The Pumpkin Village, the pumpkin harvest from the field, the saltarello and the pumpkin-shaped houses are suitable for children of all ages, as are the pumpkin decoration workshops (the little ones can get help from adults or older brothers or sisters). The tasting of pumpkin risotto with amaretto (with the option of grappa on the side) is already included in the ticket for adults. The Show is fun and enjoyable for everyone, adults and children.

The show "Goosebumps" with characters from the Addams Family and Hotel Transylvania, repeated during the day, is included in the ticket, for everyone (adults and children). It is a fun show, acted and sung live, lasting about 30 minutes, with the most beloved actors of the events of Santa's Grotto
