Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular

The Minnesota Zoo puts on a wonderful fall event during October. Their Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular hosts over 5,000 beautifully carved pumpkins displaying images through out different time periods, historical events, and things that happened throughout the year. They also play sounds or music from those time periods. I would recommend it to even those of you who may not be a huge fan of Halloween. It may be a bunch of carved pumpkins, but there is noting scary, spooky, creepy, or unnerving about this event! Words cannot describe how fun and surprisingly enchanting this event is! It also is kid friendly and perfect for a family outing. You do have to pay to get in but it isn’t too expensive, especially if you plan on going early enough to go visit the animals! I plan on making this a tradition to go to. It also is a great place for any guy or gal looking for a fun fall date idea. Now this is a night time event, in the fall, in Minnesota. So it can be chilly but I, someone who is always cold, thinks it is totally worth it.
