The Christmas Ride at Pumpkintown USA
- see all dates
Also on December 26, 2024; December 30, 2024; December 31, 2024.
Beginning Thanksgiving weekend you’ll be able to drive your car through the Forest and see how the Pumpkinheads celebrate the holidays.
Enjoy a one- of-a- kind daytime holiday journey through the winter Pumpkintown Forest in the comfort of your own vehicle. Step back in time on this scenic 1-mile drive through a winter themed landscape where over 30 Pumpkinhead people celebrate an old-fashioned holiday season.
You'll see 17 scenes including a town green, a trading post, a blacksmith's shop and Santa's personal coal mine (where we hope that production will be at an all-time low!). You'll pass Pumpkinheads on skates, snowshoes and sleds along the way. You might even spot the big guy himself. The attention to detail in each setting and in between, make this a delightful journey for all ages.
Snacks for the ride are available for an additional cost.
