Hours

When we open, when we close

Everything runs thirty minutes later once October starts. Find your date, then check the row that matters — the trail closes before the event ends, so the last stretch of the night is Pumpkin Village only.

Parking

$10 per car, cash or card, paid on arrival. Busy evenings can mean up to 30 minutes in the parking line — leave a buffer, especially on a Saturday in October.

At the gate

Mobile tickets scan straight from your phone — screenshot them in case the signal is thin. Bags may be searched, and there is no re-entry once you leave the grounds.

On the trail

What the night is like

The walk

A glowing half-mile through nine Lands, at your own pace — most guests take about an hour, longer if you stop for photos. Then Pumpkin Village for as long as you like.

What to wear & bring

Shoes that can handle a farm — it gets muddy after rain. Bug spray is smart on warm nights, and a light layer helps once the sun is down. Costumes encouraged; masks are fine, but leave props and weapons at home. No outside food or drink.

Pumpkin Village

Festive food and drinks (alcohol served, plus seasonal sips), family games, live entertainment and fire shows, pumpkin carving, seasonal vendors and photo ops. Vendor lineups vary by date.

Tickets & changes

Booking, moving, refunds

Buying

All tickets are sold online in advance, and many nights sell out. Prices start at the low end of each published range and rise as a night fills; your exact price is confirmed at checkout. Ages 3 & under are free.

Transfers & refunds

Tickets are non-refundable, but you can move to another night up to 48 hours before your slot — $5 per ticket, subject to availability, and no refund of the difference when moving to a cheaper night.

Follow these steps and transfer your tickets in your Austin account. Buy only at pumpkinnights.com — third-party resellers are not guaranteed.

Good to know

Weather & access

If it rains

We stay open through minor rain — it is an outdoor farm, so dress for it. If lightning or heavy rain forces a closure, your tickets automatically move to a new date and you will get an email within 24 hours with options to switch nights.

Terrain & accessibility

The ground is grass, dirt, gravel and sand with some inclines. Light strollers manage fine; wheelchairs have proven difficult, so please plan accordingly. Service animals are welcome — other pets are not.

Still wondering about something? Read the FAQs or contact us — we're quick after dark.
