Fall Fun for Kids

Check out some of our favorite fall activities.

Apple Picking

Apple orchards have a ton of other activities besides picking apples. You can choose from petting zoos, corn mazes, and hay rides. Don't forget about picking up some fresh apple cider donuts! Heading to one of the many orchards around Chicagoland is one of our favorite fall activities. CLICK HERE for a list of apple orchards within an easy drive from Chicagoland

Haunted House

CLICK HERE to check out the Hair Razor Haunted Scenes. They are open every weekend in October. This haunted house is perfect for the family and has "No Scare Days" where the lights are on and no one is jumping out scaring you or the kids.

Fall Fest

Fall and Harvest fests are happening all over the city and suburbs. Celebrate fall with the animals at Lincoln Park Zoo or head to Donley's Wild West Town in Union, IL to pan for gold and paint a pumpkin. See the full list HERE.

Rainy Day Fall Fun

Not every day will have that perfect fall weather, so we've included a list of some fun indoor family activities. Our favorites include the ghost rockets, apple and pumpkin volcanos, and making some pumpkin pie ice cream! You can see our favorites and find even more ideas HERE
