Grab your family and head on down to the 1978 annual Pumpkin Junction Fall Festival, where we celebrate the last Fall train with games, food and, most importantly, the yearly Pumpkin carving contest. But when the contest is mysteriously sabotaged, our gang of amateur sleuths make it their mission to uncover the mystery that lies behind this year’s old tradition. Be a part of the mystery as our group tries to solve the case of the Haunting of Pumpkin Junction. Our show begins 15 minutes before boarding, at our Town Square Stage right at the heart of the station, so please plan to arrive 30 minutes before departure so you don’t miss even one second of this mysterious adventure! The show will continue aboard our beautiful historic train cars and conclude back at the station, so stick around after deboarding and head back over to the Town Square Stage for the haunting conclusion of our mystery.
