The attraction took over after the Jack O’Lantern Spectacular moved to Kentucky Kingdom this year. Visitors said the new display still offered plenty to see, including tall stacks of carved pumpkins and intricate designs.

But the change has left at least one nearby business concerned about the effect on its seasonal customer traffic. B.A. Colonial, on West Kenwood Drive, has relied on visitors drawn to Iroquois Park and its amphitheater, managing partner Jaime Hazelbaker said.

Hazelbaker said the restaurant has not yet received its official monthly numbers, but staff have noticed fewer customers. In the week before Halloween, the restaurant usually has a line out the door, Hazelbaker said; this year, it had not seen one.

The restaurant is looking to upcoming holiday events to help bring customers in, Hazelbaker said.

For families attending the trail, the renamed attraction has been a welcome reason to return. Visitor Dave Butwill said his family enjoyed the pumpkins and was able to gather together for the visit. Another visitor, Josh Thomason, praised the detail in the carvings.

The early observations at B.A. Colonial do not yet establish how the move has affected the restaurant’s overall business. Hazelbaker said the official monthly figures are still pending.
