Get ready for Pumpkin Palooza, an exciting family-friendly Halloween event at Discovery Cube Orange County. It’s a great way for little scientists to get into the spirit of the season. Dance parties, discoveries, and darn great memories await!
As a “Cube Creator,” or Discovery Cube ambassador, I receive complimentary admission to facilitate this review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
What to Expect at Pumpkin Palooza at Discovery Cube OC
This separate-ticket experience consists of two main parts: the pumpkin festival & the dance party. Plus, you’ll get to enjoy all of the Discovery Cube’s exhibits when you visit, including the newly updated Dino Quest.

The festival combines spooky season and science in a kid-friendly space! Your Pumpkin Palooza ticket will allow you to enjoy:

Dance Party
