2016 was a much better experience! Going after Christmas probably helped to avoid the crowds, but it was still pretty busy on a weekday evening prior to New Years. Came with a friend for a dance event, and when that didn't go so great we ended up wandering the forest area for about an hour. The are several trees decorated by local area companies and organizations, very similar to the Christmas in the Park in San Jose. There's a cute path through the area, holiday tunes playing, and a festive feel to the grounds.
For kids, there are several rides available as well as photo ops with Santa. There are a few different food booths, as well as a gift shop upon exit. For adults (and teens!) with extra time during the holidays, volunteer shifts are available- you can get small gifts and a meal while you're on shift, and an admission ticket to use later. Opportunity Village does so much locally, and it's great to see that their holiday event has grown and improved!
