The Pumpkin Passage at The Dinosaur Place — Attraction in Montville

Was super excited for this event because my 2 year old autistic son is really into halloween and thought this would be perfect for him and his 1 year old brother. Unfortunately they both were really bored after 8 mins into the train. We came early at 5 since we had no clue if the lines would be long or how long the trail would be. We were able to walk the whole thing in about 15 mins and that was us walking very slow. Was expecting some movement of the props or more spooky sounds but sadly there wasnt. Few noises but they were so faint if you walked too quickly you would miss it. Was also under the impression for the price it would be the whole trail but again sadly it was not. This invent in my opinion was very overly price for what it was. Only thing my 2 year old enjoyed was the bounce slide but that was it. We thought included in the price there were refreshments and snacks but there was not. There was no food truck or magic show or any entertainment like in other reviews. The kids were allowed a coin for a prize which went into the trash before getting home…they were very cheap toys you can find in a pinata…broke before we left the parking lot. I will not be doing this event again in the future. I am just happy we live semi local that we didnt have to drive far because if so i would have been upset. Also there were some either teens or young adults working there and they werent much help in explaining what events were available or what snacks were for sale or anything. ...

Ahhhhh!! It was a good night to be out! Not too cold.

At first we paid online and arrived after 7PM where tickets were 50% off. The lady who originally took care of us kind of dismissed our request of price adjustment until we asked to speak to a manager.

Colin saved the day!! He is very nice when I see him. He also worked his magic and adjusted our payments to reflect the 50% off. Yay! Thank you Colin! 🙌🏽

The trails were nice, people complained of them being small but you have to remember it is for children. Yea it may be costly but live in the moment for the littles! Very crafty with a few candies being given out to people (we don't do candy lol).

There were bouncy houses and a little corn Maze my daughter loved! Though super muddy.

At 7:45 we watched the fire spinners and they offered photos after the show! Super cool! The guy's heart was filled with such gratitude from us just watching.

Last night was a fun family night out! Nature's art is expanding and I am there frequently lol, there is trick or treating coming up there, keep that in mind!

Thank you guys for all you...

We had such a great time! Kids, teens and adults alike enjoyed the spectacular displays. It’s on one of the Dinosaur Place trail and of course you have to walk the trail/pumpkin passage to admire the spooky details. It’s NOT a train ride/tour like my friend thought 😄It’s not gory or really scary, therefore it’s all-age friendly. There are activities at the end of the trail like the huge inflatable slide, huge firepit where you can roast marshmallows, a hulahoop show and more. It’s really worth our family time. The package is cheaper where you can walk the dinosaur trail in the day/afternoon til 4pm and do the pumpkin passage at 5pm. There’s no food sold here so after the dinosaur trail, we went to Oakdale Pizza(yummy, about 12 mins away) to eat and by the time we got back, it was past 6pm/dark and so we were really able to appreciate the light/display. The staff were very nice! Wear a mask and social distancing is observed. Go and have a fun family time. Just check out the photos and videos, you’ll see. But of course it’s best to experience...
