Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to bring anything?
Just yourself! We supply all the carving tools and templates. If you’d like to wear gloves or bring your own special tools, you’re welcome to.
Are the carving tools kid-safe?
We provide a kid-friendly carving knives and scoops. However, adult supervision is required for all children. We also have a larger knife that one of our staff can use to cut the top or bottom open for you.
Can I paint my pumpkin instead of carving it?
We love the creativity, but painting tends to be much messier and takes longer to dry so for this event, we stick to carving only. Thanks for understanding!
