Magic of the Jack-O'Lanterns: Day Time 2025

Magic of the Jack-O'Lanterns is back at Littleton's Hudson Gardens again this year! 

This year we were unable to make it in the evening, so for something a little different, I decide to visit during the day and check out all of the jack-o'lanterns under the sun. I’m so glad I did, because it was such a different experience from visiting in the evening, and it was lovely to see all of the jack-o’lanterns with the colorful Fall foliage.

If you can only visit once, I definitely recommend going in the evening for the full experience of seeing all of the jack-o’lanterns lit up, as well as the light tunnels, the music, and the tasty food on offer (including make your own s’mores), but a visit during the day is also pretty magical. It’s a great option for families with little kids, people with sensory issues, and anyone who wants to get a closer look at all the details. Plus, visiting during the day is free!

Let’s take a look at this year’s Magic of the Jack-O’Lanterns during the day…

The 90s: The Last Decade Before the Future

Want to feel old?

If you’re a similar age to me, a sure fire way to feel old is to see your teen and early adult years on display in a museum. Yep… I’m officially “my life is a museum exhibit” old!

But it’s all good. It’s nostalgia. It’s memories. 

I’m talking about the fun exhibition “The 90s: The Last Decade Before the Future” currently on display at the History Colorado Center. It’s a celebration of a decade that doesn’t feel that long ago, but also feels a whole world away. A decade and a time long gone.

Just like the 90s, the exhibition is about to become a thing of the past, with only a few days left to visit. So grab your Discman and your Blockbuster membership card, throw on a pair of parachute pants, look up History Colorado Center in your street directory, and make your way there by this weekend to revisit the nostalgia of the 90s.

Let’s take a look at what you’ll find…
