We arrived at Hudson Gardens and found parking in an overflow lot. Free parking for Magic of the Jack O'Lanterns is available onsite and free overflow parking is available across South Santa Fe Drive at Arapahoe Community College. Once parked, we headed inside Hudson Gardens and began enjoying the exhibit. There was a glowing trail that we followed through all of the Halloween displays. The walking trail was 1/2 mile and the event was entirely outdoors - we made sure to dress appropriately in jackets and wore comfortable walking shoes.

The pumpkin displays were brilliantly aglow and included a pumpkin graveyard (my favorite), a nautical sea-scape, dinosaurs, dragons and so much more.

There were drink stations and food trucks throughout the event space. There was alcohol available for purchase for those 21+ (IDs were checked onsite). We stopped to grab some eats about halfway through the exhibit. We started with grilled cheeses from the Cheese Love Grill which featured Rocky Mountain gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches. I had the BBQ Chicken Grilled Cheese and Ross had the Street Taco Grilled Cheese.

These were the best grilled cheeses we’ve ever had. The BBQ Chicken Grilled Cheese was made with BBQ chicken, cheddar jack cheese & ranch on sourdough. The sweetness from the BBQ and tanginess from the cheese were everything. The crunch of the buttery sourdough enveloped each gooey, piping hot bite of cheese, ranch & shredded chicken.

The Street Taco Grilled Cheese was made with carne asada, mozzarella & green chili on sourdough.

This was an insanely tasty comfort food grilled cheese. The tender carne asada and melty mozzarella made for the perfect savory flavor combo. The green chili provided a tangy taste of tomatillos with a subtle warm, sweetness.

For dessert we had the Cookies & Cream Funnel Cake.

The Cookies & Cream Funnel Cake was a hefty serving of deep fried dough topped with powdered sugar, chocolate drizzle, whipped cream & Oreo cookie crumbles - the ultimate Halloween treat

Once we finished eating, we got back on the exhibit trail and continued enjoying the pumpkin displays. This was such a fun way to get into the Halloween spirit and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Big thanks to Magic of the Jack O'Lanterns, Michelle Ellis and Ellis Communications Marketing for hosting us!
