come experience the magic...welcome to the Hampton Inn & Suites-Aberdeen. Once home to L. Frank Baum, author of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Aberdeen, South Dakota is - few would argue - a wonderful place in its own right. Springing to life in the late 1800's as railroad lines progressed westward, Aberdeen has grown to become a culturally diverse city with a fascinating history, a limitless future and quite a story to share.When you visit the Hampton Inn & Suites® Aberdeen, make your first stop Storybook Land. The theme park features characters from classic works of children's literature, including famous folks from Aberdeen's own L. Frank Baum's Wizard of Oz. Make time to visit Wylie Park, too. Just outside the gates of Storybook Land and minutes from our hotel in Aberdeen, Wylie Park features picnic and swimming areas as well as a world-class zoo
