1. Visit an apple orchard
Take a trip to the nearest apple orchard. Pick the freshest apples off the tree by hand and take them home. You can use them to make apple pie, apple cider, caramel apples, or whatever apple recipe your heart desires.
2. Host a potluck
Invite your family and friends over for a potluck. There are plenty of fall flavors to choose from—pumpkin, apple, pecans, maple, and more. Tell your invitees to bring their own dish. Everyone can enjoy a feast, and the best part is that you don’t have to do all the cooking.
3. Carve a pumpkin
Pumpkin carving is a fun, fall activity your family can enjoy. Venture to a local pumpkin patch and bring your favorites home. At home, you can grab your crafting knife and carve the perfect face for your pumpkin.
4. Take a camping trip
Explore the outdoors. Bring your canteen, backpack, tent, snacks and feel one with nature while the weather allows it. There are plenty of scenic spots to try camping in the United States. Sierra Vista, Yosemite, Joshua Tree, and Zion National Park offer breathtaking views and memorable experiences you can hold onto for a lifetime. You can also stay local and look for campgrounds in your state or region.
5. Visit local farmer’s markets
Local farmer’s markets are one of the most accessible ways to get locally grown, fresh produce. Fall produce like apples, beets, pumpkins, radishes, and zucchini are in season, so you can enjoy your fall meals. When visiting a farmer’s market, get there early for the best selections, bring large bags, and ask vendors about their produce. Vendors can tell you how fresh their produce is, how it was grown, and different ways to prepare your purchased produce.
6. Celebrate Halloween
Halloween is the spookiest holiday of the year. Embrace the holiday fun by dressing up in your costume and take your children, cousins, nieces, or nephews trick-or-treating around the neighborhood. If you don’t have children, there are plenty of other Halloween activities you can do. Decorate your home with pumpkins, buy candy, have a horror movie marathon, or host a Halloween party with your friends.
7. Explore a haunted house
Are you feeling adventurous this fall? Test your fear factor by going to a haunted house. Brace yourself for jump scares, creepy animatronics, and people dressed in lifelike costumes.
8. Go on a hayride
Hop on the back of a wagon for a hayride and take in all the beauty fall has to offer. Hayrides usually take place on farms. You can gaze at the blue skies, fall leaves, cornfields, and the vast farmland stretching out to the horizon. A hayride is a fun autumn activity for all ages, families, and friends.
9. Explore a corn maze
If you’re up for a puzzle, find an expansive corn maze to explore, get lost in, and hopefully solve. Spend a fall afternoon in a sprawling maze to bond with your loved ones.
