A unique daytime holiday attraction located in East Hampton, Connecticut

Have you ever wondered how the Pumpkinheads celebrate the season? Just like you and I! With Christmas carols, holiday decorating, ice skating, sledding, snowshoeing and skiing too! The Pumpkintown Forest has everything the Pumpkinheads need to make the season bright: a tree farm for their fresh cut Christmas trees, a blacksmith that offers skate sharpening, a trading post and country store for everyday goods and more. There’s even a schoolhouse where the little forest elves learn their abc’s and 123’s. During the holiday season it truly is the place to be! Treat your family to The Christmas Ride and see for yourself!

On this mile-long drive you’ll see over 30 Pumpkinhead characters in 17 creative settings reminiscent of holidays of bygone days.
