The decorations were very cute and well presented, there were a few scattered events for children to participate in like a ‘pie eating contest’ and dance competition. The ‘Dino glow’ experience was nicely done. We certainly were not disappointed with our visit.”Google Review, September 28, 2020Frequently Asked QuestionsDo I need a ticket to enjoy Pumpkin Festival?Yes, an Attractions Ticket or Mountain Membership is required for entrance into the Pumpkin Festival.Do I need a separate ticket to view the Pumpkin Drone & Light Show?The Pumpkin Drone & Light Show is included with an Attractions Ticket or Mountain MembershipCan I purchase certain attraction tickets individually during Pumpkin Festival?Only Summit Skyride tickets may be purchased individually during Pumpkin Festival.
