Overview

Every day should start with a tractor ride and pumpkins everywhere! Every fall there is a pumpkin festival – it’s perfect to get in the spirit for Halloween

The pumpkin festival takes place every year the last weekend of September. You can also visit on the weekends throughout October. There are tons of pumpkins in different shapes and colors

Just couldn’t believe how many pumpkins and what cool colors they were!

But, there is more than pumpkins. There is a small tractor the kids can ride

But the real attraction is that they also take the kids for a ride with a real tractor, sitting in the tractor’s trailer! Had to go up there too, since I was carrying my toddler 🙂

The garden is also beautiful to walk around

Thanks to the friendly people working there, the atmosphere is great and we had a very pleasant morning!

Practical stuff

*Bring a bag for pumpkins or other vegetables (there are also beans to pick yourself)
*Cash or Bancontact
*Wear rain boots, as it can get muddy

The entrance is free and you do not need to reserve a spot. You can park in the streets nearby. This is a stroller friendly activity, but keep in mind it can get muddy in the fields

Nearby

You can combine this with the Provincial domain Bois des Rêves, a beautiful domain with a forest and a restaurant by the lake. The playground is pretty great too!

You can also combine it with a visit at Château de La Hulpe, a 4km stroller friendly hike around the 19th-century castle with lakes and forest

You can combine this with the trampoline park Kojump in Waterloo
