Originally opened in the 1960s, The Enchanted Forest is a wonderful, charmed place for people of all ages to step right into their favourite fairy tales – Goldilocks and her friends, the Bear family; Snow White and her dwarfs; that silly cow jumping over the moon; castles; wizards working their magic; Humpty Dumpty high on his wall; fairies; toadstools; the tallest treehouse you’ve ever seen; and so much more. There’s magic around every corner.

Walking along the main trail through the forest, you’ll see something new and exciting everywhere you look. And don’t discount the natural beauty all around – The Enchanted Forest is set within the old growth forest of BC’s Monashee Mountains, which, if you ask me, makes your journey that much more magical!
