Sept 26 — Nov 1 · Carnation, WA
Fall Harvest
Pumpkin Festival
Thirty rides. Weekends only. A pumpkin field the size of a small town. One wristband, the whole farm, the whole day.
The season
Six weekends,
Fridays from October.
Opening weekend is Saturday, September 26. From October on we add Fridays — three full days a week of harvest, right through Sunday, November 1. Pumpkin Village and the U-Pick fields are open every day we are.
Every open day runs 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. — gates close at six, every date on the list.
Rides & attractions
All of it, all day.
Thirty-plus rides and attractions, all covered by one wristband — ride them once or ride them eleven times. Open the RideFinder for height requirements and this weekend’s operating list.
Thrill · Included
The Mine-Twister
One good drop, three good screams, and a queue that moves. The loudest twelve seconds on the farm.
Classic · Included
Steam Train No. 65
A full loop of the property behind a real puffing engine, straight through the maples.
Harvest · Free with admission
The Corn Maze
Acres of standing corn cut fresh every August. No map handed out, on purpose.
Harvest · $10 a bucket
Apple Cannon
Load, aim, fire an apple across the field at a very distant target. Forty apples to a bucket, and the far targets are further than they look.
Not included with admission
Pony Rides · Zipline Adventure · Gem Mining · Apple Cannon
These four are ticketed separately — pony rides and the zipline take a reservation, gem mining is sold by the bag at the sluice, and the apple cannon is $10 a bucket.
Festival only · Signature
Caramel Apple
Delight
Cider soft-serve blended cold, poured into a caramel-lined jar, then crowned with an entire cinnamon-sugar caramel apple. Two straws, because you will need help.
New this year
Pumpkin Village & the U-Pick field.
Towering pumpkin stacks, hay-bale streets and a photo corner built for the one shot that ends up on the fridge all year. Both are open every festival day. Then walk the fields and cut your own — any size, half off with a festival wristband.
Pumpkin Village
Racks two storeys highPlan your day
Eight hours, well spent.
Gates open — go left
Head for the coaster and log flume before the lines find them. Wristband on, phone in pocket.
Donuts, hot
Pumpkin pie spiced mini-donuts come out of the fryer all morning. Get the big pail.
Wagon ride to the fields
Tractor-pulled out, walk back through the U-Pick rows. Boots earn their keep here.
Little Tykes hour
Crazy Corn, El Paso mini train, Sand Lot diggers — the small-people stretch of the park.
Caramel Apple Delight
The one thing you cannot get any other season. Two straws, one jar, no regrets.
Corn maze at low sun
Best light of the day and the maze finally quiet. Out by six.

Good to know
Questions, answered.
Yes — all thirty-plus rides and attractions in the Fun Park are covered by one admission, as many times as you like. Pony rides, the Zipline Adventure, gem mining and the apple cannon are the exceptions and are ticketed separately.
There is — on Halloween Day, closing weekend. Come in costume, and stay for the judging; details and start time are posted at the gate that morning.
Opening weekend is Saturday, September 26. From October we run every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., through Sunday, November 1. We are closed Monday through Thursday.
Walking the U-Pick field is included, all festival long. Pumpkins of any size are half off when you show a festival admission wristband — regular Fun Park wristbands do not include the discount.
Boots. The fields are working farmland and October in the valley is honest about it. Layers, and socks for the hay jump.
Absolutely, though the corn maze and the far pumpkin rows are rough going. There is stroller parking at most ride entrances.
Saturdays in mid-October do sell out. Buying online locks your date and saves a dollar a ticket.
Don’t forget
your boots.
