By car. Aranjuez is about 45 minutes south of Madrid, and the farm is on Calle Ojalvo, on the edge of town. The organizer has short route videos from Madrid and from Aranjuez town center, linked below.

Light rain doesn't stop it. In heavy rain they can cancel up to 24 hours before, and you get a new date for this or a similar activity instead of a refund.

Do we need to bring anything?

No. The decorating supplies and the edible craft are included, and each child takes a pumpkin home. Wear shoes you're happy to walk through a field in.

How do I claim the free place for a child under 90cm?

Kids 90cm tall or shorter go free, but you have to add them in the order notes box when you book on the VisitaMadriz page.

What you need to know

Tickets can't be changed or refunded, so pick your date carefully; only heavy rain moves you to a new one
The edible craft uses sugar and gluten, so plan ahead if your child has an allergy or intolerance
A booked 90-minute session, not a drop-in patch, so arrive in time for the clue game at the start

About

A Halloween afternoon at the Museo de la Fresa, a working farm in the old market gardens of Aranjuez. Costumed characters have taken over the field: kids solve a clue game to get in, visit the farm's interpretation center, pick a pumpkin and decorate it, then make edible Halloween figures from donuts and cookies. Every child goes home with a pumpkin.

€25 per person, under 90cm free
