Is there a family ticket?

Yes. The family ticket is €61.50 for 2 adults and up to 3 children. Buying online lets you skip the ticket office queue; concession tickets are only sold on site.

Restaurant Kräutergarten on the estate serves a special pumpkin menu until November 2, and Café Arkadenhof is on site too.

The pumpkin sculptures are all outdoors in the gardens, so bring rain gear. The palace rooms are covered by the same ticket if you need to get indoors for a while.

About

This autumn the Baroque gardens at Schloss Hof fill with around 400 varieties of pumpkin, from small ornamental ones to giants. Thousands of pumpkins are stacked into sculptures you walk between: a Frog Prince, a honeycomb, a compass and a chessboard with royal pieces. The estate ticket also covers the palace and the estate farm with its animals, so there is more to see once the pumpkins are done.

Under 6 free, kids €13.50, adults €24
