Fall is my family’s favorite time of the year. The weather is finally nice after the hot, muggy summer. Everything is pretty and colorful outside. There are so many activities to enjoy. Whether you like being outdoors or indoors or both, I’m sure there is something on this list that you will enjoy.
Below are ten of my family’s favorite things to do in the Fall. We do these activities each year. These activities can be done with small children, adults and big kids.
- Visit a Pumpkin Patch This is probably my family’s favorite activity in the fall. We love going to a pumpkin patch that has a lot of activities for people of all ages.
- Have a Pumpkin Carving Contest With small kids have them draw the design and you carve it. If your older kids are responsible you can have them help in the carving process. Either way this is a fun activity for everyone.
- Apple Picking Spending a day at an apple orchard is an exciting day. Afterwards make your favorite apple treat as a family.
- Take a Hike Fall is the best time to take a hike. All the beautiful colors make sightseeing wonderful.
- Campfire with S’mores Enjoy a night outside, under the stars. Take advantage of the cooler weather with a campfire.
- Harvest Festival Many towns have Fall Festivals to enjoy. Take a day with the family and go enjoy yourselves.
- Fall Crafts Run to your local Hobby Lobby or search Pinterest for easy DIY Fall crafts. Bonus if you can use these for decor around your house afterwards.
- Family Dinner Make a family feast that’s just for Fall. Pick your family’s favorite soup, make some cornbread and add in your family’s favorite dessert.
- Movie Night Take your family feast and eat it in the living room while you watch a movie.
- Decorate Your Yard Pick out fun decorations as a family and then decorate your yard. Let your kids have a say in where things are placed. Your yard doesn’t have to be Pinterest-worthy to make long lasting memories with your kid.
