Pumpkins @ Lower Drayton Farm
Visitors head out into the fields with wheelbarrows to pick pumpkins in various shapes, sizes, and colours straight from the patch, or choose produce undercover. Guests can scoop and carve their jack-o'-lanterns in the indoor carving barn, explore Pumpkin Village's seasonal displays and photo backdrops, and visit the Pumpkin Café for warm drinks, hot food, and s'mores toasting.
