSIBLE GUEST – a Guest that (1) complies with the necessary requirements to experience the ride, (2) is approximately 16 years old, and (3) possesses the physical and mental ability to supervise someone throughout the ride.
• INFANT – A handheld child that is too young to walk or sit up on their own.
• TODDLER – A young child who can walk independently.

All shows have wheelchair access.

Due to the design of certain ride vehicles and restraint systems, guests may have difficulty fitting into some rides. If you are wearing a cast or brace, please stop at the Guest Service Center to get a list of what rides you can ride. Note: there are no restrictions for arm casts below the elbow.

On most attractions, guests wearing prosthetic devices will be permitted to ride as long as the device is securely attached and will remain in place throughout the ride cycle. The exceptions to this rule are:

• Roar-o-Saurus – Riders are not permitted to ride with two (2) prosthetic devices unless they are surgically attached. However, they must have three (3) functioning extremities to ride. If the rider only has one leg, the remaining limb must have a knee. 

In order to ride, all restraints must be fastened properly. Riders of exceptional size (height/weight) may have difficulty fitting in the following: Roar-o-Saurus, Dr. Geysers (test seat available), Flying Fish and the Polar Coaster.

Magnets are used on the following ride: Roar-o-Saurus

We offer an alternative access program that, if you qualify, will allow you to use the accessible (ADA) entrance of the ride. The staff at Guest Services will ask you a series of questions to see if you qualify for this program. If you qualify you will receive a yellow Accessibility Pass, allowing you access to the ADA entrance for the rides. The ADA entrance will be noted by a blue sign. In most, but not all, cases this is the exit of the ride. Please wait until instructed by a Ride Operator to begin boarding.

Please note: the Alternate Access Program is good for the individual that receives the Ride Admission Pass and three (3) additional Guests. The individual with the pass must ride for the pass to be valid.

If granted admission into the Alternative Access Program, you will be able to initially board any attraction with a minimal wait. After riding certain attractions one time, you will be required to get a boarding time approximately equal to the wait time for that ride in the regular queue. You must wait until the given time to ride any other attraction that assigns wait times. You can only have one boarding time at any given time. You cannot ride the same ride that requires a wait time twice in a row without receiving a wait time. If we have stopped admitting Guests into the regular line for any reason, we will not admit Guests with an Accessibility Pass, either. This includes giving wait times or boarding with a time already assigned. Wait times must fall within regular park hours. You can ride any other attraction not listed below at any time. Rides that assign wait times after riding: Antique Cars, Pirate Ship, Polar Coaster, Dr. Geysers.
