Pick a Peck of Pumpkins!

The Château Ramezay invites young and old to discover the world of squash with Pick a Peck of Pumpkins!, a one-month outdoor exhibition presented free of charge in the Governor’s Garden, from October 3rd to November 8th, 2026.

Two Activities

The 4 to 7-year-olds will meet Reddy, a friendly little pumpkin, and his numerous cousins. The free activity booklet will send them on a mission to find a mystery word by picking up hints throughout their visit. Cucumbers, zucchinis and patty-pan squash will come together to help the young botanists fulfill their quest. A surprise will await those who succeed!

Through a series of silly questions, the 8 to 12-year-olds will test their knowledge on the cucurbit family! They are sure to be surprised by this unusual theme! It should take your tweens 20-30 minutes to find the “key” that will grant them a surprise from the Château’s welcome desk!
