Monstrous vibes meet crisp fall evenings at Night of 1,000 Jack-o'-Lanterns, where artist-carved pumpkins light your way through the Garden after dark. You'll find costumed entertainers and live carving demos along our paved path, as well as seasonal light fare and drinks for purchase. It's (slightly) sinister fun for all.
This event will take place rain or shine. The Garden will close each day at 5 p.m. and will reopen at 6 p.m. for ticketed guests only (this does not include class participants). Tripods and monopods are not allowed during event hours.
A parking fee applies for all general public ticket holders. Buy parking online in advance to save, or you can become a Garden member and always park for free.
Parking fee does not apply to those arriving via a ride-share vehicle. Limited complimentary parking for the following: active duty U.S. military personnel and/or their families, reservists, and former POWs. Please show valid ID at the gatehouse upon entry. Note: Complimentary parking for corporate partners, reciprocal members (i.e., Morton Arboretum, Cantigny Park), and teachers link, WIC card holders, and Museum Passports does not apply to nighttime ticketed events.
