When the weather gets colder and the leaves begin to fall, it seems like there’s not much to do outside of the house. On the contrary, fall is actually a great time to explore and adventure. Here are 10 places to visit this fall that you won’t regret!
Perhaps one of the more classic fall activities is visiting a corn maze. Corn mazes are family-friendly, exciting, and make for a challenging puzzle that will leave you feeling satisfied to solve with some persistence and perseverance.
Apples highlight the array of rich fall flavors and account for hundreds of recipes during the autumn. Instead of your typical grocery store run, take an afternoon to go apple picking at an orchard. The apples are delicious, you can eat them on sight, and it makes for a fun family outing or cute date/photoshoot. In addition to apples, many orchards also offer donuts, hayrides, and other various services.
No matter where you live, as long as there’s some sort of cold winter weather coming, there should be plenty of spots to view the beautiful fall foliage. Take a drive into the wilderness or a walk in the woods for a once a year experience of seeing orange, red, and yellow leaves all around. It’s just something you have to do in order to feel the full autumn experience.
If you have always wanted to do something spooky during the Halloween season, be sure to visit Salem at some point near Halloween.

Salem draws thousands of people every fall and even if you aren’t totally for the haunted experience, there’s plenty else to do during Halloween.
Most amusement parks and various other places offer the experience of a haunted house during the fall season. If you’re looking for something to do this fall, visit a haunted house near you. They’re really not that scary if you just remember that none of it is real. If you’re even more daring and looking for a truly scary experience, visit a real haunted house in the middle of nowhere, but make sure to bring a few friends for support.
