Take a turn in Alice’s teacups or whirl in a whale at Story Land, the early childhood mecca nestled in the White Mountains. In the fairy tale land where things are upside down and 4-year-olds reign supreme, take a break in playgrounds, chill with storybook characters, or sit ringside at the circus. The show, it seems, never ends.

Story Land, Route 16, Glen, N.H., 603-383-4186, www.storylandnh.com, ages 3 and up $25.
