Harry Potter - A Forbidden Forest Experience

We did this last year and it was so much fun! Like everyone else, I love Harry Potter and the world of it. We went on a night where it was raining and chilly and it just perfectly set the vibe. The only problem we had was the parking was not super clear and would have been better with better signage. But overall, it was a great experience for fans of any age!

Lace up your comfy shoes for this unique adventure! This traveling experience is currently located just north of Frisco at Little Elm beach.If you are an above average fan, the price tag and amount of outdoor walking likely won't deter you. If you are just looking for something different but haven't seen at least 3 of the movies, I would be tempted to pass.We were lucky and had perfect weather for the 1-1.5 trail. I noticed that they had a small coat check but we kept our jackets just in case. The trees significantly reduce the wind so people were shedding jackets and wishing we brought a wagon to carry them and bottled waters.Saturday night ran us $72 for adults, $57 for kids, $5 for parking, $7-8 hot chocolates and $8-13 cake pops. Shortly upon entering, I sensed that the price tag wasn't going to justify the experience for some of our group. We had a former superfan, about 3 years from the height of her obsession. She enjoyed it the most but still thought the price and distance could have been reduced.Follow the concrete trail and you'll enjoy some scenes from the movie along with a few audio snippets. The lights are well done and the few interactive stops were the most appreciated by our youngest fans. At these stations, there are a few wands to use for the wand dual or casting a spell.It isn't scary and kids and older people seemed to do fine strolling the path in the dark. The staff spaced groups out so you aren't shoulder to shoulder. Maybe a 10-15 min light for picture opportunities and then move on to the next.The end drops you at snack and drink pit stop, roast some huge marshmallows or hit the merch store and pick up your wand, starting at $45.It was a very chill crowd at our 7pm entry. We were a few minutes late but luckily it didn't matter. Eventually we got our drinks situation settled and begin our tour. We saw the stag and stopped a few minutes later due to a line. The group is let in and a staffer reviews your journey. Overall it was enjoyable. You will feel slightly rushed through the interactive stations as everyone wants to get a picture or take a turn. Hang back towards the end of the group if you suspect you'll need additional time. The curvy paths aren't super wide so skip the giant wagons/strollers.

Really cool experience for Harry Potter fans and even fun for muggles like me who come along. They create a great atmosphere with sounds and light effects and characters from the movies and have some interactive scenes.The only downsides are the high price and the long lines even late at night (we went 10 pm on a Saturday). But if you are really into HP or if your kids are, it is worth a visit.

The experience is really fun. I did enjoy myself. The only problem was the price. I paid $77 for 1 person and that was the base price. I don't feel like this should cost over $50, but that's just me. The music and scenery along the path were really cool. They have an app you can play along with for even more special effects and trivia. There are lots of great photo opps along the trail as well. At the end of the trail was a food court area with lots of different options. It's like they think they are Disneyland with the prices. I spent over $50 on food and didn't get all that much. I ordered fish and chips approx $20 (the fish sticks are definitely from the frozen food aisle) and then $30 for a golden snitch cake pop, deathly hallows cookie and a butter beer with a shot of rum. Im glad i did it bc im a big fan but i don't know how these large families could afford it. I wish it was more accessible.

We loved it. But of a walk but nothing too crazy. Wear warm clothes during winter nights.

On arrival as you walk up which it's a walk. Wear comfortable shoes and bundle up. They have restrooms located at the beginning and ending of the trail . Full-size restrooms 3 to each trailer clean and stocked. Beginning of trail to start your journey snacks, souvenirs, and butter beer can be purchased . There are plenty of photo opportunities along the trail . Sights and sounds thru out the park .And it did the movies' justice with characters and props . You won't be disappointed it's a really nice experience.

This outing is for the ultimate Harry Potter fan. It's lights, a forest, whimsy and a little bit of magic. Only 2 of the 5 in our group were "real" fans. I got them the VIP experience which really isn't that different than the other experience except for the gift bag and light up VIP badge. It was a fun walk through a cold forest filled with Harry Potter memorable moments but it's mechanical moments and music in the woods. If you are going to just enjoy a night with the family outside, I highly recommend it. If you are going to be WOW'd with special effects, this will likely be a disappointment. We had a great time. Oh, and don't skip the hot chocolate! It's delicious!

Such an amazing experience! The walk was nice and soooo beautiful! Lots of cool things to see and great photo ops! The app is fun and adds to the magic! Bring your own wand if you have one, there are chances to use them throughout the walk. They sell them at the event but not until the very end. It was raining and about 57 degrees and the rain really added to the experience. It was muddy in spots though! Lots of fun, would really recommend!

This was a lot of fun but feels like it was geared more towards children & influencers. There's lots of photo ops if you want to stand in line but they do have some fun AR type activities (mainly involving waving wands around) that are cute (and definitely also have lines)! It feels a little over priced but that's expected given the franchise and its popularity. Loved visiting; not sure I'd go again but it was definitely very well put together!

Waste of money. 90% was just walking through lights and cheap decoration from a party store. There was a camo section. What was that about? There's about 5 large screens with things projected onto them like a white horse walking. The "interactive" stations weren't really interactive. They just played a video on a loop. Food and drinks are obviously insanely expensive and mediocre at best.
