A Fall Foliage Train Ride Needs to Be on the Top of Your Bucket List This Autumn

Is there any season better than fall? The air is crisp, the leaves are changing and the smell of pumpkin spice is everywhere — not to mention there all the pies, apple treats and other fall desserts you could ever want! And sure, we'll miss the pool parties and backyard barbecues of the summer, but this season also brings plenty of fun fall activities, from festive outdoor adventures (hello, leaf-peeping!) to cozy indoor activities for kids, adults, couples and the entire family. Luckily, if you're looking for the ultimate fall bucket list to complete this season, we've rounded up the best autumn must-dos right here.

Start with activities that make the most of crisp autumn days: You can't miss the pumpkin patch or your local fall festival, where you can take in all the beautiful foliage, sip on apple cider, and get lost in a corn maze. (And don't forget to pick out the perfect pumpkin to carve later!) Once the weather starts to get more chilly, it's time to cozy up inside with your favorite fall candle, a super-soft blanket and the perfect fall movie on Netflix. Looking for more creative ways to spend the perfect autumn afternoon? Host a pie bake-off with friends, DIY some fall crafts or go on a leaf hunt with the kids. Whatever activity you pick, don't forget to don your coziest sweater and get ready to have an absolute ball this fall.
