Except October 2, 2023, October 3, 2023, October 17, 2023.
Nights of the Jack is a family-friendly, Halloween-themed show situated on a 2/3 mile nature trail filled with thousands of hand-carved jack-o'-lanterns.
New in 2023: brand new lantern art activations, new photo ops, an interactive AR scavenger hunt, and QR code activated AR selfies.
The season comes alive with jack-o’-lanterns from every mystical sphere, a live pumpkin carver, and lots of photo-worthy moments.
Nights of the Jack is all ages. The experience is not scary but can be a little spooky in spots.
Food and beverages are available for purchase on site from a rotation of food trucks and vendors, including hot and cold beverages.Little ones can indulge in festive fall treats; the Spookeasy bar serves up seasonal cocktails for the over 21 set.
Advance ticket purchase required. Tickets are timed; entry times start at 6pm.
Visitors are welcome to experience the attractions at their own pace. Most guests spend 1-1.5 hours visiting the attractions.
The event is rain or shine.
