Storybook Gardens opens for the season on May 16, 2026!
Kick off summer where the fun begins.
Storybook Gardens is owned and operated by the City of London.
THE PARK AND RIDES WILL BE OPENING LATER DUE TO A PRIVATE RENTAL.
Summer general admission is $10.70 per person — kids, grown‑ups, and everyone in between. Little ones under 24 months get in free.
Your admission unlocks a whole world of kid‑approved fun: bounce on the Jumping Pillow, dig into the Hands in the Sand play zone, explore Adventure Island, wander through Gnorbert’s Garden, cool off at the On The Riverbank Splash pad and play pretend in the Miniature Village.
Heads‑up: ride tickets aren’t included with admission, but you can easily grab them when you arrive. Our Carousel and Train will operate daily (weather permitting)
And that’s not all — your visit also includes our signature programming: character meet‑and‑greets, lively stage shows, dance parties, storytelling sessions, garden happenings, and plenty more surprises.
Check out our calendar to see what’s coming up next and start planning your perfect day. And yes — your picnic baskets, snack packs, and favourite homemade goodies are welcome inside the park.
Pre‑registration is encouraged (spaces disappear fast), so hop over to our ticket page to save your spot.
If you’d rather skip the rush, swing by during our twilight hours — fewer crowds, and a sweet discounted price.
The Fun Starts here 11:30am -8pm
Twilight hours 5pm - 8pm
