 | For families who aren't locked into the school schedule, fall can be a great time to take a trip: often weather is lovely in early fall, yet popular destinations are blissfully uncrowded. And even families with kids in school can still plan a weekend getaway. | |
Leaf-Peeping
Fall foliage is a prime attraction in many areas, and kids can have a wonderful time on a weekend outing in the Great Outdoors. Find the peak weeks for color intensity, and great places for autumn leaves in New England, Ohio, the Rockies, and more.
| Corn Mazes & Pumpkin Patches
Corn mazes are everywhere these days, and are definitely fun places for family outings. Teens may prefer to do the maze in the dark with flashlights, and most corn mazes offer night-time hours at least on the weekends. Often, corn mazes will have extra fun on-site, such as a pumpkin patch.
| Columbus Day Weekend Getaway Ideas
The second Monday in October is a federal holiday in the U.S., and a good opportunity to head off for a long weekend and enjoy fall fun. Meanwhile, in Canada that same long weekend is the Thanksgiving holiday.
| Halloween and More Fall Events
Halloween is a giant fall event, with scary and not-so-scary fun staged just about everywhere throughout October: at zoos and corn mazes and science museums, at haunted houses and aquariums and waterpark resorts... On Halloween trains and Pumpkin Path Express trains that feature with Peanuts cartoon characters... And at theme parks from LEGOLAND to Knotts Scary -- and we really mean scary -- Farm.
