Waterford, has run family Halloween programming including a Halloween Trail with pumpkin picking, where children follow an activity sheet through the gardens and collect a pumpkin at the end. The exact format of the Halloween family event has changed between years (a dragon-themed trail replaced the pumpkin trail in 2025), so current-year details should be confirmed.
