It’s just a trail on a mountain where they use projectors to show lights or singing scenes. You’re supposed to find clues??? No one does and it’s time to go back home. The country side atmosphere is nice though.

Well worth it! Be prepared there are a lot of steps. We loved it. My daughter thought it was the best part of our visit to Whistler. Unique experience.

It was a wonderful enchanted forest walk.The virtual components were pretty fabulous. It’s a true story when they say there is an uphill climb and stairs but it’s worth it :)) The trail was pretty dark in some parts and we needed to use our phone flashlights for safety.

What a fun nighttime walk through the enchanted forest to solve the mystery of the missing hikers. The forest was magical with all the special effects. The Adventure Group let us move our night when our car got towed in Whistler the night we were to attend. It was very kind of them. Would highly recommend this fun family activity.
