Pumpkin Patch

This year will mark the sixth consecutive year of pumpkin farming at Noah's Ark Zoo Farm and it all began with a happy accident.

“As part of our regular schedule of animal enrichment at the Zoo, the resident elephants in our 20-acre Elephant Eden habitat were given pumpkins as a seasonal treat. A few months later, our team was pleasantly surprised to find an abundance of pumpkins sprouting from the elephant dung heap! This accidental success led to the intentional cultivation of pumpkins, which has now become a cherished annual tradition at the Zoo.” - Larry Bush, Managing Director of Noah's Ark Zoo Farm

The freshly harvested pumpkins are available to purchase from the Farm Shop around the beginning of October. Additionally, Zoo visitors are invited to explore the mesmerizing pumpkin collection and other seasonally themed fun at the annual Pumpkinfest.
