- 🎃 Pumpkin Workshop
Pumpkin decorating workshop (pumpkin provided):
You choose your pumpkin and, using our templates, draw the face. The instructor cuts off the top, then lets you work on your own to scoop out the insides with a spoon and remove the seeds.
Once the inside is clean, the instructor will come to carve the face: cutting out the eyes, nose, and mouth...
You’ll take your pumpkin home in a bag, along with a candle to light it up at home—and get a little spooky!
💡 The workshop takes place indoors and is led by our Gally activity leaders.
New format: You’ll wander among the different stations to work on your pumpkin at your own pace. - 👻 Storytime
Immerse yourself in the Jack-o’-Lantern atmosphere with a storytime led by our team. Sessions at 11 a.m., 12 p.m., 2 p.m., 3 p.m., 4 p.m., 5 p.m., and 6 p.m. - 🐐 Farm Tour and Meet the Animals
After the workshop, come meet our animals: dwarf goats, sheep, a horse, a donkey, Vietnamese pigs, rabbits, chickens, Indian runner ducks, a turkey, and guinea fowl.
The farm tour is included with your ticket and is valid all day.

The children handled very little, as it was too difficult for them.

If I could have put no stars. Useless experiment. No deco inside the workshop. No refreshments for the kids or Halloween candy. Having done the one at la croix verte last year, I'm super disappointed with st denis. At la croix verte it was more lively, with music, deco, drinks, cake and candy! And the escorts didn't pay. My children and I are more than disappointed!

The price of 10e was far too expensive for the workshop offered.

Big disappointment! I went with my little girls last year it was great with the story of the pumpkin it was well organized staff very nice, this year new staff (we have regulars) exceeded poorly organized children and parents do everything alone! 1st time disappointed with the farm, thank you for reviewing all this, it's a shame

It wasn't up to the parents to make the pumpkin. This was not mentioned in the announcement. It would have been nice to have staff who could manage a group of 3 or 4 children, so that it would have been more fun for them.

Very expensive, not worth it. Better to buy pumpkins and do the '''' activities at home. It'll save the detour...

There are problems with your technique. You need to scrape the pumpkin to remove all traces of slime, inside and out. Moisture will cause it to rot quickly. When you cut, you need to cut at an angle to widen the opening inside, for two reasons: firstly, so you can push the piece in, and secondly, to let the light through. These are the appropriate tools. With a saw blade, ordinary knives like the one you used are likely to cut you. https://amzn.eu/d/aDcZ5Jo

Disappointing workshop compared to the bread workshop, but the place is great for kids.

The pumpkin workshop was a good idea and my children were delighted to take part. On the other hand, my daughter was very disappointed to have missed her pumpkin, and no gesture was offered to make up for it. It's a shame, especially after buying four pumpkins at €12 each. A little attention would have made the experience more positive.

Great idea for a workshop, but too many children/people at the same time, which means a very high noise level, a facilitator who does what he can but doesn't have 50 arms... an impression of a rushed workshop, quickly dispatched... It's a pity, because we've already taken part in other workshops (bread, for example) and they were very good.
