Pumpkins, and apples, and leaves, oh my! Fall has fully arrived, and we’re loving all the seasonal fun happening around town. To make your family’s autumn the most amazing it can be, we’ve put together this fall fun checklist that’s packed with cozy activities, festive events, and memory-making moments for all ages.
Grab a Pumpkin from the Patch
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with picking up a pumpkin from the produce section at King Soopers. Buttttt if you’re wanting a little more of a seasonal experience, then the patch is where it’s at. We highly recommend Anderson Farms in Erie or Rock Creek Farms in Broomfield.
Eat All the Fall Treats
Fall has some of the best seasonal treats, in my humble opinion. I mean, c’mon…caramel apples, pumpkin spice lattes, and apple cider donuts?? Doesn’t get better than that. You could even stop by several coffee and dessert shops and make an autumn treat charcuterie board!
Spend a Cozy Evening at Home
Spend the night cooking an autumn-inspired meal together, then get under the fluffiest blankets you own and put on a movie. Hotel Transylvania is a great pick for spooky vibes that are kid-friendly.
See the Leaves Change
Colorado can’t be beat when it comes to leaf peeping. There are nearly endless options for beautiful drives and hikes to get your fill of the red, orange, and golden leaves. Within an hour’s drive of Denver, you can easily check out Golden Gate Canyon State Park, Georgetown, and Kenosha Pass.
Join Your Community for a Fall Fest
I am not exaggerating when I say fall fests are easy to find in Denver. Nearly every suburb, church, and school puts one on at some point in the season. And most of them are free! Fall fests are a great way to meet people in your community and enjoy fall-themed crafts and activities.
Get Your Spooky On
With Halloween right around the corner, you might be looking for something a little more heart-pounding. If that’s the case, then check out the 13th Floor Haunted House or Anderson Farms’ Terror in the Corn attraction for a fear-filled evening.
There’s plenty going on this season, but you don’t have to do it all! Pick a few things that sound fun, skip the rest, and just enjoy whatever version of fall works for you. The leaves will turn, the cider will still taste good, and the rest will be there next year.
