Kids can join free cooking or gardening workshops and taste fruit, but aisles get crowded and there is no dedicated play zone.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for with kids: A 2-3 hour visit lets your family browse stalls, join a kids workshop, and enjoy snacks without rushing.
Children's Cooking Workshop:
Kids cook simple recipes in 30-minute sessions on select Saturdays.
Tip: Arrive 15 minutes early at 1 PM or 2 PM to secure free tickets.
Family Art & Gardening Activities:
Join free watercolor painting and mini gardening classes in the weekend event zone.
Tip: Check the weekend schedule online and register early in person.
Browse Fresh Produce:
Wander stalls of seasonal fruits, vegetables, cheeses, and spices.
Tip: Go at opening hour for the best selection and free samples.
Enjoy Local Snacks:
Grab fruit skewers, mini crêpes, gelato, or pastries from market stalls.
Tip: Share snacks among kids to try more flavors on a modest budget.
June–July: strawberries, cherries, early berries. August: peaches, tomatoes. September–October: apples, pumpkins, fresh cider. Winter: only covered arcades open with fewer vendors.

Best to go in summer for the full market experience or fall, when the autumn vegetables are available. Pumpkin season is my favourite!

Great market for both fruits and veggies plus a large fresh plant section. The nicest produce ,beautifully presented. Most are locally sourced. The vendors are friendly and helpful, and most accept credit card payments. Super nice way to send a morning or afternoon. There are also cheese and meat purveyors.
