“It is a display of more than 7,000 hand-crafted Jack O’Lanterns,” The Blaze’s Rob Schweitzer told Patch. “These are really elaborate constructions.”
Schweitzer said the displays are family-friendly as all ages will enjoy the venue. It takes 45 minutes to an hour for visitors to complete the Jack O’Lantern tour. It runs from Oct. 4-Nov. 3.

“We know that people have been feeling the effects of inflation and so this year our children’s tickets, every night, every timeslot, they are $10,” Schweitzer said. “It makes it really affordable for a family to come.”
Tickets are required in advance to maintain crowd control.
Also new this season is a working Ferris wheel on display, made out of Jack O’Lanterns, although not for riding.
“We try to it as immersive as possible,” Schweitzer said about the Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze. For more information and to purchase tickets, check out their website.
