Magical Forest and HallOVeen at Opportunity Village

Just went here last night, December 21st. It was definitely so beautiful, with amazing detail in the decorations. When we first got there, the line was as long as the parking lot. We got through the line quickly. We found out it's cheaper to buy your tickets online rather than at the box office. The people running the event were very nice. They helped us find the bathroom and guided us through the forest. Every kids ride or activity costs extra money. So, for adults, there is a lot of waiting and screaming children. There is a beer garden, but there were like two people there. It was deserted. They had heat lamps, but not enough. I was cold most of the time. Definitely wear multiple layers in the winter! I recommend the Magical Forest if you need something to do with the kids before Christmas. People without kids, this may not be for you.

What a fun experience. Brought the kids on Christmas Eve and had such a good time seeing the lights and enjoying the Christmas spirit. All the volunteers were excellent. Carousel, slide and other small rides all included. The cookies and hot chocolate hit the spot! Highly recommended.

We went sat the 26th...So I've been going every year for the past 6 years, we go to both Halloween and Xmas time! This year I feel the decorations were better. They've improved many areas around the park. There was a few new attractions for the kids, I put in the photos.... Something that concerned me, this park is being sold WAY past it's capacity, to a dangerous point. If there was a fire or panic, you have thousands of people flooding to exits at once.. the park use to be easy to get through. Maybe next year they need to be open more days and limit the tickets per day to avoid this kind of cluster madness. We most likely won't return unless there's a form of crowd control. I'd rather pay extra and not have this kind of over crowding. It goes to a good cause so I'd hate not being able to attend. But this was difficult to get through ESPECIALLY for people with special needs kids and wheel chairs!

We come here every year with our company event. The kids absolutely love all the beautiful lights and enjoy the hot cup of hot cocoa. The rides are fun but geared towards younger kids. This is definitely a magical place!!!!

This was SO Disappointing. So tickets are expensive, food is half portion size and has doubled in price but the workers are what did it in for us besides being SO RUDE they had no ideal about reading orders or customer service. First experience was this girl with the red headband should NOT be allowed to volunteer or deal w the public!!! She was beyond rude rolled her eyes when asked a question and had ATTITUDE like we have NEVER seen or been treated so badly by a person!! We asked a question about the cappuccino and she not only rolled eyes bend rolling her eyes the whole time she walked away mad grabbed the ingredient bag and started reading the ingredients. WOW we were all shocked!!! We are not sure if you do background checks on these people. Diner Dan’s the young kids working behind the counter was rude messed up everyone’s orders the SODAS ARE WARM over priced the fries weren’t even filled 10 fries we counted for 5.00 the cheeseburger was cold and the cheese wasn’t even melted it was horrible and that was 10.00 the soda was 3.00 so one meal was 18.00 for warm soda cold cheeseburger with cheese not even melted fries 10 pieces NO NAPKINS for 6 people when we went back to the window the girl was rude we tried to have our food fixed they gave one order chicken fingers that we DIDNT even order they took our receipt we had to demand it back and we read it to them they wanted to ARGUE WOW you should NOT have these kids working!!!!! Then we asked for napkins for 6 people and they gave us 1 we will NOT be returning after being treated like this we had senior citizens with us NO seating outside the seated for people to eat outside was SO SAD less than 10 tables the live carols singing was NOT a great idea because it limited the walking space for people with wheelchairs and canes or walkers all these kids are left running all around from parents who don’t care than the volunteers kids again that are posted by the displays weren’t even watching they were on their phones too many people with no supervision going on we will NEVER return unless this changes we went on 12-7-2024 arrived time was 5:30 ordered food 6pm.
