Arcadia Lake Storybook Forest

All the magic of Halloween, without the scary parts—that’s what you’ll find at Edmond’s Storybook Forest. A cherished family tradition, the outdoor event has been bringing fairy tales to life for more than two decades.
The Magic of Classic Fairy Tales
The centerpiece of Storybook Forest is a short trick-or-treat trail through the woods, with scenes from beloved fairy tales recreated along the way. Children receive candy from a volunteer at each stop, and they can stay to enjoy a story if they choose. Some volunteers even dress as characters from the fairy tales.
Families can also enjoy a hayride and old-fashioned carnival games, which are included in the admission price. If the fresh outdoor air makes you hungry, you can purchase hot dogs or s’mores kits from the concession stand and roast them at the nearby campfire.
An Enchanting Experience for Everyone
If you’ve been to Storybook Forest before, you’ll discover that each year is different, but also familiar. Some of the scenes rotate, while other favorites are showcased every year. “We try to make everything as detailed and real as possible,” says Arcadia Lake Manager Nicole Offutt.
To avoid overcrowding, tickets are sold in advance, with a limited number available for each night. Entry is staggered to give participants plenty of space. Some families meander down the trail and linger around the campfire, while others collect their candy and make a quick exit. “You can spend as much time or as little time as you want,” says Nicole. “It’s really what you make it.”
Storybook Forest will run from October 23 – 30, 5:30 pm – 8:30 pm (come and go) at Arcadia Lake’s Spring Creek Park, 7200 E. 15th Street. Tickets must be purchased in advance. Learn more at storybookforestok.com.
