I've been to the Magical Forest the past 3 years and it's a-ok. The prices are kind of expensive for what it offers and I get its for a good cause but it's just kind of meh for me and my kiddos. Volunteers are never really helpful. No one could really answer questions I had about where certain things were so it was a bit frustrating. My kids had an okay time. I recommend going after Christmas as the crowds are not that big. Don't get me wrong, it's still pretty crowded but not as and its usually the rides that are packed with people. Also they have heaters everywhere but they were not on? And it was freezing from the time the park opened. They didn't end up turning it on till after 8:30, what's up with that?!
