A year ago, my visit to Pumpkin Inferno was what brought my views up to this crazy level that took me about another 6 months to break. Word of mouth is a crazy and awesome thing, just my boyfriend’s coworker sharing it on their Facebook page and boom! My views were crazy. If you’d like to see that post, check it out HERE!
This year, I went with not only my boyfriend but 6 other friends including fellow blogger Day’s. Earlier than last year, so that it wouldn’t be as cold. This past weekend was the first weekend of its launch (if I’m not mistaken) and man, was it ever crowded at the beginning of the trail.
Compared to last year, they had similar pumpkin carvings but they did change the trail and modify how certain exhibits looked and then they added one new exhibit called The House of Horoscopes.
A quick look at the better pictures that I took for Pumpkin Inferno! 🙂
It was still very fun. Plus, the crowd spread out once we got into the wider area where the actual trail spreads out to both sides. Going earlier this year also gave us a warmer weather. If you do go, dress warm. I felt comfortable with jeans, tank top, t-shirt and sweater (layers do miracles) and then even added a scarf once the sun completely went down.
Its definitely a great experience! I still had lots of fun. The creativity behind this entire event is so awesome!
The House of Horoscopes was my favorite as if there wasn’t that many people, the best way was to lie down on the grass and admire the details, just like you would if you were looking up at the stars and searching constellations. By the way, there are certain areas in the path where its darker and if you lift your head, you see a sky full of stars. We took in a bit of that rare scene. Living in the big city has that disadvantage. We’re lucky if we even see a star in the sky, let alone a sky dotted with them just sparkling away!
If you are close to Upper Canada Village, its well worth it. Our drive was about an hour and 40 minutes each way and it wasn’t long and tiring either. Nothing really ever replaces fun times with friends 🙂
