Description: View thousands of hand-carved Jack O’Lanterns while taking a stroll through this unusual Halloween event: a quarter-mile trail of artistic displays providing fun for the entire family. The Jack O’Lantern carvings feature traditional Halloween imagery, celebrities, and a variety of themes: a giant graveyard; life-sized dinosaurs; the New York City skyline, etc.
Plan to spend forty-five minutes to an hour-and-fifteen minutes walking through Rise of the Jack O’Lanterns. There is a small gift shop, and refreshments are available.
This is not a scary haunted house event but an artistic installation; there are no actors in costume trying to scare you.
Advanced tickets are required. Tickets are valid for specific dates and times. Groups are allowed in at fifteen-minute intervals from 6pm through 10:30pm.
Prices are $16-28 for adults; $14-22 for children 3-12; children 2 and under are free.
