Welcome to Jellystone Park™’s Magical Pumpkin Weekend—a festive celebration of all things fall! Enjoy a cozy weekend filled with family fun, laughter, and the vibrant colors of the season. It’s the perfect way to kick off autumn!
This special weekend puts a magical, kid-friendly spin on our Halloween events, designed especially for our younger campers. Visit the Magical Pumpkin Patch ($), join the Scarecrow Decorating Contest, and create your own delicious caramel apples ($).
Get ready for friendly competition during the Great Pumpkin Hunt, along with fun games like pumpkin seed spitting and pumpkin tic-tac-toe relay races. Bring your competitive spirit—there are prizes waiting for the winners!
🎃 The Great Pumpkin Candy Crawl
Instead of traditional trick-or-treating, enjoy our fun-filled “Trunk or Treat” experience in the pavilion. Campers are encouraged to decorate a table and hand out candy during the Great Pumpkin Candy Crawl, with an award for the best-decorated setup. Be sure to bring candy to share—even if you’re not entering the decorating contest!
✨ Join us for a weekend full of festive fun, creativity, and unforgettable fall memories for the whole family!

*Please note: Activities and bear appearances are available Friday evening through Sunday morning during this time of year.
