Join a master pumpkin carver for an all-inclusive carving experience. Learn directly from the artist as they walk you step by step of carving your very own intricate jack-o’-lantern! They will provide tools they use to create some of the stunning artwork that has enchanted millions of visitors at the Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular. This year’s design will feature one of our resident animals! Can’t draw? Don’t worry, the pumpkin comes prepared with the carving design pre-drawn for you! Then end the class exploring the Zoo’s enchanting Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular trail.
Program registration includes admission to the class, your pumpkin (with artwork pre-applied), carving tool kits customized by the master carvers, and an LED Lamp/Bulb to illuminate your “gourd-eous” artwork. Also includes light refreshments and front-of-line VIP access to the Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular!
While we work to finalize the artwork for this year’s class, view some pictures of past carving classes HERE!
*The two-person (sharing is caring) ticket includes one pumpkin and tool kit to be shared by the participant and their companion. Both will attend the class and receive VIP access to the show. Please purchase multiple “single participant” tickets if you would like for each person to have their own pumpkin and toolkit.
Please note, this program is designed for teens and adults, but all are welcome. Anyone under 16 years old must be accompanied by a paid adult.
