5 Things To Do This October

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Kennesaw chapter.

When the fall weather finally comes, get out of the house and enjoy it! Here are five activities you can do to make this the best fall ever!

Go Apple Picking

Apple picking is a fun fall activity for friends, families, and couples. The apples cost more when you pick them at an orchard, but you’re paying for the experience. The typical price range for apple picking at orchards is $5 to $20 per person.

Find Your Way Out Of A Corn Maze

Corn mazes are a classic fall activity. You and your group should expect to spend between one and a half to two hours finding your way out of the maze. Many corn mazes also have petting zoos and hayrides, but they might cost extra depending on where you go.

Buy A Pumpkin At A Pumpkin Patch

Another classic fall activity is finding the perfect pumpkin at a pumpkin patch. You could buy a pumpkin at the grocery store, but that is no way to make memories! Pumpkin patches are a great place to create lasting memories with your family, friends, or significant other. Some pumpkin patches even have concession stands with tasty treats such as candy apples and pies. 

Carve Pumpkins

After you’ve found your perfect pumpkin, why don’t you carve it? Carving kits can be found at many grocery stores and design inspiration can be found on Pinterest and Youtube. You can even clean off the pumpkin seeds you scoop out and roast them in the oven!  

Spend A Day At A Fall Festival

Almost every weekend in October there’s a fall festival somewhere. Churches, schools, parks, and cities host festivals every fall with something for everyone. Small businesses and individual vendors have booths at many fall festivals and some even have live music. Almost every festival has food and something fun for kids!

There are many more things to do this fall, but these classics never fail. Be sure to check what’s going on near you and go with someone you always have a good time with!
