What to Expect at Harvest Nights
When you step into Harvest Nights, you’ll be greeted by tens of thousands of pumpkins lighting up the night. As you walk along The Pumpkin Path of Peril, you’ll feel the rumble of the Ghost Train beneath your feet, and wind through fog-filled forests. Don’t worryโthis experience is all about spooky fun, not scares!
A key highlight of Harvest Nights is Mischief Manor, where glowing gourds and friendly spirits like The Three Graces await. The inside of the manor is open for guests to explore, and itโs included in your ticket priceโno additional ticket needed!
