2024 Halloween Pumpkin Plunge

~ Alga Norte Aquatic Center in Carlsbad ~

 

Halloween is just around the corner and stores are filled with decorations, and have been for some time. The Carlsbad pumpkin patch and corn maze are open, and it’s a little over 1 week to the 2024 Carlsbad Pumpkin Plunge.

 

This popular annual floating pumpkin patch is held at the Alga Norte Community Center in South Carlsbad (La Costa area), at 6565 Alicante Road (corner of Poinsettia Lane), on Saturday October 19th from 5:00 to 8:00 pm. This event is one of several held each year at the Aquatics Center.

Carlsbad kids will have a chance to lasso their favorite pumpkin from the floating pumpkin patch, using a hula hoop, to take them home for carving, decorating, and Halloween festivities. You’ll likely find only the traditional orange pumpkins good for decorating, not the ones pictured in the feature photo.

 

Be sure to bring a bathing suit so you can enjoy all the fun in the pool including the pumpkin patch, floating obstacles and games!

 

The fun in and out of the pool will include several Halloween-themed lawn activities. There will also be a Bounce House and plenty of opportunities for photos! The Splash Pad will be open for the younger children.

 

Food and beverages are available for purchase throughout the evening. Please remember that beverages and food cannot be brought in from outside the venue.

 

The cost is $10 per person; children aged 3 and under are free but they must be registered at check-out.

 

To save time, pick up wristbands before the event, available at the Alga Norte Aquatics Center during normal business hours only, beginning 1 week before the event.

 

You can Register before the Pumpkin Plunge. The event is limited to 500, and is expected to sell out, so don’t delay! Tickets will be sold at the Plunge if not sold out but I would not count on it. All sales are final – no refunds!

That sounds like a fun time.   All will get to see how many of the kids have seen the older western movies.

I don't think I would want to take the plunge but I would certainly enjoy watching everyone else having fun at this event, haha.

It WOULD be fun to watch in person, wouldn't it Brian England, even without plunging.

Hi Jeff... this pumpkin plunge should be something that kids really enjoy! I was trying to think if we had anything like this in the Charlotte area but couldn't remember... will need to do some research.

Thanks Nina Hollander, Broker  No doubt the kids really have fun.

I did some searching and found a number of similar events.
