Children’s Storybook Garden & Museum - Museum in Hanford - 175 E 10th St, USA

To the delight of all of us, especially my 9 year-old grandson, we visited this darling museum and loved every bit of it. Each house tells a different story, like Charlotte’s Web, Three Little Pigs, etc, and even has a small creek the kiddos can put their feet in. The 100 year-old house even has a picture hanging of it from that long ago. I was told to come back in the Spring as that is when the grapes are growing and can be eaten directly from the vines, so that is what we’ll do. It was an awesome place to visit and we can’t wait to return.

Such a good experience for the kids. Outside creek was great for kids to splash around in because it was so hot. Employees were super nice and friendly, making sure we were comfortable.

I set up my daughter’s birthday party here for three hours. The whole area is beautiful, kid-friendly, and has so much to offer. When I rented the stone cottage with the secret garden, I was able to get a jump house for my daughters and the children attending the party. I also had balloons, party favors, and food for my guests. About halfway through my paid for rental, I had other people from another party entering into my party to grab cupcakes and balloons. I had other adults and their children invading my daughter’s birthday jump house. And people even came in while we were picking up after our guests and asked us if we worked there. In total, my husband and I paid $450 for three hours and our privacy was invaded upon. I know it’s not Storybook’s fault that other guests from another party felt the need to invade upon us but I feel that there should have been some sign or something stating that there was a party for a certain time on a certain day. That is the only issue I had at this location. Everything else was amazing, that is why I gave a four star rating.

Based around a series of small model houses, the StoryBook Museum is an educational center and playground rolled into one. With lots of fun games to try out, it’s a great place to take the kids for some off-the-wall educational activities. The museum and its gardens are supposed to inspire children to read, and have a range of literary themes. Charlotte’s Web, the Three Little Pigs, and Peter Rabbit are all well-represented classics here. It also has a lovely area dedicated to Monet and his unique style of painting. Its diverse selection of themed gardens will delight kids and adults alike and allow you to learn more about agriculture in one of America’s most fertile regions.

Our day trip to Hanford included a visit to this very special place for the kids and a great way to rest after lunch and ice cream. Thank you to the staff for being so friendly. We will stop and see you again.

Took our kids here many times. Especially during the height of the pandemic. Thank you to the staff for providing a safe place for our kids!

It was super cute. A little cramped for my liking but an awesome use of space. Price was right, $7 for me and my 3 year old.

Nice little houses for kids to play in, lots of flowers, and it was nice to pick some fruit and veggies to snack and bring home.
