If you’re spending the season in Medicine Hat, here are ways you can fully enjoy fall!
Fall has arrived in Medicine Hat. The trees are no longer green, just orange, yellow, and red. And roads, sidewalks, and front lawns are filled with comforting colours once again. If you’re spending the season in Medicine Hat, here are ways you can fully enjoy fall!
Pumpkin Patches
There are mountains of pumpkins at this local market on South Railway Street! All locally sourced and all perfect for carving, with seeds to bake and filling to turn into pumpkin puree. Go inside the market, and you’ll find even more fresh local produce to take home and add to your soups!
The Brooks Corn Maze is the closest attraction of its kind to Medicine Hat, located just an hour away. You can pick your very own pumpkin in the pumpkin patch, fish in the magnetic pond, mini golf, hop on a train ride, and pet the farm animals!
Directions: South of the City of Brooks. Take 7th Street East South, cross the CPR train track, turn left (East) on Industrial Road, in a 300 meters drive through the gate.
Heading West on Highway 3, Molnar’s Pumpkin Festival is just past Taber and a perfect spot for some pumpkin picking festivities! Molnar’s also has a mini corn maze, pony rides, bouncy house, and wagon rides.
Directions: Barnwell Range Road 173, Barnwell, AL T0K 0B0.
At the very front, you'll be greeted by the cutest little pumpkin patch. Big or small, all pumpkin sales go to the Make a Wish foundation!
Snug inside this market full of Alberta-made home decor and local produce, a magical, rustic pumpkin patch lives near the back beside Sweet Stems Flower Shop. Located along Highway 3, make sure to stop at their cafe and grab a hot cup of coffee when searching for your perfect pumpkins!
