SkyPark at Santa’s Village

Go pumpkin picking in the pines as a Halloween-themed month of activities hits this perennially Christmas Lake Arrowhead amusement park. Each weekend in October, SkyPark at Santa’s Village hosts its Pumpkins in the Pines activities, with pumpkins and hay bales covering the grounds of the park. Though the park is open select days during the week, the Hallowen activities are limited to Saturdays and Sundays. That’s when you’ll find pumpkin picking and painting, photo ops, a Sleepy Hollow puppet show, a Monster Mash light show, costume contests and trick-or-treating. Reservations aren’t required, but you can secure a better rate by buying tickets in advance. Also, just a heads-up that some activities cost a few bucks extra.
