Louisville Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular

Louisville+Jack-O-Lantern+Spectacular

Its getting close to Halloween which means we should get ready to have fun with our family/friends by going to events that celebrate this holiday. One perfect idea is to go to the Louisville Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular. On October 8-November 1 you can head over to Iroquois Park in Louisville and walk through a lit pathway of amazing artwork carved into over 5000 pumpkins. With the pumpkins hanging from trees and surrounding the area around you the entire ¼ mile walk, it creates a nice, peaceful atmosphere with themes such as different time periods in history or entertainment such as movies or well known celebrities. Tickets are around $12-$15 for adults depending on the day, $10-$13 for seniors and $9-$12 for kids 3-12. On Fridays, kids less than 3 years old can enter free.

From a personal experience, I can say that although the line was long (about 1 ½ -2 hours), it was still an amazing show to walk though and spend time with my family . I think it was worth the wait and anyone who thinks they would enjoy this, should definitely go check it out. Also, If you want to find out more about the Jack-O-Lantern show or buy tickets, you can go to this website: http://www.jackolanternlouisville.com
