Boston’s Best Fall Activities with Kids

The leaves have changed color, there’s a chilly bite in the air in Greater Boston, and Fall smells are everywhere. The kids have also been in school for awhile, which means they’re probably getting a bit restless.

Fortunately, you can find plenty of places to take them this fall – whether it’s in Brookline, Brighton or anywhere in the Greater Boston area. This time of year offers lots of family friendly options.

Hit a Pumpkin Patch

But if you want your jack ‘o lantern to be super-special you might want to hit one of Boston’s myriad pumpkin patches instead. Most of them let you pick your own pumpkin while offering other fun activities like bounce houses, hay rides, and corn mazes. You’ll spend a lazy fall day building traditions and making memories.

Most of your options will require you to take a bit of a day trip, but it will be worth it.

 

Go Apple Picking

Meanwhile, Boston Hill Farms will let you eat apples right off the tree, even as you fill your bucket. And every farm has a little spot where you can buy artisanal goods made from their produce, including preserves, cider, and more.

Visiting any of these farms is a great way to put your kids back in touch with where their food comes from!
