Magic Forest, Lake George NY

Highly disappointing and extremely over priced! Went there during which I could only imagine as “off season” as it was after Labor Day and only half the rides were open, part of it as under construction and none of the shows or music as going and we STILL HAD TO PAY FULL PRICE! Don’t waste your time or money.

It's perfect for kids 8ish and younger. Just enough to do without overwhelming them. The staff has to be the friendliest and most helpful of any park I have gone to. We will be going back again.

Kind of a weird review but my family was on vacation and got into an accident right in front of this business. Not only did they let my family come in with all our bags and wait, they were so kind and helpful and even let our dog come inside and out of the rain! I appreciate the kindness that was shown to us during such a stressful time. Kids ate some good food while they were there! Just so thankful for their kindness!

Kids had a blast. Very old rides but was fun if you have a toddler. Big kids may not enjoy. Dinosaur park was amazing. Good day out.

What an absolutely amazing amusement park! I just spent 5 hours exploring this amazing park with my four and six-year-old today. We did most of the rides, several times over, Dino Roar Valley (which was unbelievable), saw a magic show AND met Santa! He has a cute little workshop where we made Christmas ornaments, wrote him a letter and put it Santa mailbox. I was worried that the park wouldn't have a lot of rides or would be too "babyish" for my kids but my worries were put to rest once I pulled into the parking lot. AND what you see from the roads/parking lot is just the tip of the iceberg. This amusement park is under the cover of this amazing forest so you're not walking around in the beating Sun all day, it's cool, comfortable, it was not crowded and my kids were able to go on most of the rides over and over again. Once or twice I had to go on a ride because my daughter is only 40 inches, I believe 48 inches rides without an adult, but there was only two rides out of the 10+ rides that they went on that they need me to go with her. There were some that we didn't even get to! We've been coming to Lake George for 3 years and I can't believe I never knew about this park until now. WE WILL BE BACK again and again and again. The price is $40 per person / child and kids under two are free. They have a Snack Shack with very pleasant employees where you can get popcorn, cotton candy, water, slushies, soda, hot food all for a very very reasonable price. Two kids popcorn, a regular box of popcorn and two large drinks was $12. The magic show was cute, the magician even called a few of the kids on stage so it made them feel really special. Last but not least, the dinosaurs are not to be missed! It's a bit of a walk down around and back up a path through the forest but just the sight of them with the animatronics was stunning. They even have a little show towards the end of the path that's cute for kids and nice to sit and take a break. It's in an open seating theater outside and they even bring out a "real dinosaur" (Roary). There is a huge parking lot in front with no charge to park, every single employee we came in contact with was helpful and friendly. The park is clean, kept up and you can tell that they care about maintaining the appearance and the rides so they give each guest the best experience. All of these attractions, rides and shows were well worth the $40 per person admission price. Just a wonderful place to spend the day!

Pros: The rides are age appropriate. They have food and snacks for adults and kids. Right outside of Lake George, quick to get tickets. You can ride some of the rides with your child.

Cons: Not enough staff to operate all the rides. Some of the rides weren't fully functional. The park appeared a bit run down. Needs a face lift.

Conculsion: Overall, our experience was pleasant, the staff was really nice, our 3 year old had a blast. The food was decent, and the time spent there was worth it. Would recommend.

Perfect little adventure for a one and a half year old. He could go on many rides alone and I joined him for a few. The staff was friendly and accommodating. It wasn’t very busy so we didn’t wait for any rides. The Dino park was awesome! Lots of shade. One of my only recommendations is to provide some sort of info regarding the Dino park - some of the hills were a bit challenging for one of my family members. The amusement park portion has an older feel and some of the old attractions that no longer work could be discarded (the horse pool area) but overall a great experience!

What a gem. Perfect day of fun for a young child. Almost all of the rides are for little kids. Both shows were fun - even for adults. The food is reasonably-priced and satisfying. The dinosaur animatronics are incredible. Everyone who worked there was out-of-their-way friendly and welcoming.

We loved the dinosaur part of the park the most! Perfect for kids and anyone who loves dinosaurs. Stroll through the forster where you can hear and see real-life moving dinosaurs There is a playground, fossils site where kids can play in the sand, and a nice craft activity building. Hike through the forest is paved so good for strollers/wheelchair, and it is mostly shaded. There are benches and restrooms. We loved it there and spent a good couple of hours. Worth visiting:)

What a nice little amusement park that brings back memories of yesteryear! The dinos are amazing! Animatronics! Snack bar was not overpriced and the ride lines were not long at all. Will definitely go back again. A+. They take cash or card.

Great activity for the family. We attended with children aged 3-9 and they all had a blast. Lots of different carnival rides to choose from.

Tickets were expensive however and the food was really bad. I would recommend packing a lunch.

If you’re a group, be sure to buy the tickets in advance because they won’t allow group bookings the day of.

Perfect amusement park for little kids. The place is geared towards those under 10. Lots of kiddie rides and a nice dinosaur trail. Most of the rides are antiques sourced from around the country, very nostalgic but also means the rides look a little rickety. Overall, Kids loved it and would recommend.

Granville school took their class feild trip here for 1st and kindergarten, they closed the whole park down at 2: 00 P. M just after the buses left despite many people staying with their kids after. Last year they closed at 4: 00 P. M with the same field trip, which was alot more respectable. They also increased their admission price by 50% for this year. Rating one star for being super stingy. Rising prices and closing earlyer. Very disappointed.

Horrible customer service. And the manager/owner is sooo rude and unprofessional. Dont bring your kids especially if they have a sensory problem or a disability. Not a safe place

Definitely great for little kids but park is really old and needs a lot of maintenance. Rides weren't open and didn't have enough staff to run them. The dino area is absolutely gorgeous so much fun for everyone.
