⚡️A Magical Adventure in the Harry Potter Forbidden Forest Experience 🕷️
@hpforbiddenforestexperience
📍 McKinney Roughs Nature Park, 1760 State Hwy 71, Cedar Creek, TX
📅 November 9-December 19
⏰ 5:45-9:45pm
👧All ages welcome. Babies 2 and under are free. This wasn’t too scary for my kids, but there are spiders if those freak you out!
🎁 This would make a fantastic experience gift!
🚗 Requires a pre-purchased parking pass
🥾 The experience is rain or shine and all outdoors so wear comfortable shoes that could get dirty!
⚡️Harry Potter costumes encouraged!
🛞 Bring wagons or jogging strollers (no umbrella strollers). Trail is made of stones.
🕰️ We spent 2 hours here total and at least 40 minutes of that was in the food area in the beginning and at the end. The trail itself took us about an hour and a half. We got refreshments before and after the trail.
🚽 The toilets are clean and like elevated portapotties. Best case scenario!
🎟️ Use the link in my bio and my code: FFAUSTIN10 for 10% off tickets if you buy them before Dec 10!
🤩Real talk/honest opinion: we absolutely loved this event! I read the entire series to my big boys a couple of years ago and we watched all the movies. It was magical to experience the Harry Potter world in this way. My youngest hasn’t read the books or seen the movies but he still had an excellent time casting spells and strolling through the forest. You can spend at the very least 2 hours here which makes it worth the price of tickets in my opinion. We love a good interactive experience and this one had plenty of opportunities for things like casting spells and greeting the characters. There are plenty of treats to add to the experience as well. Highly recommend!
