No. Booking isn't needed, so you can turn up any time while the garden is open.

Do parents have to help with the carving?

Yes. The team explains the carving to the group where they can, then the accompanying adult guides the child and supervises the scooping and cutting.

What should kids wear?

A Halloween costume if they like, since that's the dress code. Pumpkin carving gets messy, so skip good clothes and shoes underneath.

Can parents get a coffee while the kids carve?

Yes, coffee, tea and pumpkin pie are on sale at the garden in October.

About

Pluktuin Amstelveen is a pick-your-own flower garden that grows a pumpkin field for October. On the Halloween weekend, kids pick a pumpkin, design a face, scoop it out and carve it, then move on to extra crafts. Costumes are encouraged, and the garden's own team dresses up too. It suits kids who can scoop and draw while a parent handles the knife. The finished pumpkin goes home with you.

€17.50 per child
