Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin - Storybook Gardens

Storybook Gardens is under new ownership. The new owner breeds and raises exotic animals on a ranch in central Wisconsin. The benefit is the new combined exotic animal zoo called Timbatavi Wildlife Park and Storybook Gardens.

The owner's staff have worked hard at rebuilding the former storybook attractions, getting rid of the seedy and obnoxious clown and Miss Muffet (I expected to see them on America's Most Wanted any moment), and rebuilt the railroad and the carousel. A great stop if you have little ones in tow. [Lawrence Fisher, 11/24/2006]

From this season, Storybook Gardens (a Wisconsin Dells perennial since 1956) will be relaunched as "Timbavati Wildlife Park @ Storybook Gardens," the former having been previously located next to the Kalahari Waterpark Resort. [Larry Ellis Reed, 04/12/2004]
