Omaha's October Adventure Date
Enjoy a beautiful fall day in Omaha with a blend of outdoor and indoor activities. Visit a locally owned pumpkin patch, carve your own pumpkin at home, have a picnic lunch in the lauritzen gardens and wrap up the day with a cooking class for two.
- Kick off a refreshing October morning by heading to a local Omaha pumpkin patch together. Surround yourself with the beauty of fall simply enjoying the outdoor ambiance, navigating the corn maze, and picking out a perfectly shaped pumpkin for the two of you to carve.
- After a nostalgic visit to the pumpkin patch, drive over to the Lauritzen Gardens for an outdoor picnic lunch. Wander the stunning botanical gardens, take some couple's selfies and stop by the visitor's center for an optional guided tour.
- In the evening, cozy up indoors and carve the pumpkin you picked earlier, seeing who can design the most creative face. Once your pumpkin is proudly displayed, it's time to prepare for a fun cooking class for two!
Preparation steps:
- Get yourself in the October mood by wearing comfy and warm clothes. Pack a picnic lunch containing sandwiches, fruits, chips, and some cookies. Also, to carve the pumpkin at home, prepare carving tools and LED tea lights.
- Before heading out to Lauritzen Gardens, ensure to check their visitor's rules and guidelines for outdoor picnic lunches, usually you can find this information on their website.
- For the cooking class for two in Omaha, reserve your spot ahead of time. Cooking classes can fill up quickly, especially during popular times like weekends. Be open to learning and trying new recipes!

Some tips:
- Pick a pumpkin patch that has additional attractions like hayrides or corn mazes. These will add to the overall experience and make the day even more special. Some pumpkin patches might also have pre-picked pumpkins available for those who prefer not to do the picking themselves.
- In Lauritzen Gardens, they have various gardens to explore such as Rose Garden, Model Railroad Garden, etc. – so plan your time accordingly. Don’t forget to stop by at Kenefick Park which is located at the lauritzen gardens property.
- Finally, be creative and have fun with your pumpkin carving and cooking. These activities rely on companionship and teamwork, which aren't just fun but are also perfect moments to bond and explore your creative sides together.
