About:
Storybook Forest is presented by the City of Edmond’s Arcadia Lake and Edmond Electric. It is a safe alternative to traditional trick or treating. There are no ghouls or goblins here. Children walk down a well-lit path in the woods and visit life-size scenes from classic storybooks to collect candy. Families can expect to see recreations inspired by well-loved tales like The Little Old Lady Who Lived in a Shoe, The Three Little Pigs, and more!
At the concession area, there are campfires for families to roast hotdogs and s’mores as well as a reading tent where kids can hear stories. Please note that due to COVID-19 safety precautions, we will not have a hayride or carnival game area for the 2020 event.
Storybook Forest is come-and-go anytime between 5:30 and 8:30 pm on each evening of the event. It is not required to arrive early or right at 5:30. No one will be allowed at the event site prior to 5:15 pm.
Please Note:
- No outside food or drinks
- No pets
- Cash only at the event site
COVID-19 Safety Precautions:
- Each storybook scene is manned and that staff member/volunteer will hand out candy while wearing a mask and gloves. Children are not allowed to reach into the candy.
- Hand sanitizer stations are located at the concession, trail entrance, and trail end.
- Staff/volunteers have access to hand sanitizer at each storybook scene.
- Restrooms and frequently touched surfaces are sanitized regularly.
- Fire pits are spaced out and additional fire pits have been added to better allow for social distancing.
- The hayride and game area have been removed from this year's activities to reduce the bunching up of people.
- Staff will hold guests in a vehicle line at the parking lot and allow a limited number of vehicles to park at a time in order to avoid a long line forming at the entrance of the trail. This will keep families together within their own vehicles while waiting to go down the trail rather than grouping in a line with others.
- The line at the entrance is marked to allow for social distancing.
- A limited number of participants are allowed at the event each night. Tickets must be purchased in advance in order to restrict attendance.
- All adults are encouraged to wear masks.
