Description: |
Rise of The Jack O'Lanterns 2016 Long Island Halloween Attraction at the Old Westbury Gardens in Old Westbury, Nassau County, Long Island, New York.
Come see thousands of hand-carved illuminated jack o'lanterns creatively arranged along a scenic walking path and set to a musical score designed to bring out the Halloween spirit in visitors of all ages! The various new and exciting themes created for 2016 are sure to impress both RISE newbies and returning RISE fans.
This year, we are doubling the number of intricately carved 100+ pound pumpkins on display which our artists spend 10-15 hours on per pumpkin to illustrate and carve to perfection. We are also bringing back our iconic multi-pumpkin structures that consist of dozens of illuminated jack o'lanterns assembled into life-sized pieces of art. You will see classic fan-favorites like life-sized dinosaurs, dragons, and safari animals, as well as a number of new structures featuring time-honored characters from some favorite movies, including one that will make you feel like you are in a galaxy far, far, away.
Our live carving efforts are expanding for 2016 so that you can learn more about how we do what we do. We will have four live-carving stations where you can watch our artists create the different types of displays you see in the show all right before your eyes. Watch us illustrate and carve our famous 100+ pound pumpkins, see us build a multi-pumpkin jack o'lantern structure similar to our iconic raptor skeletons, catch some of the most talented pumpkin sculptors in the country carving our signature 3D sculpted pumpkins, and learn how our team churns out thousands of Halloween jack o'lanterns per day, in our Mini Carving Factory.
At The RISE, we've always had a mixture of jack o'lantern art hand-carved from both fresh real pumpkins and from life-like carveable artificial pumpkins. We're going to continue that tradition this year because there are certain things we can only do with real pumpkins and certain things we can only do with artificial ones. For the first time in 2016, we're planning on carving and lighting 5,000 fresh real pumpkins each weekend at each location. We're planning on bringing in hundreds of carvers over a 2-day period prior to each weekend to get all the work done at each location.
The RISE is the only jack o'lantern event in North America that comes close to carving 5,000 real pumpkins each weekend at each location (and doing it on two coasts simultaneously isn't a walk through the pumpkin patch either).
The pumpkin trail at RISE of the Jack O'Lanterns is well lit and well staffed to ensure that the experience is always safe and enjoyable for visitors of all ages. Come visit The RISE and enjoy a unique, family-friendly experience that lasts a lifetime. |
