Pumpkins At Wholesale Prices at Moaning Cavern

Get A Screaming Good Deal On Pumpkins at Moaning Cavern Adventure Park

Halloween is just a week away, which means it’s time to start putting some serious thought into the critical element of the holiday that you shouldn’t neglect: The pumpkin!

Those beautiful orange squash are ignored for most of the year, but as soon as fall arrives, pumpkins are everywhere- in our pies, in our lattes, and even the occasional beer! And most importantly, they are on the stoops of our neighborhoods, preferably carved with smiles as Halloween approaches.

With that in mind, Moaning Cavern Adventure Park has dropped the price of their pumpkins down to wholesale cost!

“Even with the pumpkin shortage in California, we are now selling our pumpkins at a spooktacular price, said Carolee White, Moaning Cavern’s events coordinator. Our pumpkin selection is a bewitching bevy of pumpkin sizes and heirloom varietals that we chose from a local pumpkin farm just outside the county. These pumpkins are different from what you might find at some of the chain stores that bring pumpkins in from out-of-state and it’s more fun picking a pumpkin in a patch.”

For a frightfully good time, guests and ghosts can wander through the Moaning Cavern pre-picked pumpkin patch to search for the perfect pumpkin and then, to round-out the afternoon, visitors can take a family picture in the photo-op character board, wind through the kid-friendly hay maze and guess the weight of the giant pumpkin.

Moaning Cavern is hosting the pre-picked pumpkin patch and free kid-friendly, small hay maze each weekend in October from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
