Enchanted Forest Theme Park Review

Very enjoyable for my 4 grandkids ages 9, 7, 5 and 3. That loved it. Park is shaded, which is nice in the hot weather. You have to reserve a 3 hour time slot and keep social distancing which was not a problem. The whole park and bathrooms are very clean.

Enchanted forest: Amazing park. This park isn't the oldest or the biggest in the pacific northwest... Or the whole northwest if you count Silverwood... But it is probably the most underrated. I would have given it 5 stars but there are a few reasons I didn't... But first lets start with the positives: The family that created the park is still alive and you can still feel the full charm, The staff they hire are very friendly, and it feels more like a real enchanted place. I felt young as ever (Aside from my knees getting a little rugged from the hills...) and it isn't just the rides that are the fun of it. There was a little house with a wooden Slide... Which was VERY fast and fun... And I am an adult! They have those sack slides out of the shoe and just a bunch of fun little places to walk. Tunnels, the drunk house, the games and some of the little shows. (The fountain show was rad!) They also have a comedy theater which I didn't end up going to but it sounds pretty awesome. The log ride is actually a log ride and coaster hybrid. Meaning that the drops that you go through on them are actually pretty scary and fun for the adults but not too bad for the kids wanting to get their feet wet. The roller coaster there was fun too... But not their most thrilling ride... Fun for the kids but yea... Not for the thrill junky... Of course disneyland isn't really either... Not California adventure I am talking the actual park... Speaking of which Enchanted forest and the area seemed to have much more tourists and much more people due to Enchanted forests version of california adventure: Thrillville USA. (Closed in 2007.) Now the park flies solo. Anyways the challenge of mondor and the haunted house are pretty cool too... There is also no denying that even though it isn't the oldest park you can still tell that it is a classic... The ice mountain bobsleds from the 80s and the log ride from the 90s and the challenge of mondor from 2006... Anyways... So yes fun place for sure... Now for the negatives: THE PRICE THE PRICE THE PRICE! It is horribly expensive!!!!!!! You figure at the prices they charge they could open a new park where thrillville used to be or add some new rides or something! Sheesh! Is it worth it? Ehhh... I have to admit for the size of the park that is a VERY hard question to answer... And for only having 4 rides? Nah... Charging both admission and ride fees is actually a really crappy thing to do especially when you don't add anything new or take advantage of the space that opened up next to you... (Campground? New rides or a new add on to the park? Waterpark? Fire work show? SOMETHING could be done there!!!!! Rebuild the area there or add on to the park... Or the best thing: Bring those sky high prices down!!!!!!!! I would have given it 5 stars had I not had to pay 69.99 to get into a 4 ride theme park when I could pay less than 40 and go to oaks with more rides... Sure it's smaller but I mean Wild waves even has a 10 buck admission in some parts of may and they have many more things there too... Heck they are bigger! Parks that charge a higher rate than here are usually thrill junkie paradises like Silverwood, Magic mountain, Great america and knotts berry farm... Anyways you get the point.)

Great for toddlers up to age 7 or so, older kids may be bored. The plays they put on are great though, even older kids would enjoy those.

Cute little place for young kids. Lots of hiking around to do, so be prepared. Haunted house was a blast.

Discount Disney kiddos and Parents will have a blast be mindful that this park is built on a hillside and some paths are steep grade.

Fun family entertainment. Fun for all ages and affordable.

I went here with my friend's family we had sooo much fun there

AMAZING STAFF!!! Each member of the team we encountered was so helpful and kind!! Truly went above and beyond. We had a blast!! All of our kids from 3-11 all had a great time!!

Nice place to bring children ages 3 and older. Unless they are really tall, younger kids feel left out in some rides. Need more rides for young toddlers.

It was great when I was a child, and my kids love it now, great way to spend a Saturday

I loved it! My kids enjoyed. The whole park was surrounded with magnificent trees. I was enchanted. There was enough rides for the little ones without tiring them. Spent a good 4-5hrs there. It's one of the best little theme park I've visited.

I love this place I like the cricked house, ice mountain and log mountain

Just did our yearly visit and was SO pleased with everything they have done during the off season maintainance wise and to prepare to keep everyone safe and comfortable during the current pandemic.
We purchased our admission tickets the day before for 12pm, you're given a 3 hour time slot.
We had less than 5 minutes to wait at the gate, and all the staff were very friendly and welcoming.
It felt like we had the park to ourselves!
No lines, no waiting, and TONS of space.
We got to do all the open ride several times without wait and I saw staff sanitizing frequently.

Awesome place my kids love it I've always enjoyed it

It's a fun little place to take the family. The workers are polite, the place is clean. The attractions are a little dated, but it's a lot of entertainment for the young ones.

Fun for little kids. There are a few attractions/rides for adults.

I can t wait until this park is open again! I love everything about it, and yes the haunted house is really haunted.

Really just a wonderful place to take the kids. Go there. :)

Fantastic little theme park. Beautifully maintained and friendly staff!

Fun little amusement park to spend a few hours at. Great log ride.

Really fun place to take the kids. Lots to explore and the Rollercoaster is actually pretty good. Tickets are a bit pricey, so if that's what you're aiming for, buy a bracelet. You can bring your own food in for a picnic.

Cute designs and attractions for entire family. Helpful staff.

I love this place, I have been going here since I was little! When I heard that it had caught on fire, it was really disappointing , the food there is very good and the water show is cool! I love getting little gifs there too!

Excellent place to take children, though there are steep slopes to walk!

It was so cool I had so much fun if u ever go do the hunted house and the the log ride

Great fun for kids and family. Appreciate they have kept so much of the old portions of the park which is great for nostalgia as well as adding great new attractions. The wooded environment is perfect for sparking the imagination and it was so great to visit after so many years with the next generation

Great placefor the young one's to let they're imaginations run free! They love to see all they're fairytale characters in person (sorta )

Its haunted now, ghost aventures caught ghosts , but it was really fun. I want there this year.(2018):)

We ve been coming here for literal generations, and today we brought my son for his first visit. We love it here!

A great place to take your family on a summer or rainy day.

This place is great! Whenever a friend visits Salem, I invite them to the Enchanted Forest. The best way I describe it is that it's like Disney land but slightly off and more interesting -- like Shrek.

If you're going with kids, you're going to have a great time.

If you don't have kids (like my GF and I), add some mind-altering things like booze or legal enhancements and go for a fun walk. :-)

This was amazing. It's like discount Disney but semi creepy and more mystical. The rides were really fun and running through to the little houses and areas were really fun too. Lots to look at. Water light show was one of my favorite things to see. If you want something where you spend a lot of time discovering things then this is the place to go

We met up with family on the Fourth of July this year. I was amazed at how diligently they keep the park clean, so refreshing! I even watched an employee rush to help a woman at the main entrance eating area when she dropped a glass bottle and it shattered everywhere.

I also want to give a little shout out to the employees who put on a spectacular performance of 'Hansel and Gretel' in the outdoor theater. They were flawless, fearless and just simply impressive! From their dance routines and theatrical singing to puns and jokes so meticulously placed in the skit... Adults and kiddos were laughing non stop!

I will try to attach a photo from this performance so that if management reads this review they might give kudos to their wonderful team of employees. Thanks for making our day awesome! I look forward to making this a yearly tradition.

In the forest of story time. It is very well done on a smaller budget and to me there is still a lot of magic. And I still haven't figured out the maze.

Money well spent. I had fun even though I'm a grown adult.

Awesome place to spend a day. Not many rides but the decorations and themes are wonderful. Lots of a things included with the base price, but the rides range from 1 to 4 dollars extra. Unlimited wrist bands are available.

Always a good time. Cheaper than the fair but more fun.

Fantastic place for taking the little ones. I would say children of 3-6 would enjoy the most. Friendly staff. Place is relaxed and children-oriented. We did everything except for the log and ice mountain rides, lines were too long there. Everything else didn t require long wait. The western town was a bit out of place and fell to county fair cheesiness but tolerable. We spent most time at story-themed nursery rhymes- themed places, as well as bumper cars etc. Kiddo asks to go to enchanted forest every day!

I remember coming to Enchanted Forest as a kid and having an absolutely wonderful time. I was worried about taking my own kids for fear that the park wouldn't have been kept up and would pale in comparison to my memories. I was so pleasantly surprised that the park is in EXCELLENT shape! My old favorites were lovingly maintained and there were new attractions to fall in love with. The staff were above and beyond friendly and wonderful with the kids. My children had a magical time just as I had. Thank you so much for the loving upkeep of your charming park! We were also thrilled with the reasonable pricing and very palatable dining options.

My kids loved it. So much improved from when i was a kid going there. Great adventure space for kids 3 years and up.

Cheesy theme park with rides for little kids. It is a great way to spend the days with your little guys that are 8 and under.

Fabulous place to take your family or just by yourself excellent place to wonder around and chill in nature!

Why did I wait so long to visit? My kids love this place, but I think I love it more. Cool, clean, creepy, amazing---all of it true.

The rides are fun and manageable. I didn't have the icky Disney feeling about any of it. Good places to buy their food or have a picnic among the shade trees and picnic tables.

This place was awesome to take our kids. The rides are super fun and the whole place was an amazing adventure. We will definitely go back. I do have to say that some of the staff could have been more helpful though. Other then that it was amazing!

Had an exciting time with 1st time visitors! My mom took my girls and now I'm taking my granddaughters!

Such a great, inexpensive way to have fun as a family.

I just recently took my two year old son and 11 year old nephew. It was a blast from the past as it s been almost 20 years since I was here last!
It s not too far off from what I remember as a child. Very charming, quirky and a little creepy. I was disappointed that most of the staff did not seem to be happy to work here, which made me wonder about management. Also, though fun, the rides are expensive and short. None the less, I have a great appreciation for what this family did to create this place. I will go back when my son is a little older and not so creeped out by all the dolls.

Best in Oregon be prepared for a pack of noisy screeching kids. My kiddos have sensory issues that made the beginning a chore. I recomend earplugs and cash for some of the rides.

It has changed since I was a kid. But it was way fun!!!

Way way better than I could have expected. Our little one is 2+ and I was worried there wouldn't be enough rides and things for her to enjoy, but I was way wrong. I grew up going to Disney World and Land so I didn't know what to expect, but was super pleased to see our daughters eyes light up at the story book characters and toddler rides. The park is also very clean by any standard and the attention to detail is wonderful. Everyone (staff) is really friendly and attentive and whats more, they are proactive in helping patrons. 5 stars plus for the Enchanted Forest!

This place is absolutely one of my favorite places in Oregon. I grew up going here, so I have a nostalgia bias, but it's a really charming and interesting place to spend the day. I live out of state now, but whenever I'm home, I try to visit! The rides and themeing are great, and sometimes I'm happy just wandering around with some ice cream and listening to the music. So much work and talent has been poured into this park.

The Enchanted Forest was definitely worth the drive from Eugene! It is great for all ages to spend the day and not run out of things to do! The park is much bigger than it looks from the outside. Although a lot of it seems old, everything seemed to be working great and the rides were in great condition as well!

This place is so awesome! The kids all had fun and the husband and I enjoyed the weather (it's all shade and feels great even in august!) and the price tag! All around great time!

Attractions were solid and enjoyable, gift shops were well stocked, and wait times were not bad. It's a bit out of the way despite being so visible from the highway.

What a fun and "enchanting" place to visit. But seriously, for a small theme park, it really does make an impact. There aren't a whole lot of rides, but the park makes up for it with it's array of quirky character houses and themed parts of the park. Better constructed than any Six Flags I've ever seen and the people are way more friendly and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed it and will be going back with friends!

This place was great. Was very interesting for all ages!

Wonderful place to visit for curious people of all ages! Definitely recommend getting tickets doe the rides, bumper boats, and haunted house. Really enjoyed the live music (the band Possibly Irish) as well.

Kids had a wonderful time. Small theme park with mostly kiddy rides. Admission prices and ride tickets affordable. Not Disneyland by all means but you will appreciate what the park offers. My family did! Plus food doesn't cost an arm and a leg, simple basic American foods: hotdogs, pizza, chilli, sandwiches ECT. Worth a visit.

So awesome!!! The haunted house actually scared me, Haha.

Pretty pricey for such a run down place. But, there's something magical about an old amusement park in the forest. My kids and I loved it, but I wished it was cheaper. However, it's cool that you can re-sell any unused tickets for full price on your way back out.

Was great really wish afew of the slide were open wonderful preference by the theater always a hit.. The water music show is a nice place to sit relax get a bite to eat. 3 generation i came so many times i love it so i started bringing my kids in and now my grandkids they've added so much fun stuff rides are great western town i hope you never sell or close your doors thank you family/ owners of enchanted forest

Great for our four young children. Clean and staffed very well.
