Pumpkin Plunge 💦🎃

Take the Halloween fun into the water with a lineup of special activities inside The St. James Pool.

Pumpkin Rescue

Put your water-safety skills to the test!

Reach, throw, and swim your way through a series of rescue challenges as you work to safely recover your pumpkin.

Cardboard Pirate Ship Regatta 🏴‍☠️

Regatta begins at 2:30 PM.

Build your ship, gather your crew, and prepare to set sail!

Design and decorate your own cardboard pirate vessel at home, then bring it to Pumpkin Plunge to put its seaworthiness to the test.

Crews can compete in two challenges:

Time Trial — Race the Clock

Complete one lap of the course as quickly as possible. The three fastest successful voyages will earn prizes.

Survival Challenge — Last Ship Floating Speed isn't everything! Keep sailing for as many complete laps as your cardboard ship can survive. The vessel completing the greatest number of laps before sinking, capsizing, or abandoning ship will take the survival title.

Regatta Prizes

Winning crews will receive day passes to The St. James Pool & Water Park.

Winners will be announced at the conclusion of the event and must be present to claim their prize.

Ship Requirements & Safety

Ships must be constructed primarily from corrugated cardboard and tape and must be propelled by human power.

Pirate creativity and decoration are highly encouraged!

All vessels will undergo a pre-launch seaworthiness inspection, and all sailors must wear an approved life jacket while competing.

Floating Obstacle Course

Climb, crawl, balance, and splash your way across our Floating Obstacle Course for a fast-paced aquatic challenge.

Life jackets will be provided and must be worn by all participants.

Log Rolling

Guests can enjoy Log Rolling from 1:00–4:00 PM, where a dedicated instructor will be available to help participants learn the basics, build confidence, and have fun on the water.

Designed to be beginner-friendly and accessible for all skill levels, it's a great opportunity to try something new, compete against your friends, and test your balance.
