Pink Pumpkin Patch on the hotel’s 18th floor incorporates gourds of unexpected hues—some o’-lanterned—into the grassy Stories/TikTok wall, bench setup and aforementioned steps. There are also the apparently nude, human-sized anthropomorphic bunnies with which Magic Hour has aligned itself, and some hay.
The Moxy’s Magic Hour’s Pink Pumpkin Patch’s menu also includes on-theme treats like a flaming pink pumpkin dessert, “mummy” Krispies and caramel apples and cupcakes with spiders and skulls on top, respectively.

1. John - 1 star
I was really disappointed with the New Orleans Voodoo Doll. I had heard so much about it and thought it would be a thrilling experience. However, it turned out to be a complete letdown. The doll itself looked cheap and poorly made, and it didn't even have any traditional voodoo symbols on it. The instructions were also vague and unclear, making it difficult to know what to do with the doll. Overall, I found it to be a waste of money and would not recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic voodoo experience.

I had high hopes for the New Orleans Voodoo Doll, but unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations. The doll itself was decently made, but the instructions were lacking. They didn't provide enough information on how to properly use the doll and perform any rituals. Additionally, the set didn't come with any accessories or additional items that could enhance the experience. For the price I paid, I expected a more comprehensive kit.
