There are over 100 positions available which may include ticket selling, working the activities and set-up. The staff will place volunteers at positions that need to be filled first based on the number of volunteers.

Tickets are only $2 paid at the gate which, opens at 10am each day that weekend. All proceeds will go directly to Storybook Island so the park can continue to provide free admission throughout the open season.
Storybook Island started in 1954 and is a unique park with fairytale themed playgrounds. It is a great place for families with young children. You can see its page here: http://storybookisland.org.
