Smashing Pumpkins

Why squander that worn-out jack-o-lantern when you can transform it into exciting science? Convert your porch décor into a pumpkin projectile and explore Newton’s laws of motion using our giant trebuchet! (Pumpkin launching will occur weather permitting) Or add your carved creation to a colossal orange edifice for target practice! Plus, construct a mini-catapult of your own, create a craft, design autumn artwork, and fashion a feeder for feathered friends. When the launching ends, pumpkin pieces are collected and fed to local sheep – everybody wins as we celebrate the harvest with a smashing good time! Included with Discovery Center admission.
