UNLV Night at Magical Forest Dec. 7

Join us Dec. 7 for a UNLV night out this winter at Opportunity Village's Magical Forest!

The Magical Forest is a holiday theme park filled with magically decorated trees, rides, a mini golf course, midway games, and the famous Forest Express Train that winds through the Magical Forest. Enjoy a holiday evening surrounded by sparkling lights, nightly entertainment, tasty treats, and special surprises. Santa is on site every night, so plan those photos with Santa at Opportunity Village! Need a break from the action? There’s plenty of shopping at The Holiday Shoppe and Neon Kiosks. Make a night of it and enjoy dinner and treats inside Camelot Hall or out on the main thoroughfare at one of our many food outlets. A beer garden is open select evenings for the 21+ crowd. Celebrate the 33rd season of the Magical Forest with us in 2025!

All proceeds from attending the Magical Forest go to Opportunity Village to help empower, employ and serve people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the Las Vegas community.

This is an outdoor event, so please dress for the weather.

Magical Forest is open from 5:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. Please check in at the UNLV Alumni Association table between 5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.

Tickets to the Magical Forest are $20 each and can be purchased online.
