A Halloween Wonderland for All Ages

The nearly mile-long walking trail boasts over 20 immersive scenes with elaborately carved pumpkins, all lit up in spectacular fashion. But that’s just the beginning—this year, expect cutting-edge light technology, augmented reality (AR) selfie moments, digital carnival games, and lantern art installations that will leave you in awe.
Kids will adore the enchanted pumpkin renditions of their favorite characters and enjoy big, multi-sensory scenes perfect for capturing Halloween memories. For adults, there are two full bars, including the high-end Spookeasy, where you can sip on craft cocktails, wine, and beer while appreciating the impressive craftsmanship on display. It’s spooky, but never scary, making it the ideal destination for families and Halloween enthusiasts of all ages.
Exciting New Features for 2024
This year’s Nights Of The Jack introduces some incredible new partners. Govee, a leader in smart lighting, is debuting its Haunted House of Nights of the Jack, featuring a two-story structure adorned with dazzling lights, including its signature Curtain and Outdoor Lights. At the trail’s midway point, don’t miss the interactive lit swing—perfect for a stunning photo op.
Inspired by the trend of giant skeleton decorations, Blue Diamond Almond Breeze will showcase a towering 20-foot animatronic skeleton, located in the graveyard experience, with their famous almond milk cartons on display. Almond Breeze will also be served in hot chocolate stands throughout the event, offering a delicious non-dairy option packed with bone-strengthening calcium—because what’s Halloween without a few skeletons?
