'''Lake George Expedition Park''' is an amusement park located in Lake George, New York, United States along Route 9. It opened in 2019, and incorporates the '''Magic Forest''', which opened in 1963, along with a new attraction entitled Dino Roar Valley.
== Magic Forest == The Magic Forest was originally opened in 1963 by Arthur Gillette.
As a separate park, it featured the largest Uncle Sam statue in the world (as of May 9, 2019, the statue has since moved back home to Danbury, Connecticut), a magic show, and cottages and attractions which tell the story of the Three Little Pigs, Jack Sprat, Hansel and Gretel, various princesses, Paul Bunyan, Pecos Bill, the Statue of Liberty, and the Spider Man. The park's famous Santa Claus overlooks the parking lot.<ref>{{cite web|title=Magic Forest|url=http://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/7023|publisher=Roadside America|accessdate=24 February 2014}}</ref> Magic Forest also has a small petting zoo where children can feed the animals.<ref name="Lake George Guide">{{cite web|title=Magic Forest|url=http://www.lakegeorgeguide.com/business/magic-forest-1390/|publisher=Lake George Guide|accessdate=24 February 2014}}</ref>
