| - Last night my wife, son (4), daughter (2), and myself ventured into the Magical Forest. We just moved to the area in August so this was our first time in this enchanted wonderland of lit trees. We bought our tickets online, so no wait (I highly recommend this). We walked right into the park. Our first adventure was through the Magical Forest to look at the lights. My son absolutely loved it, but could not get his mind off the pretty cool looking train that kept passing by and blowing its whistle.
This is where the Magical Forest lost their five star rating for me. In order to ride any of the rides you must by tickets (unless you have a wristband). I did not mind buying the tickets but I do believe that Opportunity Village should make sure their volunteers understand the policies in their own park. I wanted to buy tickets for our whole family to ride the train and for my son to ride the carousel. He told me I would need four tickets for the train and two for the carousel because if I got on with him to make sure he did not fall off his hours it would cost me a ticket two. So, we go on the train, it was great, short, but pretty cool none the less. Then we walk over to the carousel, interestingly guess how many tickets are required to ride the carousel? Zero, Zip, Nada. We were never even asked for tickets. So, now I have bought two tickets I do not need. It is for a good cause so I am okay with the money part, just wish I wasn't give incorrect information to begin with. Each ticket is $3, so for someone who can barely afford to bring their kid here $6 could have been a big deal. Nevertheless, my wife and son went through the Boris the Elf 3D Adventure and it was apparently pretty awesome. I would recommend a visit to this Magical Forest.
