Magic Forest
The Magic Forest is an amusement park located in Lake George, NY along Route 9. Opened in 1963 by Arthur Gillette, it featured the largest Uncle Sam statue in the world, a magic show, and cottages and attractions which tell the story of the Three Little Pigs, Jack Sprat, Hansel and Gretel, various princesses, Paul Bunyan, Pecos Bill, the Statue of Liberty, and the Spider Man. The park's famous Santa Claus overlooks the parking lot. Magic Forest was absorbed into a larger park named ‘Lake George Expedition Park’ in 2019. Magic Forest also has a small petting zoo where children can feed the animals.
