The Storybook Park has a varied collection of animals, such as a petting "zoo" of barnyard animals, to the tigers and cougars and other live animals. Throughout the Park, small models of the children's favourite stories such as the "Three Little Pigs", and "The House that Jack Built" are sprinkled along the winding path, delighting the young set. A small roller coaster and other "older" rides are in the works for next season, says owner Mike Greve. Storybook Park is fully wheelchair accessible. The activities continue at the park from May 24 to Thanksgiving weekend depending on weather. Seasonal camping in the adjacent campground is available for the summer months. The picnic area offers a great location for birthday parties, school groups, church groups, family reunions, and business groups. A special group rate is available and the small stage provides the opportunity for live entertainment. Strolling along the trail while the kids run off that extra energy before starting the trip home can be very peaceful and healthy. Storybook offers enough activity for an entire day trip of its very own, so your family will want to come back again soon. Owen Sound has many other locations of interest to visit — too many to possibly be mentioned, but some other choices are the Marine and Rail Museum, The Tom Thomson Art Gallery, Inglis Falls and the Grey-Sauble Conservation Authority grounds, the Bruce Trail, as well as other parks and recreation facilities too numerous to mention. To get in touch with our agricultural heritage is so important. Young people learn to value their "today" by learning about their "yesterdays". Visit Owen Sound and surrounding area for a "day trip" and have the experience of learning together! 0
