Jack O' Lantern Spectacular
Providence, Rhode Island, USA
Mid OctoberDescription
It's the biggest and brightest pumpkin patch in New England! This October Roger Williams Park Zoo makes Halloween not only spooky, but spectacular, with its first-ever Jack O' Lantern Spectacular.

Imagine over 5000 illuminated pumpkins on display throughout a 3-acre woodland trail. These aren't your ordinary, everyday jack o' lanterns. Sure, you'll see an assortment of fun and spooky faces - but Zoo visitors should be prepared for something truly "spectacular."

A team of over 30 professional pumpkin carvers spend six weeks creating their artistry. Prepare yourself for Jim Morrison, Martin Luther King, Abe Lincoln and a host of historic figures and celebrities. Catch a glimpse of Bugs Bunny, Mickey, Minnie and other Disney friends. See a tribute to children's fantasy hero Harry Potter and of course, find yourself in a wild pumpkin patch of endangered species. This is an amazing assortment of intricately designed jack o' lanterns - 150,000 pounds in all - literally brought to life with ornate carvings, special lighting effects and musical themes.
