We absolutely loved The Pumpkin Passage. We brought our 3 year old granddaughter and 5 year old grandson. They loved the lights, the music, the bounce houses, toasting marshmallows and so many kid-friendly games. Being a part of so much Halloween fun was great for us too! We were there the Saturday before Halloween and splurged for a special ticket for them and they each got a bag filled with treats and stickers on the way out. I definitely recommend it for families and kids of all ages. Especially the little ones as it isn’t scary. Family friendly.

Love the Halloween pumpkin passage. Can't wait to go back and enjoy the 68 acres of land they have filled with dinosaurs and info about each dino. My kids had a wonderful time. I'd like to see more food trucks next time though.

My family went to the pumpkin passage and had a wonderful time. My husband and I took our 18 month old son and he had the best time walking the trail, it wasn’t too scary and there were many displays to look at. We all enjoyed s’mores at the end!

We absolutely loved The Pumpkin Passage. We brought our 4 year old son and he loved it. It’s on one of the Dinosaur Place’s trail that you walk to see all the Halloween decorations. There are activities at the end of the trail like the huge inflatable slide, bounce houses, kid friendly games, food trucks and a huge firepit for toasting marshmallows. I definitely recommend it for families and kids of all ages. Especially the little ones as it isn’t scary, great time for the whole family!

Fantastic ! The decorations are professionally created.. it's a really fun and long experience through beautiful trails in nature with lots to see , some scary , some just plain fun . Huge Pumpkins everywhere ! Dinosaurs in costume. Disney style anamatronic creatures singing and dancing . I learned that it took about 10 people working 30 days to set this up. Everything is kid friendly . Kids of all ages really enjoyed it (including adults). Some came in costume and others didn't. If you have toddlers , I'd say go right before dusk . The lights are coming on but you would be eliminating all chances of "scary" but still getting to enjoy ALL of what Halloween has to offer ! For the really big kids .. don't expect "jump out of your skin scary" . There's no one ambushing people . At the very end there's a corn maze , a jumping house and a huge air filled slide. Lots of food trucks and marshmallow roasting. We will be back ! Great job ... and we'll worth the price!
