A tried and true method for creating memories during the fall season is a visit to the local pumpkin patch. Oftentimes, these venues offer more than just a plethora of vine ripened produce. Activities for the whole family, from hayrides to petting zoos, provide plenty of entertainment for an all-day excursion. At the end of your visit, have each member of your family choose their favorite gourd and let the fun continue at home with a jack-o-lantern carving party!

Yet another favorite fall activity is a visit to the corn maze. You can find a number of these venues sprinkled throughout the Hill Country. Sometimes, the layout of the maze even pays homage to a special cause, like this Texas Strong maze located in La Vernia, Texas. Some locales here in the heart of the Lone Star state include:
- Barton Hil Farms – Bastrop, Texas
- The Robinson Family Farm – Temple, Texas
- Sweet Berry Farm – Marble Falls, Texas
- Sweet Eats Fruit Farm – Georgetown, Texas
For an extra dose of fun, visit the maze with a large group, then split into teams to see who can make it to the end first. It is sure to be a great time!
3. Have a Spooky Movie Night

If a family night-in is more your style snuggle down for a movie night with a Halloween theme. Build a fort with an assortment of blankets and pillows, grab your favorite movie snacks, and prepare for a night of fright by watching your favorite spooky film.
For extra thrills, move your movie outdoors with the use of a projector and large sheet. The combination of chilly autumn air and almost complete darkness will be sure to leave you covered with goosebumps.
Whichever route you choose to take, a pumpkin picking adventure or a family night on the couch, there are a number of ways to celebrate the fall season. Just be sure to remember, this season comes only once a year so make the most of it while you can!
