Fall is unarguably, the best season. Pumpkin (and pumpkin spice), the smell of change and the best holidays! Fall activities are a family favorite and honestly, it’s the best time to get out. The weather is perfect, there’s so much to do and fall desserts are delicious! While we tend to switch up where we pick pumpkins here in NYC, there are a few activities that we try to keep consistent. Here are a few ideas for fall activities the whole family is sure to love.
Fall Activities for the Whole Family
