Welcome to Pumpkintown USA in East Hampton

One of the first harbingers of fall in Central Connecticut is the opening of Pumpkintown at Paul and Sandy's Garden Center in East Hampton. If you are like us, you usually come upon it quite by accident as you are innocently driving along Route 66.  

On the weekends if you are not planning to visit Pumpkintown, it is often wise to avoid the area since there will be crowds and traffic is stopped so that people can cross the street. 

Children and adults all love this. It has been a very popular fall destination for the better part of 25 years. Pumpkintown is open every day but on the weekend there is a hayride that is very popular. 

An entrance fee is charged and an additional fee for the hayride with a part of every entrance going to the Sandy Peszynski Breast Cancer Foundation. This is the perfect time to pick up your seasonal pumpkin as well, either painted or natural. 

If you want to see just how cute this is, take a ride by during the week when carloads of little children can often be seen running in and out of the buildings and bouncing on the tires. It is good family fun and extremely popular.
