Families can enjoy the fall tradition from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays with extended hours for family days on Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The familyfriendly fall event transforms the museum grounds into a pumpkin wonderland filled with seasonal fun for all ages.

Admission for the Pumpkin Adventure is $12.00 per person for ages 1 and up.
