Yes it is OLD! It's supposed to be nostalgic. We love it there for the fact it is "old." This park is definitely for children ages 2 to 6. I absolutely do not agree with the price of admission for the adults being so ridiculously high. There is not anything to do for adults, and there shouldn’t be, this park... More

We are 2 adults that love amusement parks whether for wee ones or the big ones. Magic Forest is a park where children can use their imagination and enjoy a park with their family. It's not crowded like the bigger theme parks with big rides. We saw the magic show which was a lot of funs. Kids volunteered to be... More

Don't expect this to be a thrill ride park. The little one will love it.!! Sure it old and a bit tired but its reasonable, lovable, clean and excellent family young uns entertainment. My grandchildren went until they were 8 yrs old. It's a classic and don't you rate it, let the kids do that!

My wife and I were not fortunate enough to have children. However, we make a special effort to attend this park each and every year since the 1980's. Like the Great Escape (StoryTown) it holds a special place in our hearts and memories. The people that work and entertain there are nice and helpful. The food is Good. The animals... More

Makes me sad. Want to go in to see the diving horse & can't get into the park unless you have a kid. Huh??? Poor policy!

We were on the safari train when the engine failed on final hill and the train nearly went rolling down into a steep ravine. Fortunately, the young driver managed to steer back wheel into a rock. The train jack-knifed and all were OK, but very shaken up. Managers are unprofessional and incompetent. They did not respond to driver's pleas for... More

If your kids are younger, I would say under 7 and they like rides and amusements, this is a good place to take them. By todays standards it is not over-priced. Too many of todays amusement parks are not worth the money. Just about every ride is a ride that you can take the little ones on depending of course... More
