Experience the magic of autumn at Bloedel Reserve. Wander the trails surrounded by brilliant fall color as you join our Annual Squash Hunt.

Pick up a map and search for decorative squash tucked throughout the gardens. Young explorers can grab a Passport from the Arrival Garden. With it in hand, kids can stop at our new destinations signs along the way and create rubbings of each destination to complete their fall adventure.

Don’t miss the Sheep Sheds—climb into the hay bales, pose for fun photos, and challenge friends to pumpkin tic-tac-toe or checkers. Stop by the Residence to guess the weight of the giant pumpkin.

Join us for pumpkin painting during our Fall Harvest Celebration on October 3 (11–4 PM) or Welcome Wednesday October 7 (1–4 PM).

Your masterpiece will be entered in our Pumpkin Contest—entries will be displayed all month long, with voting beginning October 8. The winner receives their choice of six guest admission passes or a complimentary Friends & Family Membership.

All Squash Hunt activities are included with the price of admission. Timed tickets are recommended.
