Opportunity Village transforms the Magical Forest into “HallOVeen” fun during weekends in October

Taking place on weekends from 5-9 p.m., this family friendly event will feature lots of fun games, events and entertainment for all ages.

Enjoy nightly parades, crafts and movies, Spookley the Square Pumpkin Storytelling Fridays, Scary-oke Saturdays, the Candy Cabin and the Magical Midway.

For the first time ever, the Magical Forest will be decked out in Halloween finery, beckoning ghouls and goblins with rides and attractions including The Haunted Adventure by Santino and Rocco Panaro, the Spooktacular Forest Express Passenger Train, Cheyenne’s Enchanted Carousel, the Slightly Scary Snowflake Slide and Boris the Elf’s 3D Experience.

Days of operation are: October 4-6; 11-13; 18-20; 25-27 (Friday through Sunday.)

Tickets can be purchased online at http://www.hallOVeen.com, or in person at the Magical Forest ticket office.

Guests can walk through a massive creature in an attraction called the Haunted Adventure.

Instead of Halloween, it’s called HallOVeen, the OV standing for Opportunity Village.

The Magical Forest is fun for kids of all ages. A great place for parents to bring their children to be in an atmosphere that is both safe and fun this Halloween season.

Even if you don’t have kids of your own, it is worth making the trip. My husband and I enjoyed taking a leisurely stroll through the Magical Forest and enjoyed remembering our own childhood.

To satisfy your sweet tooth, candy stations are set up throughout the forest. Much to my delight they had Dots!
