Pumpkin City at Laguna Hills Mall

Welcome to Pumpkin City at Laguna Hills Mall, where the straw on the ground really does have the effect of making you forget you’re in the parking lot next to Sears.

This place is like a carnival, complete with rides that have little in common with pumpkins:

Pumpkins + Boat Ride = Wha…?

A John Deer track that at least kept with a rural theme:

“I don’t time have to smile. Can’t you see I’m looking cool on my sweet ride?”

And the kid-friendly, Riley-abused bounce house:

“I don’t have time to smile. Can’t you see I’ve reached the top of the ladder and it’s my turn to SLIDE?!”

I left that day with no pumpkin, considerably less money, and blue raspberry sno-cone stains to clean out of child-size T-shirts. But, oh, how happy they were. The things parents do…

    God bless and good luck with the stains.

  • Love the pictures, it looks like fun. I took my grandson to a pumpkin patch this week-end, and they had a carnival, petting zoo, pony rides etc. Lots of fun.
