Gardens of Babylon in autumn – pumpkins, decorations, and a true autumn fairy tale
Gardens of Babylon in autumn left us with a very different impression than in summer. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by countless pumpkins, autumn harvest displays, and all sorts of decorations. The Harvest Festival is underway and runs until November 9. However, you’ll also find lights, music, autumn flavors, tastings, workshops, and different weekend activities.
We visited with the family – plenty of activities for kids
We visited Gardens of Babylon as a family and spent a wonderful autumn afternoon here. For our kids, the main highlight was meeting the animals – they could watch and feed them. There are plenty of discoveries for children. Even without the seasonal decorations, Babilono Gardens is a mini journey around the world – the 4-hectare park features miniature models of famous buildings from different continents, as well as a play area for kids.
While the kids enjoyed the animals, we could relax, stroll through the autumn gardens, and enjoy a cup of tea.
If you love autumn family photoshoots, you’ll find plenty of beautiful photo spots. Pumpkin displays, colorful plants, decorations, miniatures of famous landmarks, and fall colors create countless photo opportunities.
We liked that the decorations are spread throughout the park. You’ll find autumn accents as you explore, so your photos will all be different.
Now, as Halloween 2026 approaches, you’ll see even more themed decorations. However, the park is not a haunted or Halloween park – most decorations are playful, autumn-themed, and perfect for families with small children.
The Harvest Festival
The main highlight this season is the Harvest Festival. The park offers tastings, workshops, and other activities.
So, even if you’ve been to Babilonas Gardens before, it’s worth coming back in autumn. The park looks completely different now, and each weekend brings new events and activities.
Be sure to check the Babilonas Gardens social media for the latest program before your trip.
Another highlight is the evening atmosphere. During the Harvest Festival, Babilonas Gardens invites you to explore not just by day, but also in the evening – when the lights come on, the park transforms.
If you can, plan your visit for later in the day. Start while it’s still light, explore the park, miniatures, and autumn displays, and then stay to see the gardens lit up at night.
