LeFrak Center at Lakeside · Prospect Park
Pumpkins, corn mazes, yard games & more — all season long.
Prospect Park's first fall celebration takes over Lakeside with a pumpkin patch, a corn maze, yard games, tarot readers, seasonal food, and the (much scarier) Haunted Hotel next door. Something for every age, open every day through Halloween and beyond.

Know Before You Go
Frequently asked questions.
Is the Fall Festival scary?
No — the Pumpkin Patch, Corn Maze, and Yard & Family Games are all family-friendly and open to every age. The one scary attraction, the Haunted Hotel, is a separate ticketed experience recommended for guests 13 and up.
What does the All-Access Pass include?
Corn maze entry, full access to Yard & Family Games, and one small pumpkin with painting — plus full grounds access for the rest of the festival. It does not include the Haunted Hotel or Tarot Reading.
Can I buy tickets the day of?
Yes, most festival activities are available for walk-up purchase on site as space allows, though advance tickets are recommended for weekends.
Do I need a separate ticket for the Haunted Hotel?
Yes. The Haunted Hotel is ticketed on its own site with its own timed entry windows, so it can be capacity-managed independently from the rest of the festival.
Is there parking?
Street parking is available around Prospect Park; Lakeside is also reachable by the B/Q trains to Prospect Park station and several bus lines.
