This was our very first time at the Magical Forest. The staff from Opportunity Village were great, super friendly. We visited the first weekend of December. We paid the $20 option, which included all the rides (carousel, mini golf, slide, train & mini racetrack bikes) and the beautifully decorated Magical Forest. Its a great place to take the kids, we were with my bestfriend, her 7yr old and we had our 1yr old son and it was perfect for all of us. We took pictures w/ Santa, paid $16 or so for a 5x7. Since it was earlier in the month there wasn't a wait for pics w/ Santa which was great. They snap a bunch of pics and you choose the one(s) you want from their computer. We stopped in their little cafeteria area and bought a hot cocoa for $1.50. It would have been a little nicer to have more vendor choices for food & drinks but all in all we had a wonderful time and we'll be sure to come back again next year.
