Tips & Advice
- Arrive early or choose an earlier timeslot on Saturday if attending with very young children, as the afternoon slots are ideal for those who might be anxious in the dark.
- Wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes suitable for walking an unpaved forest trail, as the path is approximately half a mile long.
- Flashlights are not permitted as the trail is lit by solar-powered lanterns and jack-o'-lanterns, so embrace the natural (and magical) illumination.
- Consider dressing children as their favorite animal to further enhance their participation and enjoyment of the Enchanted Forest theme.
- Register early, especially for popular timeslots, as this long-standing fall tradition is known to sell out.
