No rattling is required when it comes to embracing one of the most adorable autumn pop-ups in Southern California, a patch that hatched nearly 40 years ago.<\/p>\n
Real magic has a way of embracing movement, and Mr. Bones Pumpkin Patch<\/a> has shown up in a few regional cities since its 1987 launch. Wherever the patch sprouted, it readily welcomed thousands of kids and grown-ups who were eager for a nostalgic and airy outing and some sweet seasonal activities.<\/p>\n Recent years have found the bones-y bastion bringing the cute fall fun times to Culver City, which is where pumpkins, and occasional special doings, are now in full flower through Oct. 31.<\/p>\n The address is 10100 Jefferson Boulevard and general admission is $12 to $20, depending on the day of your visit (tickets and information are available on the Mr. Bones site).<\/p>\n Once you’re inside and bones-ing around, you can expect a few classic sights, like the popular Pumpkin Village, and photo spots created with seasonal pizzazz.<\/p>\n There’s a petting zoo, too, with goats and other critters. Is petting a goat a rite of fall? Even if the rest of your year is distinctly lacking in goat-petting? We think this may be the case.<\/p>\n Weekends at Mr. Bones offer additional pursuits, with entertainment, a birds of prey show, and special events gracing Saturdays and Sundays. There’s also a D\u00eda de los Muertos celebration Oct. 25, beckoning all merry-making calacas for a day of spirited revelry.<\/p>\n Checking out the shows and tune? There’s quite a line-up: The Scarolers are set to croon in eeky style, while The California Feetwarmers will break out the banjos and twang. <\/p>\n The full music-and-merriment line-up is listed on this page<\/a>, if there is an act you can’t miss.<\/p>\n A variety of food trucks will also call upon the squash-packed scene on select dates, with Maravilla Latin Cuisine and other local favorites slated to appetizingly appear.<\/p>\n
