Our favorite fall family activities

Fall activities extend far beyond one night of trick or treating. From pumpkin patches and zoo events to Halloween parades and small town celebrations, fall is filled with opportunities to spend time with your favorite people.

Take a road trip with the Savvy Sassy Moms

The Savvy Sassy Moms team is scattered across the United States, so we got together to see how our favorite fall activities are similar — or different. Try some of these family activities for loads of fall fun.

We love pumpkin patches here in Missouri! (Sara, Running From the Law)

Apple picking is a big hit in New York. (Kristin, My Strange Family)

We go to our family farm in Indiana to have a fall party. We do fall type festivities: bonfire, s’mores, pumpkin carving and playing in the leaves! (Amy, O’Leary Love)

Apple Picking! We love Orchard Hill Farm nearby and Apple Acres Farm for an
adventure. (Rebecca, Mainely Mama — see her complete list of fabulous fall activities in Maine)

In Wisconsin, we love to play in the leaves. (Julia, My Life in Transition)

Apple picking in California! (Katie, Katie Did What)

We have lots of fall traditions in Michigan, from visiting our alma mater to making the rounds at cider mills and pumpkin patches. Our family agreed our two favorites are hanging out at the zoo — the pumpkin displays are amazing — and getting donuts at one of our several favorite cider mills. (Angela, Playing with Words)

For something a little different, we like Owl-O-Ween Hot Air Balloon Festival in the Atlanta area. (Shanna, Beloved Nest)

What are your favorite activities in the fall? (And don’t you want to take a road trip to do all these fun things?)
