Temps are beginning to change, the new school year is quickly approaching, and Halloween costume requests are soon to follow…fall is upon us, Fans of Play!
Fall is a great time to explore places you didn’t have a chance to get to during summer, enjoy seasonal activities, and spend quality time together as a family!
Take a peek at our suggestions below on some fall-themed family fun everyone in the family will love:
1. Corn Mazes!
A fall favorite for many – getting lost with family and friends inside a corn maze! Corn mazes are great for all ages and are typically on a farm that offers lots of other fall fun in addition to the corn maze!
