It’s Gourd to be Back!
Thousands of artistically hand-carved pumpkins will glow in the night during the walk-through Jack O’Lantern Extravaganza, presented by Beverlynn and Steven Elliott. The gallery of pumpkins features an all-new array of beloved Zoo animals, famous sights, and familiar characters from the worlds of entertainment, fantasy, pop culture, sports, and more, presented with sound, light, and other special effects.
The premier family-friendly nighttime event in Pittsburgh is the perfect combination of nighttime fun, the spirit of autumn, and artistry. Over 3,000 Jack O’Lanterns will illuminate The Islands and Jungle Odyssey in a dazzling spectacle, including differently themed areas with a Pittsburgh connection and our showstopping pumpkin trail finale, the Living Wall.
In addition to pumpkins of all shapes, sizes, and designs, the Jack O’Lantern Extravaganza will feature activities for children, gently spooky seasonal displays, and specialty seasonal food items. The evening Jack O’Lantern Extravaganza adds a fall family tradition that will delight guests of all ages.
