In December 2018 I visited the Magical Forest, a Christmas-themed Las Vegas wonderland.
I have lots of photos and tidbits from past Vegas trips that have never made it to my blog. I intended to write about my visit to a fabulous Christmas attraction, but I never did.
For the past week I have been watching YouTube videos by Jacob the Carpetbagger. I've been following his travels via YouTube for about five years. He has been in Vegas for the past week, sharing daily videos and gathering content for additional videos when he returns home. He was invited to a behind-the-scenes tour of Magical Forest, which reminded me that I have yet to share my simple cellphone photos from my visit.
Magical Forest is a seasonal attraction that needs no explanation. Take a look at my photos and video below and you'll have a pretty good idea. It's a fundraising event for Opportunity Village, an organization that provides vocational training, community employment and other services for adults with disabilities in the Las Vegas area. Its mission is close to my heart, so I was extra happy to visit in 2018.
It turns out they do a Halloween version of their forest, as well. I did not know this. You can put that on my to-do list during my next October visit to Vegas, whatever year that might be.
Here's Jacob's recent video of his Magical Forest tour:
And here, from 2018, is a collection of photos I took during my visit to the forest. I didn't take pictures of the amusement rides. There's a small collection of them within the property, including a cool carousel that is featured in Jacob's video.

| My photo isn't the best, but this is a tree sponsored by Penn and Teller. Notice the rabbit/top hat on top. |
And finally, here's a video I took, showing the musical light show discussed in Jacob's video:
