Don't be a scaredy cat, these hand-carved jack-o'-lanterns are a real treat. Explore the Chicago Botanical Gardens for a spook-tacular adventure with more than 1,000 hand-carved jack-o-lanterns to light the way. This event tends to sell out.
The largest jack-o'-lanterns weigh in at 150 pounds. These are all LED-lit real pumpkins.
Along the way you may come across interesting characters, watch haunted model trains in the garden, and catch an artist carving a new pumpkin for the path. Seasonal treats, snack and beverages will be available for purchase.
