The Brocksbushes Pumpkin Experience
Visitors can wander through expansive fields to pick from over 155,000 pumpkins of various shapes, sizes, and colors. The patch features themed photo displays, including a pumpkin house and pumpkin castle, alongside roaming characters like Gourda the Witch and the Woodland Fairy. Families can design their own jack-o'-lanterns in the carving tent, toast marshmallows, ride carnival attractions, and sample treats from local food trucks.
