The Magical Forest is a winter wonderland with millions of sparkling lights, exciting rides, great food and endless holiday cheer.

In 2024, the Magical Forest will celebrate its 32nd season. For more than three decades, Opportunity Village has welcomed families and friends from across the globe, and with every dollar spent at the Magical Forest, visitors are helping Opportunity Village fund programs and services for over 3,000 people with disabilities. So while you warm your hands on a cup of hot cocoa from Camelot Hall, you can also warm your heart knowing you are making a positive impact on someone’s life.
The Magical Forest is a 2.5-acre theme park filled with magically decorated trees, rides, a round of 8-hole golf surrounded by sparkling lights, nightly entertainment, holiday treats, a vendor village, and midway carnival games. Need a break from the action? There’s plenty of shopping to be had at The Holiday Shoppe and Neon Kiosks. Make a night of it and enjoy dinner and treats inside Camelot Hall or out on the main thoroughfare at one of our many food outlets. A Beer Garden is open select evenings for the 21+ crowd.

This is an outdoor event, so please dress for the weather.

The Magical Forest is located at 6300 West Oakey Blvd., Las Vegas, NV 89146
