Hillsborough, NJ • All Ages
Join us on November 1st for The Great Pumpkin Smash, a lively celebration of fall! Enjoy classic autumn activities like a corn maze, hayrides, and a petting zoo. The highlight? Smash your own pumpkin for a messy, exhilarating experience that’s fun for all ages. Dress for adventure and prepare for a memorable day!
The Great Pumpkin Smash is more than just an event — it’s a celebration of everything messy, fun, and fall. On November 1st from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, join us for a unique seasonal experience where guests of all ages can dive into classic autumn activities with a twist.
Wander through a crisp corn maze, take a scenic hayride around the grounds, and meet friendly animals at our petting zoo. But the real highlight? Pumpkin Smashing. Grab your own bare (unpainted, undecorated) pumpkin and take a swing — it’s loud, messy, and ridiculously fun.
This isn’t just for kids — it’s for anyone who loves the sound of fall leaves underfoot and the thrill of smashing something in the name of seasonal joy.
$18 per person covers all activities. Dress for the weather, wear shoes you don’t mind getting dirty, and prepare to have a smashing good time.
Wear clothes and shoes you don’t mind getting dirty or stained during the pumpkin smashing and farm activities.
Some farm vendors may only accept cash, so bring some along for snacks and souvenirs.

Keep a close watch on children during the pumpkin smash to ensure safety amid flying pumpkin pieces.
