Glen, NH (July 7, 2026) –  Story Land is bringing back its fan-favorite Nostalgia Nights for a sixth season across four Saturday nights this summer, plus one Saturday this fall, promising unforgettable evenings for the young at heart. Nostalgia Nights are a chance for adults to experience the joy that Story Land has to offer including rides, characters, games, and more, all while leaving the kids at home.  

 

On July 11, July 25, August 8, August 22, and October 10, the park will open its gates from 5 p.m. until 10 p.m. exclusively for ages 21 and over to kick back and relax in the Place Where Fantasy Lives. Guests can meet Cinderella in her castle, giggle on the Tea Cups, then cruise down the Polar Coaster, get festive face paint, groove to live music, and sip a cocktail. Each Nostalgia Night offers a full lineup of entertainment, including a live band, foam party with a DJ, pathway performers, and more. Adult beverages are available including craft beers, seltzers, margaritas, and boozy slushies. Beloved theme park bites will also be available for purchase including popcorn, ice cream cones, and fried dough - all sure to satisfy cravings from the good ole days. 

 

Guests looking for the ultimate Nostalgia Night experience can purchase the all-new VIP Package, complete with early admission to the park beginning at 2 p.m. on the day of the event, a meal and beverage of their choice, a free photo from a ride like Bamboo Chutes or Roar-O-Saurus, and the Unlimited TimeSaver pass – Story Land’s all-new offering allowing guests to spend less time waiting in line at popular attractions.  

 

“We’re thrilled to once again open our gates for the young at heart this summer,” said General Manager Chris Kearsing. “Nostalgia Night has quickly become a tradition among New Englanders as it allows adults an evening of carefree fun, and our entire team looks forward to hosting these nights each year.” 

 

2026 also marks the grand return of the Turtle Twirl, now open in a new location in the park, and Crazy Barn, reopening later this summer in its original location. Both rides were removed ahead of the 2024 season to make way for the park’s largest capital investment ever, Moo Lagoon.  

 

Those who wish to attend Nostalgia Night can save 40% on dated tickets now or save $20 for a limited time and get admission to all five Nostalgia Nights with a Gold Season Pass.
