Storyland Field Trips
Storyland is a magical setting for a child’s fantasies. Under the canopy of hundred-year-old oak trees, children will pretend to be their favorite fairy tale characters. They will frolic at life-size exhibits straight from the pages of children’s literature such as Captain Hook’s Pirate Ship, Cinderella’s Pumpkin Coach, Pinocchio's Whale, and Old King Cole’s Castle. Other stories depicted include Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel, the Little Prince, Little Miss Muffet, Alice in Wonderland, Jack and Jill, Snow White, Hey Diddle Diddle, the Little Mermaid, and Anansi the Spider. Transporting children out of the classroom into an exciting atmosphere offers an opportunity to strengthen education.
Seasonal. Wednesdays through Fridays. 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. $3 per person for groups of 20 or more. Call (504) 488-2896 or email cpsales@nocp.org for information.
