Bächlihof - Pumpkin Exhibition

During the last week of October we had a trip with the children from work to Bächlihof, Jona to look at the pumpkin exhibition. This place is the sister farm of Jucker farm in Seegräben which also had an exhibition. Sadly it is over now but is usually is on for just over two months, so plenty of time to visit next year. Since it was coming up for Halloween we decided to visit and buy a big pumpkin. The exhibition was based on Noah`s Arch, so we saw llamas, elephants, girafffes and many more animals.








As usual there was a selecction of pumpkins to buy, some of the children choose the pumpkin we bought.


The place is open for brunch. although smaller and and the location is not is good as Jucker farm there is still lots for the kids to do. A smaller haystack to play on, swings, rabbits and guinea pigs to look at and also probably the best many different types of cars, tricycles, go carts and much more to use.

We were lucky it was not very busy so all the kids could use the toys easily, there is also a shop where you can get a coffee and a yummy sweet cake.

On the weekend of 19&20th November at Jucker (look under the month of November for details) there a Christmas market which looks like will be good fun to visit. I will definitely go with Alessio, hope to see you all there!
