Fall Fun Events

Summer is over but, hey, don’t be sad — our Fall Fun Events will cheer you up!

If you haven’t been to a corn maze, pumpkin patch, harvest festival or apple orchard, you don’t know what you’re missing! Autumn is one of the best times of year for a family day out, with pumpkin picking, corn mazes, hayrides, farm animals, seasonal food and plenty of opportunities for some great family photos. Here is a short guide to what you can expect, and below, as always, you will find our list:

• Pumpkin patch: This can be either a field where pumpkins grow, where you can pick your own, or a place where already-harvested pumpkins are piled up and you choose your favourites.
• Corn maze: A perfect autumn adventure for kids of almost any age! As the corn grows tall, it creates a natural maze, with farmers cutting paths and patterns through the field. Some mazes even offer nighttime experiences!
• Hayride: An open wagon ride where wagons decorated with hay are pulled by a tractor or drawn by horses.

And now for the fun part! Here is our list of corn mazes, pumpkin events, pumpkin patches and pick-your-own pumpkin farms in and around Luxembourg, sorted by distance from Luxembourg City. Some are quite a drive, but they can make a great destination for a full autumn day out!
