![]() But, when we arrived at around noon, it was only 63 degrees, with a breeze. The weather was supposed to be 77 degrees and sunny, so we all wore shorts and flip flops. ![]() We took our TomTom along, plugged in the destination, and it navigated for us. Even though we packed our swim gear and picnic lunch the night before, we still couldn’t get out the driveway until 9. It’s a 3 hour cruise for us, so we planned to leave at 8 a.m. It’s a long drive from practically anywhere, but a beautiful drive through the tall pines of the Adirondack Park. Old Forge is located in northern New York, in the Adirondacks. Lastly we had a large grocery bag packed with food and snacks that didn’t require refrigeration: peanut butter, jelly, a loaf of bread, granola bars, fruit chews, apples, popchips, and a butter knife. ![]() We also had a large backpack stuffed full of water bottles, Band-Aids, sunscreen, and Kleenex. We packed a large duffle bag filled with a swimsuit, towel, and hoodie for each kid (and me), along with a bunch of plastic grocery bags. We wanted to travel light, yet have everything we needed. And, best of all, they allow you to bring your own cooler, so you can pack a picnic, and eat at the many different picnic areas. There are lots of places in the park to buy good eats and drinks, and ice cream and cotton candy. It’s a huge water park that has rides for all ages – teens and little ones – along with a wave pool, and carnival-type rides for people who don’t want to get wet. By 1991, the name changed to Enchanted Forest Water Safari. We’ve been there a couple of times before, and it’s always been fun.Įnchanted Forest of the Adirondacks opened in 1956, with the first amusement ride added in 1984, and the first water slides constructed in 1988. Summer is rapidly coming to an end, and we asked the kids - where was the #1 place they wanted to go for a Saturday day trip? They all chose Enchanted Forest Water Safari in Old Forge, NY.
