The whole purpose of our family camping trip this summer was to take our children, to
The Enchanted Forest in Revelstoke, British Columbia. When I was little my family visited the forest and I had really wanted to take my children. To my surprise, it was actually just as amazing and magical as I remember it, only this time I was able to experience it as an adult so I do have my opinions.
There are fabulous little sculptures and houses all throughout the park that you are able to look at and go inside. It almost feels like you have entered a whole different world even though its right off the highway. We also chose to do the nature walk, which was a beautiful walk through the forest and along a boardwalk before you arrived at the cutest little dock that is housing paddle boats and life jackets to use. Our whole family went for a little paddle around the pond before docking our boats once more and continuing our hike. The hike heads out exactly where it starts so you don’t have to be worried about missing any of the creations! The kids really enjoyed going inside each of the little houses but I think the house they liked the best was the giant tree house! At the end of the walk before you head down the magic tunnel into the gift shop there is another, much smaller, pond filled with ducks and fish that you could feed little fish and duck food.
