The Great Jack O' Lantern Blaze

 

Arguably the area's biggest, most elaborate Halloween happening, the Great Jack O' Lantern Blaze will be on for 21 nights this year.

More than 4,000 individually hand-carved, illuminated jack o'lanterns make up this walk-through experience. This year, there will be slithering snakes, a giant spider web, super-sized dinosaurs, pirates, ghosts, a collection of creatures based on Greek and Roman mythology, and a mammoth jack o'lantern King Kong perched atop a high building.

Atmospheric music, sound effects, and new synchronized lighting complete the experience. The Blaze is ideal for all ages, but kids who are particularly sensitive to the dark may feel a bit overwhelmed.

October 1-2, 7-10, 14-16, 20-23, 27-31, November 4-6. Evenings; times vary. Advance tickets required; all admissions are by timed ticket only. $16 (Saturdays $20); $12 children (Saturdays $16); free children younger than 5. Order online at www.hudsonvalley.org/events/blaze or call 914-631-8200. Van Cortlandt Manor, 525 South Riverside Avenue, Croton-on-Hudson. 

 

The Blaze is one of our top six Halloween events in Westchester: check out the other five.
