Some of our pumpkins are live pumpkins and others are molded from real pumpkins and then hand carved by amazing artists both locally and throughout the country to produce this fabulous experience. Real or molded, EVERY SINGLE ONE has been carved by hand by our artists. Due to their weight and the fact that live pumpkins rot quickly once carved, we would be unable to construct some of the amazing pumpkin structures that you will experience at Magic of the Jack O’Lanterns with live pumpkins.
We get many of our pumpkins from local farmers throughout the region.
Some pumpkins take two hours to carve and others take two days. Believe it or not some of the pumpkins that are created from molds take even longer to create. They are real sculptures and works of art. Our artisans are carving all year to be able to produce the jack o’lanterns you will see before you at Magic of the Jack O’Lantern.
