Did you know…
Give your Halloween pumpkin a second life! Join us at Discovery Cube Orange County for our annual Pumpkins With Purpose composting event on Saturday, November 1.

🎃 Pumpkin Drop Off: Don’t toss it—compost it! Bring your pumpkin to Discovery Cube and we’ll turn it into something wonderful. Plus, when you compost your pumpkin, you’ll receive a coupon for a free child ticket with the purchase of an adult admission. Since we are collecting pumpkins for composting, please ensure they are free from non-organic materials such as pipe cleaners, buttons, candles, candle holders, stickers, etc.
