Situation
The Big Idea: Words Create Worlds
Storyville Gardens aims to create a unique theme park experience that brings beloved stories from various cultures to life. The goal is to craft an immersive environment where visitors can engage with classic and folk tales from Africa, America, Asia, and Europe. The challenge was to design a space that seamlessly combines these diverse narratives with innovative attractions and engaging experiences.
Solution
Bringing Eclectic Stories from the Seven Seas to Life Through Cutting-Edge Innovation
The Storyland team developed a concept where visitors can embark on their own adventures, crossing the “Seven Seas” to explore different cultural tales. The design integrates cutting-edge innovations, culinary delights, and live entertainment to provide unforgettable edutainment experiences. By creating an eclectic mix of storytelling, the park promises to offer something for everyone, allowing guests to choose their adventure based on personal interests and imagination.
Transformation
An All-Ages Destination in Development, Coming Soon to Middle Tennessee
With the concept design phase complete, Storyville Gardens is moving forward with property selection by Guerrier Development. A site announcement was expected in early 2022, with construction beginning in mid-2022. Scheduled to open in 2025, the park is poised to become a landmark destination, offering a vibrant tapestry of stories and experiences that celebrate cultural diversity and creativity.
