Vegas: Opportunity Village Magical Forest

Opportunity Village is a well-loved Las Vegas destination and a fixture of the community. Funded in 1954 the not-for-profit organisation have been working to help members of our community with various disabilities through a wide variety of services- from arts and crafts classes to vocational training, community employment and more. They claim to be Las Vegas's favorite charity and they might very well be right. For the holidays Opportunity Village opens it's doors to the public and goes all out with their Magical Forest extravaganza, a festive holiday experience for the whole family! It's a lot of fun and there's so much to see and do, from carnival rides to a psychedelic 3D maze (it was intense and really fun, my kudos to the people who made it happen)...there's even a train! We had a lot of fun wandering through the illuminated corridors together. It was a brisk night out so I wore a unicorn onesie for warmth, which entertained a few people. Better warm than sick, right? #Unicornlife

The Magical Forest is only open for the holiday season, so if you'd like to visit you'll have to time it for then. It makes sense, of course! It's beautiful and I would recommend dropping by if you happen to find yourself in town in time. Since Opportunity Village is a not-for-profit organisation the cost of admission goes towards helping the people who need it, which is a nice feel-good perk. There's also ample hot beverages and food available both inside and outside the village, so if hunger strikes while you're out never fear! We had pretzels and hot cocoa along with some fancy cashews with a sweet and crunchy coating. It was all pretty tasty and fuelled us up to continue our adventure!

Until next time!
