Prepare for a splashing good time at Roseville’s Floating Pumpkin Patch 2024! This isn’t your average pumpkin-picking experience – it’s a wet and wild adventure that’ll have you diving into fall fun like never before.
A Pumpkin Patch With a Twist
Forget trudging through muddy fields and dusty patches. On October 20, 2024, the Mike Shellito Indoor Pool in Roseville, California, is turning into the coolest pumpkin patch you’ve ever seen. From 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, you can swap your boots for swimsuits and hunt for the perfect pumpkin in the pool!
Why go traditional when you can go tropical?
This unique event combines the fall favorite of pumpkin picking with the summer joy of swimming. It’s like Halloween meets a beach party; trust us, it’s a combo you didn’t know you needed in your life.
Dive In, The Water’s Fine!
Picture this: You’re floating in the pool, surrounded by bobbing pumpkins of all shapes and sizes. It’s like a game of aquatic hide-and-seek, where the prize is your orange gourd. And the best part? No mud on your shoes or hay in your hair!
But wait, there’s more! The fun’s just beginning once you’ve fished out your perfect pumpkin. Shake off the water and head to the pumpkin decorating station. Here, you can let your creativity run wild, turning your pool-picked pumpkin into a masterpiece.
Not Just for Swimmers
Don’t worry if you’re not keen on getting wet—this event is for everyone! The pool is open for recreational swimming throughout the event, but there’s plenty to do on dry land. Games, bounce houses, and crafts will keep landlubbers entertained while the water babies splash around.
And hey, why not come in costume? It’s encouraged! Just imagine a mermaid picking a pumpkin or Dracula doing the backstroke. Now that’s a sight you don’t see every day!
