LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The best Halloween attraction in Louisville is happening this year, but the Jack O'Lantern Spectacular will be drive-thru this year because of the pandemic.
Fans of the pumpkin show will be able to enjoy the Spectacular Oct. 1 through Nov. 1 at Iroquois Park.
Each night there will only be a limited number of cars allowed to drive through the park, so fans are encouraged to buy tickets online. It will cost $35 for cars, SUVs, and minivans and tickets are $50 for passenger vans and limousines.
