Opportunity Village
Magic Forest |
The Magical Forest is a wonderful experience for “kids” of all ages. From the moment you enter you are enchanted by the sights and sounds of the holiday season. From strolling through decorated trees and displays to photos with Santa and nightly entertainment, there is something for everyone. Visitors can enjoy a ride on our passenger train "The FOREST EXPRESS" which winds it way through the two acre Forest giving visitors another angle to view the many trees and displays.
The Magical Forest is facilitated 70-90 volunteers a night including numerous members of the North Las Vegas Fire Department. ALL Proceeds raised at the Magical Forest will benefit people with disabilities at Opportunity Village located here in the Las Vegas Valley (6300 West Oakey Blvd.). Since 1954 Opportunity Village has been serving men and women in our community to provide them with programs and services to help enrich their lives.
