The Great Jack O'Lantern Blaze: Long Island

It’s worth going here at least once. Buy your tickets in advance because they sell out quick. The walk is about 45 minutes. Each section has a story theme to do with town history with sound. There’s a stand that sells Apple donuts and cider etc. it was very enchanting.

We had so much fun! I've never done anything like this before so I was extremely excited to go...and for good reason! It was a really great experience to walk around (took us about 35 minutes) and get lost in the beauty of it all. I can't wait to do it again next year and I've recommended it to a bunch of people!

This Pumpkin exhibit is located in Old Bethpage Village Restoration in Bethpage which is an amazing place filled with many of Long Islands historic old homes that have been relocated to this site, some dating back to the 1700s. I strongly recommend you go back to see the rest of Village Restoration during the day which I rate 5 stars.

The Pumpkin trail was well decorated with a spooky type theme, but still perfect for kids of all ages. The walk started off with a nice array of hand carved jack o lanterns. As we continued, there were many different sections each with a unique theme. However real pumpkins were definitely in the minority. In spite of that everything was well done with interesting and relevant local themes. All along the way there were colorful and dazzling lighting.

I made some inquiries and learned that even though most of the structures were not made from real pumpkins, they were all hand crafted on site by very skilled and talented artists.

The walk also included a few historical homes including some from the Hewlett and Schenck families as well as an old Barn, all in theme. There were informative, illuminated signs along the way.

A nice time for the whole family, in and out in under an hour. There was a snack/beverage spot that included hot chocolate and apple cinnamon doughnuts, although we didn’t stop there. There was also a small souvenir tent. Parking was free and plenty of port o potties for rest rooms. Pricing is $48 adult and $40 for ages 3-17. No senior discount.

Truly amazing pumpkin artistry!! I have been wanting to go for years and finally went. Yes, the tickets are a bit pricey, but you are supporting a great cause for their educational programs. It was absolutely worth the experience! I was in awe every step of the way. They are truly talented and very organized. I loved the carousel, the clock and the lighthouse!

My favorite pumpkin display. Great scenes! Some are very eerie, some are simply beautiful. I love that they incorporate the historical buildings into the displays and love that they put pumpkins in the trees. It's very ethereal and kudos to the art directors!
