This Halloween happening will delight visitors as they are surrounded by thousands of intricately-carved pumpkins dangling above and along the quarter-mile walk. In the Pre-Historic Park, Jack O'Lantern dinosaurs stand up to 16 feet tall. Captain Jack and his band of marauders helm a 30-foot-long pirate ship, complete with skeletons and pumpkin pirates. In the pumpkin graveyard, guests will encounter black cats, ghosts and gravestones.
The Jersey Jaunt illuminates some of the Garden State's most notables. Squash look-a-likes include rock stars, sports figures and gangsters including Tony Soprano, Eli Manning, Derek Jeter, Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi and Frankie Valli.
In the spirit of the forthcoming presidential election, in Politicians Row, candidates will appear as never before in all their pumpkin glory, even a Trumpkin! Homage will be paid to past Presidents Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Obama and more.
