Pumpkin Village Preview Weekend


‹‹ More Fall Festival Fun

Pumpkins, playtime, and animals await the Pumpkin Village Fall Festival — one of NOVA’s most popular fall festivals!

From September 12-November 8, 2026, at Leesburg Animal Park, enjoy more than 20 acres of fall fun! Daily, except Tuesdays (open Tues, Nov 3), you’ll find everything you’ve come to expect, including high-energy activities like giant hill slides, pedal carts, a zip line, moon bounces, a giant pumpkin pillow bounce, straw tunnels, a spider web crawl, and much, much more.

There are also plenty of climb-and-play structures, a kiddie hay maze, a corn bin, wagon rides, and lawn games throughout, plus an indoor play area when everyone needs a breather.

Don’t forget about all the feathered, furry, and scaled creatures that call Leesburg Animal Park home! The park’s camels, zebras, lemurs, and other incredible animals can’t wait to see you again. There are even some animals you can pet and feed by hand, plus pony rides, too (fee-based).

On weekends and Monday, October 12, 2026 (Indigenous Peoples’ Day), there’s even more fun, including live entertainment, professional face painting, complimentary cider tastings, and seasonal Apple & Pumpkin Cookies (while supplies last).

Tickets must be purchased in advance, online.
