Gorgeous colors, incredible smells, and crisp breezes all make fall a wonderful time of the year. We’ve put together a list of fall activities every family can enjoy together. Make some unforgettable memories this autumn!

Visit a Corn Maze
Find your way through a local corn maze. If you have mostly little kids, visit during the daytime - if your kids are older and braver, try a haunted maze at night!
Go on a Nature Walk
Enjoy the beautiful colors nature has to offer this time of year. Be sure to bring along your camera and snap some great photos.
Jump in the Leaves
Rake the leaves in your backyard, then play around in them! It’s sure to be a fond memory for your little ones.
Visit a Pumpkin Patch
No fall season is complete without visiting a pumpkin patch. Let each of your kids pick out their own, then take them home to decorate!
Carve Pumpkins
Let each of your little ones carve their own pumpkin. Encourage them to be creative! (For small children, painting pumpkins is a great alternative.)
