Description
Visit for our annual Squash Hunt
October 1–31, 2024
Discover the gardens this fall during our annual Squash Hunt. Explore the grounds with your map in search of these home-grown, decorative delicacies! Children can get a sticky tape bracelet from the volunteer greeter or Guest Services staff and set off on a fall gathering adventure through the gardens. Stop at multiple squash displays, discover a treat from nature, and use it to decorate your bracelet.
Pause at the Residence to snap a photo of yourselves with our largest pumpkin and guess its weight to be entered in a drawing for a choice between six gift admission passes or a complimentary Friends/Family Membership to Bloedel Reserve.
Dress up for Halloween on October 26 and trick-or-treat yourself to a hot cup of cider before you set off on your adventure through the gardens!
Timed tickets are required and the event is included with cost of admission to the Reserve. Fall hours are 10 AM-5 PM and the last entry is 90 minutes before closing.
