Attended for event The Blaze. A beautiful fall display of carved pumpkin lit at night conducted as a walk through event. A great show for all ages. We went to an early time slot and there was no significant wait. However the later time slots will also face traffic. There are some food, beverages and merchandise. The manor is right next to the water.
We went to see the great jack-o'-lantern craze which was amazing! So much detail went into every one of the hand carved pumpkins. Thousands of carved pumpkins were transformed into huge works of art. Some of them even moved. Awe inspiring, wonderful place for kids and grown-ups of all ages.
Visited for the jack o lantern blaze. Very crowded but a lot of fun! Definitely a must do activity in the fall! Make sure to grab a hot chocolate at the food stands before walking through to keep you nice and toasty.
My boyfriend and I went to see the great jack o lantern Blaze here. It didn’t disappoint! Pro Tip: Our tickets were for the last showing (9:30pm) which was great because we only experienced traffic while arriving and not on the way out. Also, this is great for all ages. They offer coco and snacks for kids and local craft beer for adults.
Beautiful grounds. Nicely decorated for Halloween. Kid friendly. Nothing over the top, just simple decorations. Lots of ground to walk around on. Reasonably priced. The man at the gate was awesome and thanked us for being so nice.
Went here for the jack o' lantern event. Had a great time. Family oriented, but everyone will enjoy themselves. Had a gift shop,food, and drinks for sale
Review is specifically for the Great Jack-o'-lantern blaze. My family and I had a great time. We had the first slot so there wasn't much of a crowd getting parking or walking through. Was definitely getting crowded when we left an hour later though.
Well organized layout for the pumpkin Blaze great inspirational displays of carved gourds everywhere. little wait time, but I will say the cost for cider or hot chocolate a little outrageous
We arrived too early for the show and had to wait almost two hours, they would not allowed us in. We waited. The pumpkin display was beautiful although it was a bit cold. Its a good experience for the kids to see the carving of so many pumpkin, and for parents, for some form of inspiration.
What an awesome experience! So much fun for all ages! We enjoyed every bit of it! The staff are very helpful and friendly. Don't miss the pumpkin pie and the hot chocolate!
Amazing place no matter what time of year you go. It always seem like there is something going on.
Very nice grounds. Great place for photos. Lots of local history. Plenty of parking
This is a great place when they have one of their very popular events. They have two major events annually. First is the lightshow where they showcase a wonderful massive number of lights across the field, beautifully designed and put. They decorate trees and the building and everything there. The other event is their best which is called "Blaze" and in that they have a similar set but with jack o lanterns. Thousands and thousands of real pumpkins carved amazingly and combined into massive structures. Just amazing.
Both events last for more than a month.
Driving there is kind of painful because it's very far from the city (NYC). Parking is free if you have tickets. Going there by train is possible but from the station to the place is a very odd walk on the highway, or you can take one of those "cabs" at the station.
Came for The Great Jack O'Lantern Blaze. And the event itself was pretty cool, it ran smoothly, the workers were very nice and polite. I would only recommend that maybe they have some lights on the walking path. But the place was excellent and I will be back next year for sure!
I purchased tickets for a Sunday evening(830PM) in October and later decided I would rather go on a Thursday at an earlier time due to the age of my 2 children(4 & 2). I called customer service a few days after the original purchase and they told me the only thing i could do was buy new tickets, so I would be stuck with the original set of tickets. I would like to give this more stars because we have been there before and enjoyed it but due to the popularity it seems that the employees do not care about the customer much. After my conversation with the customer service representative this morning i am now under the impression that it is all about money to these people. This is the last year I will be attending this event and no longer will I recommend any friends or family members to go.
