Pumpkins After Dark Milton — Local services in Milton

The ticket price is a bit high, but still acceptable. As long as the kids are happy, that’s what matters. However, I really have to ask: what’s wrong with your candy distribution activity? There were three containers in the front, and a staff member was taking candy from each one to give to the kids. But halfway through, one of the containers ran out, so everyone had to wait while the staff went to get more candy. Finally, when it was my kid’s turn, the staff member started going back and forth between the three containers. My child was following along from one container to the next. Meanwhile, a mother and child who were behind us moved up next to us, and the staff started giving candy to that child. My child said, “We’re next,” but the staff member responded, “I can give it to them first.” When I asked why, he said, “Because they said they were next.” I told him that we were actually next in line, and then the mother said, “We were in a different line.” But come on, there was clearly only one line, and they were behind us! Then the staff member asked how many kids we had with us. I replied, “We have six kids,” and he said, “Then I’ll give it to them first.”

If you’re charging for tickets, you should at least hire more staff. If you can’t afford to have two staff members, then at least hire someone competent. Don’t let one incompetent person ruin our experience!

Response to the 'owner': First of all. It's not free candy distribution. I paid more than $100 for the entrance and $50 something for the maze. And You don't even think you are sorry for your staff that ignored my kids and give us an attitude. Yes. You need to rethink If you are doing Candy distribution again.Because I am rethinking if I go to your business ever again. No. Never. Oh. Btw. Thanks for the cheap candy from dollarama. It is so very...

This was my first time ever going to Pumpkins After Dark, so I can't compare it to the non-drive thru experience. We went late on halloween night and overall, my family and I were very impressed and enjoyed the experience. I think the price is definitely a little steep, and it's not the most affordable. $40 for two people in a car is a little much in my opinion, but I can understand that a lot of work was put into this experience. It was difficult to take everything in when at times we felt like we had to rush through, and the workers were waving their red sticks at us to keep moving. My family and I also didn't like the parts of the dive where there were pumpkins on either side of the car at the same time. It was impossible to look at both sides of the car at the same time, so in the future, I would prefer if pumpkins were put only on one side of the vehicle at a time. It was nearly impossible to get any good pictures when you are in a moving car, and we were told not to stop. I think the lights that they had out throughout the drive also contributed to getting bad pictures. The lights were pretty high up and caused very bad lighting for pictures. The event was very organized, and they put you into lines as soon as you got there. It was a very smooth experience. I think this experience would've been better if cars drove more slowly, and you were allowed to stop even just for a couple seconds to get a picture. Would've been a bit more enjoyable experience if we could've taken our time, and not felt rushed through it. My favourite part was definitely the pumpkin tunnel, could've driven through that the whole time and would've been happy. Overall, my family and I are happy we got to go and have this...

The perfect thing to do for Halloween. This is a great family experience! I discovered Pumpkins After Dark during Covid when there wasn’t a lot we could do and was blown away by the drive-thru experience then and continue to be impressed year after year by the creativity and artistry of it all. Now a walking experience, you can spend as little or as much time taking in each display. The walking paths are well-lit and displays accented with light and colour. The incredible talent, artistry, planning, organization and the considerable amount of time that goes into something like this is apparent. Whether a pumpkin is part of a larger display or not, each one is a work of art. The time, skill, dedication, and creativity that goes into each display is extraordinary and the whole experience is impressive. Every year, it inspires me to go home and experiment with my own pumpkin carving skills and techniques. Pumpkins After Dark is a seasonal operation located in Country Heritage Park in Milton. Tickets must be purchased online as they do not offer tickets at the gate, and it is beneficial to book tickets in advance. Besides the collection of pumpkin art, they offer experiences and themes like a fun maze, pet nights and live pumpkin carving. They also offer flex passes, yummy treats and warm drinks to enjoy while you’re there. Great fun for all ages! There is something here for everyone. This is a definite must see for Fall and/or Halloween!...
