Enjoy family fun

This fall, enjoy a colourful and flavourful family outing at the Centre d’interprétation de la courge (Squash Interpretation Centre). Discover dozens of squash and pumpkin varieties in surprising shapes and vibrant colours—sure to spark curiosity in both kids and adults. Take part in fun activities, guided tours, and tasty samplings that will delight the whole family. Children will love running through the fields and joining creative workshops, while parents can enjoy homemade products and a warm atmosphere. Between discoveries, games, and autumn flavours, the Squash Interpretation Centre is the perfect place to create lasting family memories.

This fall, go pumpkin picking in the fields of Vaudreuil-Soulanges! At Citrouilleville, explore a one-of-a-kind pumpkin village and enjoy a host of family-friendly activities. At Quinn Farm, hop on a tractor ride to the fields, then stop by the gourmet shop filled with homemade and locally crafted products. Verger Labonté offers organic apple and pumpkin picking and themed corn mazes. Finally, experience Festiv’Halloween at La Belle de Coteau-du-Lac, with fun daytime activities for families and spine-chilling haunted evenings after dark.

Escape the everyday routine for a weekend that will recharge the entire family. Turn apple picking into a treasure hunt, explore forest trails ablaze with autumn colours, and discover authentic farm life. Pet gentle animals, watch local artisans at work, and see history come alive in museums. In Brome-Missisquoi, each day weaves a tapestry of precious family memories.

A true fall tradition, picking your own fruits and veggies is the perfect way to celebrate seasonal flavours. In fact, the Montérégie region could easily be considered an apple-picking paradise, with its many orchards inviting you to fill your bag with apples. Verger Labonté, on Île Perrot, and Vergers et Cidrerie Denis Charbonneau, in Mont-Saint-Grégoire, offer not only apple picking, but also gourmet boutiques where you can stock up on all kinds of apple products. And beyond just apples, agritourism farms such as La fille du Roy and the Quinn Farm invite you to pick all sorts of other delights, including sweet corn, pumpkins and squash.
