“Really great experience and one we will definitely do again... only issue I see if you are not one of the first 3 to 4 show times parking is horrible and takes an additional 30+ mins to just get to parking lot. We were lucky 👻👻”

“The experience was super cool. We went during the earliest time slot on the second day they were open and there was decent crowd but it wasn’t over crowded at all. There was plenty of space to see and take pictures of everything. Some of the displays (see Guernica in pumpkins) were particularly amazing. I especially appreciated the free parking, which was also well organized, and we purchased a giant pumpkin for only $5, which would’ve cost several times that at our local farms. I would easily rate it five stars if it would’ve been just a little bit longer or cost a little bit less. We spent about $80 for a family of three and walked through the whole thing in about 15 minutes which mad what was otherwise a great experience feel like it was lacking just a little. I am glad that we went and we enjoyed it, but I think it will end up being a one time thing for our family unless the price was lowered.”

“This is our 2nd year visiting. We were impressed that the displays were all new or (for the dinosaurs) expanded upon. Impressive carving artistry and multimedia displays on the 5,000 pumpkins, even if a lot are fumpkins vs. organic. It's an upbeat, family-friendly Halloween alternative to the horrorfests around Philly. The ticket prices are too high esp.with added fees and the kids' price is crazy. Go online to get 20-30% off discount coupons. This year they charged an extra $5 for parking which was free before. Park in the shopping center 2 blocks over and walk to Glow.”

“We loved it! Myself, husband, 4 year old, 2 year old, and my parents. So it’s fun for all ages! A bit crowded, so I’d recommend a carrier, stroller, etc, if you have little ones. We pre-bought timed tickets, so we basically walked right in. My only complaint is the line-up to get in to park was super long, so plan to leave about 20 minutes earlier than you think you should.”

“The good things: it's cool and reasonably priced. The bad: a lot of the "pumpkins" are not really carved pumpkins but rather pre-made stuff (presumably from Styrofoam or other materials). But still, pretty cool to look at. There are also concession stand that sells food and drinks (alcoholic beverage available too). Overall it's an ok experience”
