Get ready to dive into the spookiest, splashiest event of the season! The Pumpkin Splash Patch is making a big splash in El Dorado Hills, California, on Saturday, October 19, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. This isn’t your average pumpkin patch—it’s a wet and wild adventure that combines the best of Halloween fun with pool-time excitement.
A Pumpkin Hunt Like No Other
Forget trudging through muddy fields to find your perfect pumpkin. You’ll dive for gourds in a heated pool at the Pumpkin Splash Patch. That’s right – your quest for the ideal Jack-o’-lantern just got much more refreshing. Imagine the giggles and splashes as kids (and, let’s be honest, adults, too) swim around, eyeing up the perfect pumpkin floating nearby. It’s like bobbing for apples, but bigger, orange, and way more fun!
Not Just Any Old Swim
While the main attraction is the pumpkin hunt, the event also includes open swim time. So, if you’re not in the mood to chase after gourds, you can still enjoy a dip in the pool. It’s a great way to squeeze in one last swim before the cooler autumn weather sets in. Plus, who doesn’t love the idea of swimming in October? It’s like giving summer one last high-five before bundling up for fall.
Crafty Creations
The fun doesn’t stop there once you’ve fished out your perfect pumpkin. The event includes a pumpkin decorating session. Will you go for a classic scary face or perhaps a funny expression? Maybe you’ll create a pumpkin masterpiece that’ll be the talk of the neighborhood. Whatever you choose, it’s sure to be a great time!
A Spooktacular Deal
The best part? The price of admission includes everything – the pumpkin hunt, open swim, and decorating materials. It’s a complete package of fall fun that won’t break the bank. Plus, you can take your pumpkin home, giving you a unique souvenir to remember your aquatic adventure.
