This review is for the VA location at Camp Hanover.Lots of fun. I hope that this becomes an annual event. My family really enjoyed it. Some tips for improvement....1. Ground pumpkins are random and take away from the themed displays. Move these to the darker areas of the footpath for illumination and safety. Tree roots were terrible trip hazards and parts of the walkway are pitch dark. Not everyone has a smartphone handy for the flashlight, and a recreational activity that you pay for should at minimum be safe.2. If there is any way to park closer to the entrance/exit, that would be a huge improvement. Older members of our family were winded before we even got there.3. Music matched to the themes of each display would be great.4. It was great for us, but this is so under-advertised, I am afraid it wont repeat due to lack of attendance. More advertising is needed to build the crowd base!5. Learn from the Great Blaze in NY. Get local school-kids to carve pumpkins and add them to your display. All the parents and families would come just to see their kids contributions. :-)Thanks for your efforts. We had a really fun time.
WAY OVERPRICED. We went to the Mechanicsville VA location. It was poorly lit and nobody directing you from the parking lot. It took a good 10 min walk to even get to the area that was the attraction. We walked through it in under 20 minutes. For the money this event costs I would’ve expected WAY more it’s been so long since I’ve been so disappointed. My kids thankfully are young and enjoyed doing something different but I just can’t get over how overpriced this is. $10 a person would be much more reasonable for what it is.
This was a total waste of time. There is not one real pumpkin on the site, no spooky decor, only hundreds of the same type lit up figure in a line down a small walkway. I feel as though they are editing the reviews because everyone we have talked to thought it was a joke, yet there are only good reviews. Also, we were heckled by the people selling donuts and cider repeatedly. Dont waste your money. Will definitely not be returning.
We were in awe at the artistry involved in making these beautiful, illuminated sculptures come to life! Weve honestly never seen anything like it before and were looking forward to making this a Halloween tradition for years to come! Simply amazing!
I would honestly give no stars if I could, and I never leave bad reviews. I cant speak for other locations but the one in Plymouth, CT was a huge ripoff. Im actually upset this is the Halloween event we chose for my sons 1st birthday. Its offensive they even take peoples money for this. Theyre plastic pumpkins stuck to cardboard. Actually theyre half pumpkins cause there isnt even a back, just the front half of a pumpkin, made of plastic, stuck to cardboard with lights in them. We brought my 2 older kids with us as well and they couldnt even make out what the pumpkins were supposed to be. I think they were mostly people? With a few monkeys or something? It was so so bad. I wanted to take some cute Halloween pics for my sons 1st birthday and didnt even bother. I cant believe theyd charge anything more than $5 for this honestly.
We visited the Sunshine campus display. Biggest rip off ever. Half of the display was not lit up as they were having electrical issues since the following day, the music was staticky which eventually turned off all together. No one informed us upon entering and taking our tickets that there was a problem, until we were inside and had to ask. Also there was not one real pumpkin they were all carved fake pumpkins. Definitely not worth the 25$ we paid to walk through a dark half lit path. Unless you are under t years old and easily impressed I suggest you don’t waste your time or money.
A group of us went to the Plymouth CT location this past weekend. First off, the woman checking tickets was INCREDIBLY rude. She then boasted about about how she was the director of events, which is incredible she would speak to customers in that manner if so. Their website clearly states masks are encouraged NOT required. Literally, NOT, in all capitals. Instead of apologizing for the confusion when someone in our party didn’t have one handy, she was dismissive and rude. Secondly, these are fake pumpkins nailed to a board and the entire walkthrough was short, underwhelming and not worth the price of admission. At least the security guards were pleasant. There are a lot of fun fall things to do in CT, don’t waste your time on this one.
A fun and safe way to enjoy an evening out. Stroll the fairgrounds and enjoy the lighted pumpkin sculptures, posed in many scenes/themes. The colors are vibrant and the themes are creative. A nice evening walk that you can take at your own pace, while remaining socially distanced. Although a little awkwardly placed (at the start of the walk making it so we had to carry through the whole display) the cider (mulled or cold) and Cider Belly donuts were welcome additions! With so many things cancelled this season, it was nice to have an event to look forward to!
Very enjoyable. Kids lived it. Very creative the way the made the pumpkin designs. Although we signed up for 6 and it wasn’t quite dark enough 6:30 start would have been better.
We drove 3 hours from Maryland to the Mechanicsville VA location the weekend of October 9. Although the staff was friendly, we could not figure out what most of the exhibits were supposed to be, the lights were not working in half the displays and the music playing was so loud that the speakers were blown out. Walked through the whole exhibit in less than 10 minutes. No concessions or bathrooms on site. Total waste of time & money. We emailed the Hallowed Harvest people to let them know what we saw, going as far as requesting a refund, but never got a reply. So, weve been had, plain and simple. Dont waste your time with this tourist trap.
If I could give zero stars, I would. The display was underwhelming to put it kindly. The entire thing took us 15 minutes to walk through and that’s only because you had to stop to squint to figure out what the carvings were of. A trip around your own neighborhood looking at decorations would be more exciting than this sham. Not a mask in sight on workers or other attendants. To be fair it was so empty social distancing wasn’t difficult.
I went to the “event”, aka dimly lit undecorated warehouse rooms, in Salem MA. It was just a bunch of styrofoam “pumpkins” on tables. You walked from the first room down a sidewalk to see another room with more styrofoam cutouts and lame “ghost” projections. It took 15 mins tops and that was really stretching out the rooms.Their Instagram photos, the few they actually have of attractions, are misleading. I thought I was spending $20 a pop to walk through the woods and see amazing pumpkin displays (I did a similar thing years back). Instead I paid $80 for a group of 4 to look at styrofoam in a couple of warehouse rooms. I left a comment honestly telling them how disappointed I was and they immediately deleted it. They know full well that this is a tourist trap.I’d highly recommend to stay away from this place. There are undoubtedly many more interesting and non scam Halloween events in MA. For Salem, apparently the monster museum in town is pretty cool.
Went this past Sat evening to Altamont Fairgrounds location.1st the good-the pumpkin carving was impressive, however, lit signs as to what the sculptures are would be helpful in many instances since they were difficult to identifyNow unfortunately the bad!1) very hard to find! Knew where fairgrounds were but had only been in daylight and a long time ago! In dark much tougher! No indication at fairgrounds entrance that there was anything going on. 1 small unlit sign which we missed, when I said something at entrance, the staff said Yeah we hear that all the time2) Once inside, no signs or lights or staff to point you towards where the pumpkins were, dark & creepy but not in a good creepy way3) Boring & expensive for what you got honestly, took 10 min to walk thru even when stopping & taking many pics. Only other activity was a tarot reader(pay extra) & could but cold or hot apple cider, THATS IT! Paid $58 for me & my 2 nephews, what a rip-off! Could have had more activities... haunted house in those creepy barns, dressed up staff jumping out(maybe later when little kids wouldnt go), other activities, ice cream or other treats... anything!!!! Was kind of like Light in Park at Christmas but without any of other fun activities.4) Unfortunately per my nephews(who dont like scary stuff which is why we went here!- EPIC FAIL!!!
Went to the one in Salem MA. Super underwhelming and not worth $20. The pumpkins were just styrofoam and were placed on black boxes of various heights. The designs were pretty boring and looked like the generic designs you would find in a store bought carving book. I was also expecting more than just 2 small rooms, it takes about 5 minutes for each room. Save your money and go to the art museum or do a haunted tour instead. The only upside was the very kind staff.
I was expecting more of a fair-like atmosphere with the name and the price of admission.. 20$/adult is waaaay too expensive to just see some jack-o-lantern displays along a race track🙄 I think this display would be much better as part of another event/festival than a standalone thing. I feel ripped off.. 5$ would be fine, 10$ with some concessions and other activities would also be fine, wth is 20$?! Will not be doing this again.
We had a great time. Kids loved it! Hope to see them back next year.
We really enjoyed all the colorful pumpkin displays. The staff werefriendly and helpful. It is a fun family event. I would definitely goagain.
I went with my two girlfriends. It was advertised as “spectacular”. I wouldn’t go that far. While we all agreed a lot of work went into the displays, we couldn’t make out what many of them were supposed to be. Half way through everything started to look the same. It was worth going to one time but not again. It wasn’t nearly as good as it was hyped up to be.
We went last year and the whole site was filled with pumpkins and was amazing. Went this year and there was nothing compared to last year and a lot do the carving gs were not distinguishable at all. Will not be going to again. Raised prices and the experience was bad. Workers were friendly but experience not as expected as prior years.
Wish I could give ZERO stars. Totally lame. Fake pumpkins with colored lights inside. They advertise 1/2 hour - 45 min walk. Took us 15 minutes. Totally overpriced!! I wouldnt pay $5 for this. Rip off!! WHAT A JOKE
So disappointed. Fake pumpkins, half lit, nailed to boards. As an adult it was difficult to guess what they were supposed to be, a child would have no idea. There was no music. Lighting on the pathways were minimal to say the least. It was a pricey for what it was. Would not recommend it to anyone.
Dont waste your time and money. We went to the Rush NY Hollowed Harvest on a night when the lights and music werent working. Workers told us to email for a refund as this was an ongoing problem. No response from email and no answer after 3 calls. We basically walked a dark path for 10 minutes. Youll have more fun walking in your yard with a flashlight.
The pumpkins were amazing. Bathrooms throughout the walk would be nice since there are a lot of small children there. Also some lights at the end of the exhibit would be nice. It was very hard to see where you were walking due to the darkness. The cider and donuts are a good idea but it was not moving fast enough, big buildup of people. Overall good time.
We’ve been to a number of Halloween pumpkin displays like this, and hallowed harvest was by far the worst. There was no signage to direct us from the main road to the parking. The employees were wearing all black so they were hard to see in the dark and when driving. The displays were lack luster, all foam pumpkins and no real ones. We were there on the second night and many pumpkins were already broken and lights were out. The sound system was blown out and annoying. The employees were more focused on grouping and talking than enforcing the mask and social distancing rules. The price was far too high for what the event had to offer. When leaving there was no signage directing us out of the parking area, and we got lost in the fair grounds. Would not recommend, it’s really a shame because this could have been so good, there was such potential here. We will not be recommending or going back.
The Pumpkins are FAKE!! It would be fun for kids who are free, but do not waste your money otherwise. All the FAKE pumpkins are carved by the same artist or in the same style so there isnt much to see. If you have seen one FAKE pumpkin you have seen them all!
Meh, I would not go back. It was fun to see but not worth the cost. Over $60 for two adults with a 5 year old. The paths were not light up which would have been nice, a little LED or Christmas light path since it gravel and dirt. The music was too loud. People were not wearing masks going through and not keeping 6 ft away. People were very vocal about their unhappiness, if you stopped to take a picture, rude words were said often. But the pumpkins were nicely carved and light up. Some of the pumpkins were already fallen apart early into the harvest.
It was a great “not-so-scary” Halloween experience for all ages. The variety that the jack-o’-lanterns depicted from The Wizard of Oz characters, to a flower garden, to witches stirring their cauldron were well done.
My family appreciated the outdoor family-friendly event but we found the experience very lackluster. My kids are 8 and 9 and this was very boring for them. Especially when we realized that the pumpkins are ALL styrofoam. I guess we were expecting that at least some would be real. It was just a mono-tone walk through event. For $80 for my 4-person family- not impressed.
The experience was good, the kids loved it. We drove about an hour to the hallowed harvest. They were great about keeping social distance during the walkthrough, the line to get in was quite a wait though. Temperature checks at admission, and friendly workers. Wish there was more vendors, there was cider donuts with a long line but that’s all. Good sticks for the kids for sale would’ve been a neat addition in my opinion. Thanks for a fun evening Hallowed Harvest!
Went to Plymouth CT location thought it was very short and was super disappointed to see they were fake pumpkins. Not worth the cost of tickets. Also one of my kids got sick last minute and they would not allow me to upgrade to VIP or refuny money. Dont waste your time or money on this event!
I attended the Hollowed Harvest the Monday before Halloween with my son, daughter in law and 9 month old grandchild. It was a lot of fun looking at all the lighted sculptures and jack o’lanterns. The walking was easy, and they played music for the season, but nothing at all scary. The only thing I would have brought was a small flashlight, as the paths were dark. I also would have liked to see more vendors selling food, but that was okay.
Great evening out. Thought there would be at least a couple food concessions but there was only a Cider Belly Donut stand. Although the donuts were very good, the event advertising implied that other food would be available. The group I was with expected to eat there prior to the walk thru. Otherwise, the pumpkin light show was fantastic. Enjoyable for all ages.
Warm Apple Cider and donuts to have while walking around was definitely a plus with the chill of the night! An YES we kept our distance especially in between small sips 👻🎃Edit from early: Temperature checks were given, as well as clear directions to both enter and exit the light display. We were also warned prior that the walkway was slippery due to the rain. I say y’all did a wonderful job to try and get people into the Halloween spirit!!
$20per adult for fake pumpkin is ridiculous! Not worth it at all!! It was so disappointing! A large part wasnt even on and the music had so much feedback. Overall... dont waste your money!
This is an actual scam. These are not real pumpkins. They are styrofoam pumpkins mass manufactured by a factory in Rhode Island. Not an ounce of care was put into the design. Not an iota of genuine artistry in the entire display. This is a cynical cash grab, plain and simple. Do not fill the pockets of whatever grifter came up with this garbage. For real.
My 3 year old really enjoyed it, my 21 month old could have taken it or left it. We went at 7:00 and there was a little bit of a line at the start, but it quickly started moving along. Exhibits were spaced out and we were easily able to social distance from other guests. Thought that it was a little bit expensive for the duration of the walk, if it were cheaper we would definitely re-visit this season.
This was honestly a waste of time and money. I guess maybe younger kids like toddlers or preschoolers might enjoy it but the displays are smaller than expected and not that impressive. Definitely NOT worth $36.00 AT ALL!! Super disappointed.
Excellent experience for the whole family! Older family members were entertained trying to figure out what each display depicted and younger children were enthralled by the lights! It was so awesome we even went twice! The only thing that would have made it even better would have been to have vendors selling things, but with COVID I understand that was not possible and am told they will probably have vendors next year. Definitely a MUST SEE!
Really found this type of event pretty intriguing. Lots of amazing work and skill put into it. Pumpkin carving at its best. Im sure if covid wasnt an issue, their would have food vendors and crafters of Halloween just the like. Lets hope for this next year coming to be something like that. Either way, Im in. Respectively, Don1
Safety is hit-or-miss. Sunday evening they allowed a large line to form and folks were not social distancing and there was no staff direction or instruction until after waiting for a considerable time over a couple hundred yards of packed anxiety-attack-invoking line. After the ticket both it was moderately safe. People still showed surprisingly little regard for staying 6ft apart.Maybe after the pandemic it would only be a mild rip-off ($20 for Christmas lights in fake pumpkins and one over crowded food vendor) but now its a downright bad idea.
Great experience. Pumpkins were amazing and the spooky moon the night we went really added to the Halloween feel. They did a great job limiting the amount of people (only so many tickets per half hour) and taking temps on your way in due to COVID. Highly recommend!
Amazing, The music could’ve been better…
This was such a great, and safe event during a stressful time! Workers were extremely friendly, and the lights are absolutely beautiful! Its a like a Christmas walk in the park but for Halloween with Pumpkins! Im excited to see this event get bigger and better, I hope it continues!
We had a great time! Nice set up. The workers were friendly. The other customers wore their masks and were good about social distancing. Were thinking about coming again. My 4 year old granddaughter loved it.
Something to do during these crazy times. Awesome how the artisans created the sculptures. Many made it difficult to appreciate the pumpkin aspect; appeared to be more structure than pumpkin. Fun but not as magical that Christmas displays. Not certain that I will need to do this again.
My wife and I took our 7 year old grandson and had a great time looking at the displays. His only concern was that the Zombie displays not come alive.
The displays are amazing and our group had a great time. It was fun trying to figure out what each section was. Loved it!!
It was awesome! So many cool carved pumpkins and great job with all the lighting. Cannot imagine how much work was put into this but it certainly paid off. Oh and the donuts being sold on site were delicious!
Definitely not worth the money. If it was a lower price maybe it would be just ok. Pumpkins are fake and the displays and not as grand and what you see online. Overall was very disappointed.
The creations were great. It was very dark - understand why, but it would have been nice to be better prepared with a flashlight, etc. It was a little tricky for a stroller.
Advertised as 7000 JACK-O-LANTERNS.To me.. that means PUMPKINS.It was styrofoam pumpkin cutouts nailed to wooden boards. NOT REAL PUMPKINS.I was under the impression that it would be 7000 carved REAL pumpkins which would have been very impressive.Again..styrofoam.
We enjoyed it. There was a nice amount of displays. Not crowded at all. we were at the Altamont fair grounds. Staff was very nice.
We brought our daughter as a special surprise on her 4th birthday and she absolutely loved it!!! Everything was very well organized, and Covid protocols were enforced. The only criticism is that there were no directions/signs on how to leave the parking lot to get out at the end (we ended up almost in the woods because we followed the one way signs and then had to turn around).
It was just OKAY. The pumpkins were not real and you cannot get very close to anything. We showed up 40 minutes early as the website said to arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled time. We were told upon arrival that no one can enter until 7PM and they don’t know why it was posted that way. So many parents and children waited in line while it was 40-50 degrees out. It was about a half mile long and you can only go one direction. Unfortunately , due to Covid some of these things may be out of their hands. But it was alright. $20 seems steep per person for what the event was.
They said it was going to be 30mins to an hour. It took us 20 mins to go through and we took our time taking pics. The displays didn’t look like the pics on their website. Don’t recommend it’s a waste of money and time.
Went last year. Half the displays were broken, people rushed us along, and the staff spent so much time on their phones and talking to each other that they didnt enforce social distancing. Not worth the cost of a ticket. Wont be going this year.
Cute event, impressive displays. Nice to have cider/donuts but may have been better with a few food trucks/vendors to add to experience
My family drove an hour to see this. It was really cool to see and a nice little walk through. My kids loved seeing all the different characters and themes the pumpkins were carved as. Its definitely a good fall activity.
*Please note this is not a drive thru event. I attempted to take my elderly mother to this event and pre paid for tickets. When I arrived, there was horrible lighting and signage, and a muddy parking lot. Furthermore I inquired about a refund as my mother couldn’t walk through. When I messaged the staff on FB to inquire about a refund. They said it is clearly stated that the event is a walkthrough and refused my refund. I explained I was disappointed and I didn’t see it clearly stated anywhere on there website. The staff replied too bad and sent me smiley emojis. They are obnoxious and bad business people. When I went back and looked through their site, it does say there is no refund and that it is a walkthrough in their Covid policy. Do not give these people your money. They are pathetic and can keep my money, but don’t give them yours. I will be reporting their devious business practices to the better business bureau.
HUGE disappointment! Have been wanting to go to this since August, and it was terrible. They weren’t even real pumpkins! I understand real pumpkins rot but at least try and make it look real or don’t advertise over 7000 Jack-o-lanterns when they’re just foam. It was so expensive for a 15 minute walk around the fair ground of string lit styrofoam pumpkins. I appreciate all the COVID rules but I do not understand how you can get apple cider and doughnuts at the beginning but you’re not supposed to take your mask off so how can you eat your doughnuts? Should be offered at the end in area you can sit down and take your mask off. On the website it says arrive early for “concessions and shopping” but there is no such thing. All around disappointment. No Halloween decorations, no lit pathways or signage on where to go. Let down.
I will give this a FAIR shakedown. First, I really feel for them because their first year happened during our collective hellyear. The staff was really nice. I was disappointed that the pumpkins werent real (the event says Jack o lanterns and they do deliver), but that makes total sense because the event runs for sooooo long so 🤷♀️ Im willing to overlook that because otherwise its just not logical. It was really cute and the alien themed jack o lanterns were great.I will give this another year visit, because its cute and got me outside.Things I would like to see to draw me next year: more vendors. I want to get my spooky shopping done, theres plenty of space! Im giving it a pass this year because *gestures broadly*. Another thing would be real pumpkins interspersed in. I would love to see your staff creations, that would be hilarious. A vendor selling pre-carved pumpkons towards the October season would make money for you, no doubt!Overall, nice. Will visit again.
Lame. Underwhelming display of Halloween themed figures and lights that were not that creative or interesting. Save your time and money.
An actual Halloween nightmare.If abhorrent customer service, lack of social distancing, and unsafe weather conditions are your idea of fun, please come spend $20 a ticket on the biggest joke of a light display youve ever seen in your life. I wish I could rate this event zero stars.False promises of vendors that were never there, fake carved plastic pumpkins, rude and self serving staff...unreal. Absolutely unreal.
It was a nice display but my only complaint was you were not able to get cider and donuts after the walk through. They should tell people ahead of time that they will not be able to get them after. Very disappointed when we got to the end.
It was cool. A little pricey for being over in 15 minutes. The pathways should have been lit up somehow. It was too long a drive for us for what it was. If you are close great.
Very cool displays The only suggestion I would have is to maybe have some path lighting but it was great
If I’m could give this place a 0 I would! This is the worst company I have EVER dealt with, AWFUL customer service. Never would recommend any one going in buffalo NY
My wife and I went it was nice. It is mainly a event to take young children to. It is very family friendly, also be prepared to walk
It was a great trip to make!We all enjoyed the crafted pumpkinsThe only thing that would have made it a little better was to put the refreshments at the end and put a little lighting where you walk
An excellent event that I felt very safe at with my daughter. Social distancing, masks at all times and temperature checks! A great way to enjoy Halloween in the time of COVID-19.
Plenty of space to walk through, minimal concessions (donuts and cider only), no merchandise for sale on site that we could find.
It was wonderful , I bought tickets for my family and we all went together! It looked like a lot of work went into the displays! My favorite was the Loch Ness monster!
Our group of 7th graders had a great time! Was really cool. They had cider and donuts in the beginning. Was a very nice walk :)
Beautiful details and time put onto event. Just wish there was more of a concession stand offering for the event.
Love how its walking event you cant miss a single display. At your own leisure. Perfect for all ages.
We had an excellent time! Family fun looking at all the different themes and displays.
It was a great time the displays and the music were awesome. Hope you do it again next year. I plan on bringing our grand kids back this year too. Thank you.
Incredible! The detail that was put into each display was amazing. Would recommend to anyone! And they did a great job with making sure everyone was socially distanced.
Staff was super polite and nice. The pumpkin carvings and sculptures were superb. All around very pleasant experience!
It was a great time! Soooo much to see from amazing artists! Incredible display!
This was a fun experience-a lot of cool displays and lighting which was easy to navigate and enjoy.The staff were all very helpful in explaining tot layout and things to see as well as performing safety duties for spacing and safe access during Covid conditions.I would not hesitate to recommend this as a fun and enjoyable Halloween outing for kids of ALL ages(I am 68!!)
Thanks for opening during he pandemic! It was a great drive thru experience. The characters were very scary. The donuts were yummy.
It was fun. My 8 year old enjoyed it. But it was maybe not worth the $40 it cost for just the 2 of us to attend.
Way over priced, we finished the entire pathway in 15 mins. Paid almost $50 got there at 9pm finished at 9:15pm it was boring really not worth it
I was really impressed. My daughter and I loved it. I hope they do this again next year
We really enjoyed the display. Maybe a few marker lights on the trail would help, though. Wed come back next year.
Seen in Thomaston/Terryville Ct. VERY DISAPOINTING expected more. Director at signin was very rude would not waste my money again
I took my Girl Scout troop through and they all had a great time.
Family fun socially distanced event! Great time!Amazing displays!
Awesome event for family and friends! Everyone was super nice and my family very much enjoyed the experience 😊 will actually be going a second time!
These were plastic cut out pumpkins. I was so disappointed because I thought we were going to see real pumpkins…
We had a great time with a group of friends! The kids enjoyed it and we walked through and it was a cool experience!
It was an amazing display of pumpkins. Hollowed Harvest did a great job spacing people out by limiting the amount people per half hour.
Event was really well done. I wish the mask policy had been enforced in the middle instead of just the beginning and end
We had a great time walking through and seeing all the beautiful lights for Halloween!
Great Halloween lights!!! We had a blast as a family!!
Very cool idea. Amazing carving and sculptures. Much needed safe outing during this crazy time
Price high for plastic pumpkins. However, very clever and creative.
Awesome displays! Reasonable price. Had a great time!
We enjoyed the numerous pumpkin displays. Very creative!
We had a great time.Just wished we could have gotten to the donuts after instead in the beginning
Magical experience! What an amazing artistic display, in a gorgeous setting. Will make this an annual tradition, for sure.
Thought the displays were very clever. A unique presentation using pumpkins.
This was very well done and such a cool experience!! I hope you do it again next year!
Excellent experience with the staff here. All so friendly and personable.
It was so nice, I just think it was too overpriced for what it is!
This was a fun and different experience and the kids loved it!
This was awesome! We enjoyed it. I hope they do it again next year.
Super fun experience!! My two boys and I really enjoyed it.
Lame lame and more lame. Im furious for paying what I did for these tickets. Not worth even half of that cost. Very disappointing
Thought it was great, would love to see even more space filled in with pumpkins.
It was a great evening out. The only suggestion I would give is to have the concession at the end of the line.
Show was great! Everyone enjoyed it! Kids loved it!
This was a wonderful way to spend an evening out and enjoy the craftsmanship of some talented people!
Great organization! The displays were awesome!
We walked through in about thirty minutes. Beautiful work.
Very underwhelming, not real pumpkins.
Ho and support it well worth the money...
Nice outing for the kids. Social distancing totally manageable.
Very creative and cool experience loved it....
Amazing details in each and every design!
Cant wait to go back next year.
Very well organized and put together!
Fun event and well organized!
It was very nice just very pricie
Love pumpkins in the fall.

I wish there was more to see

2020-10-16This was a fun, relatively short (but not too short) excursion with the kids that pleasantly surprised us. It took about 45min to walk through the display, and we never felt crowded or rushed. The displays were bright and really well done, and COVID safety precautions were in effect and monitored. The nature of the event (outside and ticketed, and laid out on a long track) kept things safe and also made for a nice walk. Really glad we gave this event a try. The kids loved it.

2020-10-31Being their first year i believe there is plenty of room for growth & positive changes. Overall enjoyable experience especially being a walk through vs drive through like other pumpkin attractions. The lack of signs & direction entering & leaving made things slightly confusing & wish their was more vendors for food & or drinks. Hope to go again next year with hopefully some changes being made.

2021-10-26I’ve gone to this for the past two years and have enjoyed it both years.Last year I thought it was a drive through, but I’m honestly glad it gave me the opportunity to get up and walk around.The pumpkin scenes are really fun and the music sets the tone.The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming and it looks like everyone there is enjoying being there, even if it is to work.I do wish they would add more scenes as some spots are just dark walkways.All in all, a fun time. Take your family. It’s cute and not super scary.

2020-10-19I cant believe I took this photo in New York during a pandemic. WAY too many people and patrons were only distancing near the ticket booth (the only place they had some lines of tape). They did not take our temperature like the website states. Also a huge lack of signs to find the event in the fairgrounds. Displays were neat but NOT worth the risk. Either buy a ticket for the latest time possible or avoid this completely.Also this photo only shows HALF of the line, and you cant even see the ticket booth either.

2021-10-25It was cute and I really appreciated that it was not scary. Loved the free parking and the ability to purchase apple cider, popcorn and donuts. I just thought $20.00 a ticket for adults and $16.00 for kids was high. $10.00 would have been a more appropriate price. It took us maybe 45 minutes to walk the road, and we walked really slow. Just not enough bang for the buck for the $128.00 we paid for tickets.

2021-10-27My kids and I loved it! It was a lot of fun. A magical walkthrough Halloween display. All staff we encountered were SO friendly! From the ones helping with parking, to the ones checking tickets, to the ones at the very end making sure you knew where to go to get back to your car. The only sad part was that it ended. Looking forward to making this a yearly tradition.

2021-10-29WASTE OF MONEY. We went to Niagara County location outside of Buffalo. Tickets state event opens at 5pm. Got there around 5:45 and were told they weren’t opening up until 6:30 because it needs to be dark. (I guess they couldn’t crack the code on when the sun was going to set and planning accordingly) Having driven 45 minutes to get there we ended up killing time. Should have just turned around. Not a real pumpkin on site. Had legit no idea what the fake pumpkin sculptures were supposed to be for 90% of the walk. There were speakers BLASTING spooky music all over the display, but the speakers were all completely blown out and rattling. We were told the vendors stopped showing up (hmmm wonder why?) so no food or drink on site. The final 100 feet is lined with single “pumpkins “ and they had the following designs: a camel, the letter “M”, a dog, squiggly lines, the letter “I”, a Dino, a sugar skull, another letter “m”, more squiggly lines. The carved pumpkins are not even intricate designs. Just a cookie cutter shape cut out. I’m still so mad!!!! 👎🏻

2021-11-16Overall a cool event good for most ages and not too long. Easy enough to walk through with wheelchair or strollers although they will get a bit messy. Some of the pumpkins are repeat and it would be nice to see a flamingo carving!

2021-10-26Tons of fun! Staff at the beginning and end were very kind and the trail you take at your own pace by yourselves which was great. We brought our six month old and were worried about it being too bumpy for the stroller, but it was totally fine! It was an awesome experience!

2021-10-24No one in our group could even believe how bad this was. We all walked through the “attraction” in less than 10 minutes. Fake pumpkins with cheap LED lights inside them. Each display represented something completely random if you could even tell what it was. The adults were left wondering where the actual display was and the children were confused why their parents brought them to a place with nothing to do or look at. One could build this entire display for about $1000. Looking at halloween displays on YouTube would be far more entertaining. All that was harvested was our money. It’s spooky how bad this was.
