We had such a great time at the Jack O'Lantern Experience at Skylands Stadium! They always manage to put on great family-friendly events! Our family attends the Holiday Light show every year, which we love, so we super excited to visit the Stadium for the Jack O' Lantern Experience as well. We started the night out at the Fall Festival. The boys were really excited to get to the smores station and ride the Ferris Wheel. From there they ran through the pumpkin patch, hung out with or furry friends at the petting zoo. Once it started to get dark, we grabbed a hot pretzel and headed back to the car to see the pumpkins! But of course not be stopped for a couple of photo opps! The kids were mesmerized by all the different pumpkins the drive-through had set up. They had dinosaurs, animals, and cartoon characters. Some were a bit spook and some really funny! Overall we had a really fun family outing at the Jack O' Lantern Experience at Skylands Stadium!
