We have come here every year we go to LG. My kids love this place. It is designed for THEM, which makes it cool. I remember that my parents used to take us here, and it is still the same: GREAT PLACE FOR KIDS. The staff is VERY FRIENDLY. As soon as we walk into the ticket house, the person... more

We visited the Magic Forest with our 5 year old twins, 3 year old, a 2 year old friend & her mom (with a newborn), and 3 grandparents. I had been there years ago as a child, but haven't been back since. I read the reviews on here, and was actually a little scared of what we would encounter. What... more

I had guest visiting from the Midwest. 2 adults(military personnel) & 1 child. They thought this would be a nice place to visit. Upon paying for admission, Adult #1 asked if Magic Forest gave Military discounts. The attendant said" Magic Forest doesn't give discounts" I thought that this was very odd being that this park has probably this areas largest... more

Magic Forest is the perfect place to take your young kids. At the larger amusement parks my kids (ages 2 and 4) can't ride most of the rides. But at magic forest the rides are all for them, so they think its awesome. They also have no problem with parents riding with younger children, and encourage it in some cases.... more

If you went to Carson City in the Catskills, Frontier Town, Gaslight Villiage in Lake George and you had a good time as a child then you'll enjoy Magic forest and so will your little one. As a child I enjoyed Magic Forest and all listed above, I even enjoyed Story Town, Big business came along and ate up the... more

As I stated in my last review I had planned to return to the Magic Forest, and did so sooner than I thought we would due to change in traveling plans. We went to Lake George the week of 8/22 through 8/29 and the MF parking lot was crowded everyday. We took advantage of their arrive after 3 the next... more

I was hesitant to visit here with my wife a 5-yr old daughter after reading some of the other reviews here, but we had heard good things about Magic Forest from people we trusted so we gave it a shot. Our daughter loved it. There were short waits (if any) for the rides and they were all running. I was... more

We've been to Magic Forest 3 or 4 times, the last being this August and kids love it every time. Never had a problem with rides not operating. Sometimes you might have to wait a few minutes because usually one operator handles two rides; however, it's a very minor inconvenience. There are never any crowds and kids get to go... more

I was very leary about going here after reading all the negative reviews. I am so glad we went. My 5 year old LOVED it as did my 2 year old. I have no idea what the other reviewers were talking about. The place was very clean and the workers were really firendly. All of the rides were operating and... more

We went to Magic Forest a few years ago. I don't mind the fact that it's outdated, since I'm into retro type things. It was like entering a time capsule. The train ride tour of the mobile home park was a kick though. My wife and I died laughing. The worst part was the horse. Yeah, lots has been said... more
