About the event

WhenSat, Oct 24, 12:30 PM to 2:00 PM
Where631 Washington Street, Reading

The Reading YMCA turns its pool into a pumpkin patch for an afternoon of fall fun. Kids hop in the water, pick out a floating pumpkin, and bring it back to dry land to decorate and take home.

There is more to the afternoon than the pumpkins. Swim time, inflatable games in the water, and seasonal treats round out the schedule, making it an easy outing for families looking for something a little different from the usual October activities.

The event runs from 12:30 to 2:00 PM on Saturday, October 24 at 631 Washington Street in Reading. Spots are set aside ahead of time, so families should sign up in advance.
