The space is completely accessible with a stroller, but with a two-year-old I did find it challenging to ‘contain her’ and have her seated the whole time, which was totally fine as, she too, was freaking out over what she was seeing. You’ll definitely want to layer up and bring blankets for the little ones. The one thing I would note, especially if you are coming to the Blaze with small kids, is that it gets pretty cold at night. We then walked through a pumpkin graveyard (or sorts) as we looked at even more pumpkins that were on the ground. This lead to the Doomsday Grandfather Clock and then Pumpkin Manor where the house was adorned with colorful pumpkins. It was so cool to see the giant pumpkin T-Rex, brontosaurus, triceratops, pterodactyl and baby dinosaurs being hatched. We also loved the illuminated pumpkin tunnel that was the perfect spot for lots and lots of pictures.Īs we made our way around the pumpkins, the girls, with flash lights in-hand, were mesmerized by the pumpkin dinosaur patch. One of our favorite parts of the Blaze was walking on the new Pumpkin Zee Bridge that lead to the pumpkin Sea Serpent, pumpkin train, intricate Celtic pumpkin carvings and the iconic the Headless Horseman, all made out of jack o’lanterns.

Featuring over 7,000 illuminated jack o’ lanterns, we passed by intricate carvings of faces, shapes and animals–all while being stunned by the level of detail and craftsmanship that went into the creation of these pumpkins. We were instantly wowed by the signage that was emblazoned with The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze as the kids and I (and everyone else in line) took pictures before we got in.Īround 10 minutes later we were in and continued to be wowed by the sights of brightly illuminated pumpkins all around us. We then walked into the main entrance, which also leads to a Halloween/pumpkin-focused store, and then walked into a holding area (of sorts) to take pictures with cut-out pumpkins, get snacks, hot drinks and more.Īt right around 6:30pm we went into another section and stood in line to get into the Blaze. We attended the first showing at 6:30pm and arrived at 6:00pm to get situated, which with three kids is pretty much always. The drive and parking part was really easy as we parked right by the entrance. However, there are still some times available in late October and early November.
Thankfully our friends did because the Blaze was quickly sold-out for the days we needed.
Our friends purchased the tickets for us (after figuring out the logistics) and we were set for the Blaze.
Having heard about the blaze for years but never getting tickets in time, I was psyched to see this fall event in person and check out what it was all about.
