Tickets for Life and Science's Pumpkin Patch Express on sale next week

The popular event, which runs on Saturdays and Sundays from Oct. 4 to Oct. 26, includes a ride on the museum's Ellerbe Creek Railway to the museum's pumpkin patch. There, you can pick a pumpkin to decorate and take home. There also are crafts and other carnival games before returning to the station. 

Once you're done, you can spend the rest of the day exploring the museum.

The event is a fundraiser for the Durham museum. Tickets are $20 for the general public. That includes admission to the museum, which is usually $10 for kids ages 3 to 12 and $14 for adults.
