My favorite seasonal pop-up is back! Jack’s Pumpkin Pop-Up features Insta-worthy photo opps and a corn maze, as well as food & drink, carnival-style games, axe throwing and pumpkins for an additional cost. This year I attended with my sister, and we got to enjoy some of those add-ons. Read below to learn more about our experience!
Jack’s Pumpkin Pop-Up Photo Opps
This 2-arce pop-up is open now through October 31, 2021 in Goose Island. The best part about the event, in my opinion, are the photo opps. They have so many! Some are fall themed, while others deal more with pop culture. My favorite spots were the pumpkin house featured at the entrance of the pop-up (shown above), the fortune teller’s crystal ball, a black and white angel mural, a pink #freebritney cage, and Winafred’s spell book from Hocus Pocus. There were also some odes to Jack Skeleton, autumn, coffins, and more.
Jack’s Pumpkin Pop-Up Food & Drink
Aside from your usual water and soda, food and alcohol are offered at this pop-up. We ordered a cheeseburger and hot dog. My sister was pleasantly surprised to see that the cheeseburger came on a pretzel bun! The hot dog was pretty good, too. Also on the menu were walking tacos, grilled corn on the cob, elote, hot pretzels, nachos & cheese, Cheetos with cheese, and apple cider donuts. The donuts were delicious! Full bars are offered for those 21+ and up.
