Our animated children’s story, featuring Otto the Ghost, leads children and adults through a new story each year that focuses on friendship, family and Halloween cheer. In addition, we encourage children and adults to grow their own pumpkins to enter in our giant pumpkin contest and get creative with carving and decorating for our annual pumpkin carving contest.
During the week, we will bring your school group through all of the exciting events and they leave with a pumpkin and a fresh picked apple.
Otto the Ghost is available for picture-taking weekends only.
Roasted Corn & Popcorn available weekends only.

Great Family Fun
I've been going to Hicks for about 30 years - as a kid my grandparents would take me and my cousin and today I bring my family every year. The kids love it and look forward to it every year. Love the pumpkin carving and you must try the apple cider! Of course the Otto the Ghost walk through is adorable!
