    Not sure what all the negative reviews are about but this is my second year coming to this event and no regrets. First off, tickets run about $20 per adult and $17 per kid. They do a reduced price before 8pm. Parking is $12 but however well worth it if you are coming in a group. The decor and pumpkins are beautiful. We took my 6 year old niece and she loved running around to look at everything. When we first walked in it was a bit crowded. We had the 7:30pm slot but spent a bit of time looking at the stands near the entrance. By the time we started the actual pumpkin land the line died down quite a bit. The pumpkin tunnel is my favorite. So many unique expressions and let lit. They have a bug area then it leads into spiders then Harry Potter. They even had a real owl. It winds down into an oriental themed area with a dragon and then into an under the sea section. They do have a outdoor movie area along with seating. There a multiple stands selling popcorn, candy and snacks. They were showing Nightmare before Christmas when we went. They also had pumpkin carving artists were which neat to watch. Like I said, there is plenty to do which I think is well worth the price. On your way out there are jumpers for kids and a small pumpkin patch. The food options are slim but if you treat it like a mini fair the prices and food are expected. Also you don't come for that. You come to see the pumpkins!

    WELL, A FOR EFFORT! 12 DOLLAR PARKING IS BS! I only wanted to go to see the Harry Potter pumpkins, and that's where my two stars come from, lol However, we quickly realized how unorganized this shit really was. . . It's basically a place to take selfies / group pics and that's about it. lol Throughout the trail, there's literally stops every 2 seconds to take pictures and it's fucking annoying. I don't mind that there's fake pumpkins, I don't mind the lines, I don't mind the overpriced food, but what I do mind is the 12 dollar parking to stand in line for the cluster fuck of a trail. The tour is literally 15 minutes (maybe less) but with all the people trying to take a selfie or group pictures in the middle of the trail which does not move AT ALL is not worth coming for. I thought this would have more kid activities or more to show us in general. We paid 43.00 for the night owl, 12.00 or park, and it wasn't worth it at all. We did try to make what was best of it, but I won't be coming back. All around super disappointed.

    This place is carving out all the fun... literally! :D Went on a weeknight early. If you buy a four pack of tickets you save a little bit of cash. I bought our tickets online in advance but I saw some people buying tickets on site. Wasn't super crowded at all. When you first walk in just looks like a small little fair with a couple boots set up and bounce house. But as you explore on a little more you enter the hall of pumpkins (great picture spot) and then onto the all the pumpkin lands. I had fun with my 7 year old walking through. There is a fun little game you can play walking through all the themed "lands". If you play the game and decipher the code you get a little prize at the end. In one of the lands they had a buried treasure spot where kids 12 and under can look for a coin to also redeem for a prize. Each themed place had really cool intricate pumpkins! I personally loved the Harry Potter ones. Inside there also a setup for a movie, another bounce house, see saws, hula hoops, corn hole, etc. I liked that there was staff and ring lights set up for families to take pictures, that was super rad. There isn't a ton of food options but just enough. There was a hot dog on a stick booth, a fair type booth serving up pizzas and pretzels type food, funnel cake booth, and a beer stand. I did notice they sold the Stella wine at that booth as well. My son had a good time getting a sugar rush and then going crazy with the other kids on the bounce house. There also little pumpkin patches with stuff for sale as well. It was a fantastic Halloween family friendly activity! It wasn't too expensive and parking was free on the night that I went! (Wednesday) I am super it gets busy on a weekends so plan ahead.

    Decided to come to Pumpkin Nights after seeing so many photos on IG. Tickets were about $20 per person (excluding fees) so I paid a total of a little under $50 for 2 people. The price wasn't too bad, so I figured why not. Parking is also $12 but there is a lot of parking available. I really liked the decorations and the whole idea of pumpkin nights. I just wish it was more spread out or the photo-op areas had a staff member to filter people out. It was really crowded and people took forever taking photos, we spent most of our time waiting in line for photos. Overall, I don't really regret coming to Pumpkin Nights, but I probably won't be back any time soon. If you can, I'd recommend coming on a weeknight to avoid all the families.

    Went there excited to experience a fair like experience with ample space and food trucks. Pumpkin patch... NOT. It's a pumpkin decor space with way too long of lines for photos. It's beautiful don't get me wrong. But you are being ran over by people who don't care to look where they are going or walking. I'll stay in the west side from now on. No music to make the ambiance a full experience. Very cool idea, but not properly executed. In my opinion way over priced $20 per adult +$13 parking for a 30 min walk through.

    Give em' pumpkin to talk about. This festival/event is definitely pumpkin worth talking about. If you love pumpkins this is the place for you! Dates: October 12-November 4, 2018. *Closed Halloween day Parking: $12 Tickets can only be purchased online. I highly recommend buying tickets soon if you plan on going on the weekend, and of course as halloween comes closer I'm sure this event will sell out. Very family friendly event with 8 different themed lands using pumpkins (not real), but so realistic. I was really impressed with the decor and the layout of the event. It's very interactive; not only are there lots of photo ops there is a quest that attendees can participate in to win a prize (pumpkin pin). Before you venture off be sure to take a picture of the symbol legend for your reference. For kids there is an activity near the pirate area where they dig in the sand for a token to redeem for a pumpkin at the end. Lots of entertainment. They play Coco, which many families were watching, and have a fire show twice a night. When I attended I was able to watch a portion of an artist carving a Cheshire cat, who displayed his other carvings as well. Depending on the day you attend they may have face painting and themed nights (check the daily schedule online). They have a few vendors on site selling food, treats, beer, and drinks. Hot dog on a stick, Mamas baked goods, pizza, heart shaped funnel cakes, pretzel/churro cart, and more! I I got to try Mama's baked good's pumpkin 50/50 brownie and cookie. It was so good!

    We attended "Pumpkin Nights" last night (Wednesday, 10/23). Our timed entry was for 6-6:30 p.m. My goal was to arrive early so it would not be crowded, especially since we brought my almost 3-year-old granddaughter with us. Parking was very easy and up close. Yes, it cost $12 but *every* event at the fairgrounds charges to park, so I don't fault the vendor for that. I am pretty sure that the fairgrounds pockets the parking fees, not the vendor. It was still light out when we got there, and we took a few photos of the cute Pumpkin Nights displays in the front. There are a few tables selling merchandise and my granddaughter got two lit-up rings, $1 each. My family wanted to eat, and although I wanted to get onto the trail right away to beat the crowds, majority ruled, so we bought tacos, nachos and quesadillas from a booth. Prices were high ($12 for a quesadilla). At least it was tasty. Service was really slow. My family did enjoy the food. It was dark by the time everyone finished eating. We went to the entrance which had 2 lines - one for selfies and one for not selfies. We wanted photos, so we chose the selfie line. I don't think it would have made a difference! We got inside and encountered our first bottleneck of people taking photos. That proved to be the case throughout the venue: bottlenecks of photo-takers, along with far too many double strollers. I shudder to think what it is like on the weekend when it's more crowded. How could anyone move through the place with people taking photos every two feet? Throughout the venue are photo opportunity areas. You wait in line to access those. We only waited a few minutes each time, thankfully. About halfway through, my daughter lost patience at the stopping and waiting so we began skipping many "photo ops". Except in the disco area, there is no music. The event would be greatly improved by Halloween music playing. The almost 3-year-old had a fabulous time. This venue is very kid-friendly. It isn't scary at all. She loved, loved, loved the disco dance area. It is lit up so you look blue. There is a huge pumpkin octopus photo op in the dance area. My granddaughter found 3 Pumpkin Night wooden coins in the sand area. You exchange those for a prize at the end (a piece of candy). There are also kid play areas with games and a teeter-totter. I got onto the teeter-totter with my daughter and granddaughter on the other end. I was way more scared than my granddaughter! At the very end are two bounce houses. Granddaughter loves those, so my daughter put socks on her and sent her into one of the houses. Problem: They are not monitored by any employee. It's a free for all, jump at your own risk. The little one was surrounded by big kids jumping over her - aged 8, 9, even pre-teen. My daughter whisked her out fairly quickly because she was afraid she'd be stepped on. This is a tragedy waiting to happen, not having anyone control these bouncers. We bought our tickets on line, $20 for adults, $18 for us two seniors, and the toddler was free. Was it worth it? Probably not. As other Yelpers have pointed out, the pumpkins are plastic. The only real ones that we saw were on a table with two carvers and in a small patch at the very end next to the bouncers. "Rise of the Jack o' Lanterns" that was in the same spot a couple of years ago was much better - because they were REAL pumpkins. You can't really admire the artwork or carving expertise on a plastic pumpkin from China. That said, there were some great photo ops and we got some good photos - until my daughter got fed up with them :)

    Ideal for picture taking and there were definitely a lot of photo ops. Was a nice midweek activity. I thought maybe it would have been bigger in some areas. They also had the movie Coco playing in one area .There's tons of cool pumpkins and themes with music as well .

    Belated 2019 review: As a local we don't have many Halloween events on our side of town besides the pumpkin patches or the Pumpkin Festival at Cal Poly Pomona. Most of them are closer to LA but I don't always wanna drive out there. It was their second year doing this and I really liked the event. The course is wheelchair friendly so my uncle was able to attend and all of my family enjoyed it. This was a family friendly event and they had activities like a movie corner to watch the Nightmare Before Christmas, fire shows, professional pumpkin carvers, an owl show, digging for coins, a bouncy house, a mini pumpkin patch, vendor booths in the food area, and many spots to take photos. You can ask the staff to take photos if needed. For the adults they were selling beer throughout the venue, but so many of them could not throw their cups away. I saw so many random cups everywhere. They were also selling food like at the LA County Fair but if you wanna avoid the prices I'd eat before or bring your own food. Also they charge $10 for the pumpkins at their pumpkin patch so it's up to you if you wanna buy them there. Overall I thought it was a fun event to have and it's another local activity to do during Halloween season. They sadly didnt come back this year but they will return in 2021! FINAL TIPS: - there's dirt so wear closed toed shoes - dress warmly cuz it does get chilly - if you wanna take photos with less people I'd go at opening or an hour before closing - if you want a bathroom with plumbing I'd use the ones outside in the parking lot or at the end of the entrance if you dont wanna use the porto potties inside. The ones outside in the parking lot have less of a line.

    3 stars is more than fair. I had such high expectations of this place. They could have done SO much more. Did not look like a ton of effort was placed into it... same location as the LA county fair so I've seen what they could do with that venue. Pumpkin nights fell very short.... I'm glad I got the night owl tix because I would have been SO annoyed if I paid full price tickets for that. It was super quick. In and out in an hour tops. And we took our time. Disappointed there were no real pumpkins carved. Mostly an event for kids. Cool photo opp. Food options very sparse. The "journey" puzzle/experience was too easy and not challenging enough. Overall, cute for a one time thing. Would not have high expectations. Also did not think parking was worth 12 dollars to be there for an hour. It should have been free as I think the discounted tickets were overpriced.

So glad they decided to change the month of the fair to May from when it used to be in September! Yesterday it was sunny, but not too hot, with an occasional lovely breeze. By the time we left it was starting to get more crowded. If you get a chance to visit the LA County fair before the end of May, be sure to check out the Millard Sheets art building, which has a cool exhibit, and also a hands-on cardboard crafting room for kids and families alike. You can build your own miniature cardboard vehicle to race down the cardboard runway they have just outside of the art room. In the exhibit hall with the artwork of school children, the theme is agriculture and they have several fun interactive exhibits: a giant bubble making station, and remote controlled robotic vehicle that you can "drive" around, and some punching robots that you can fight against one another (it was down when we visited). Check it out! Highly recommended!
