REMINDER: You do not need to pay entry to the zoo to get to our farm shop and pumpkin patch! Come and browse the gourds and pumpkins, and grab a warming cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate. Pumpkinfest is a dog friendly event.

So what's the Story...

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.

Staff discovered pumpkins growing from an Elephant dung pile a few years ago after elephants ate pumpkins and the undigested seeds self-planted to create an unexpected organic pumpkin patch.

Each year the Zoo & Farm Shop celebrate these pumpkins with an exclusive event... Pumpkin Fest.

This year, Pumpkin Fest will include a whole host of exciting celebrations, from a pick your own patch, to pumpkin themed beverages!
