Fun fall activities?

[Anonymous]

We have gone apple picking at Great Country Farms. I plan to take kids to Butlers Orchard for pumpkins.

What else can we do?

I have 2 elementary boys who are free most Mondays and weekends.

I saved this thread - it's for summer, but some things can be altered for Fall

I’m not an expert on area farms/pumpkin patches, but here is my wish list for other outdoor/fall:

The Big Bugs exhibit at the Museum of the Shenandoah looks awesome. (There is even a Groupon! But it expires in like an hour).

Hiking at Sky Meadows State Park, apparently there is a children’s hike, and there are some cute eateries there too.

Devil's Den at the National Military Park in Gettysburg, PA Reportedly has cool rock scrambling for the little ones and pretty spectacular views and worth the drive.

Locust grove nature center for hiking and playing and learning at the nature center (check to verify it is open)

Renting a campfire space at Belvedere farm

A ropes course and/or zip lining.

-Mini golf at one of the regional parks - we went to Upton Hill but my kid loved it so much we will be trying others.
-horseback riding
-Huntley Meadows wetland boardwalk
