Only thing was they had no merchandise like shirts for children just stuffed animals.had a very fun time ‼️‼️‼️‼️♥️♥️♥️

The Harry Potter™: A Forbidden Forest Experience is one of those experiences that never gets old! My family did it 4 years ago, so I’m really happy they brought it back. The rain actually made the experience even more magical, with the mist adding such a cool, dreamy vibe to the whole night. It felt even more enchanting, and I’m so glad I got to experience it again!

In short Overview

Walk into the depths of a dark forest, rediscover magical creatures, interactive spells, and some of the most iconic moments from the beloved Harry Potter™ film series. Set in beautiful woodland, this experience has been brought to life by award-winning theatrical designers and experiential creators.

This is a family experience, but some elements — low-light woodland scenes and spider-themed moments — may feel a little spooky for more sensitive guests. Let staff know on arrival if you have arachnophobia so we can help you avoid spider-themed elements.
