It’s a Barnyard Halloween at the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum! You are invited to enjoy special activities just right for the occasion. Make some ghoulish treats, create a creepy craft, learn all about bats, and visit a spooky barn. Costumed visitors young and old alike can join the costume parade. Children will also be able to decorate a pumpkin to bring home.
Children can search the museum’s pumpkin patch for the perfect pumpkin. Then, they are invited to head inside to decorate their pumpkin with a variety of craft materials (ex: pipe cleaners, yarn, stickers, etc.) to bring home. Visitors can also learn about different varieties of pumpkins and the pumpkin’s life cycle.
