Until October 31st, you can visit the Pumpkin Park in Bari — a place where children can fully experience the Halloween atmosphere. Kids have the chance to pick pumpkins directly from the field and turn them into Jack O’Lanterns.
The attraction is also designed for adults, who can choose and harvest their own pumpkin from the huge garden. Inspired by the many recipes that use this orange vegetable, they’ll have plenty of culinary options.
What You’ll Find at the Pumpkin Park in Bari
At the Pumpkin Park, you’ll discover a welcoming and fun environment — a kind of “pop agriculture.” The garden is the star of the show: thousands of orange pumpkins are available for both children and adults.
Walking among Halloween-themed decorations, you’ll come across the carving workshop. In this creative space, with the help of expert carvers, visitors can shape their pumpkin and turn it into a spooky lantern.
Spending time in this slow-paced setting is a real antidote to the stress of everyday life.
