🍂🍁🍂 In the Mitten State, we are spoiled for choice when it comes to fabulous fall activities!

@Cassondra.Wanders is looking forward to having lots of pumpkin fun!

📍Shepherd Jack-o-lantern display! Each year, the home behind the post office boasts thousands of carved pumpkins with a fun Wizard of Oz theme!

📍Andy T’s Farm in St. Johns @andytsfarmmarket. The colorful pumpkin variety keeps us coming back year after year. The farm also has a playground and goats to feed!

📍Papa’s Pumpkin Patch in Mt. Pleasant @papas_pumpkinpatch is a local favorite with the littles. With tractor pulled hay rides, farm animals, games, and so much more to explore!

@frommichiganwithloveblog is ready to take in all the beautiful fall colors! Some of her favorite places to do that are…

🍂@crystalmountainmi to take a scenic chairlift ride up above the trees then the alpine slide through the trees on the way back down. It’s one of the most unique ways to enjoy fall colors! This fall the slide is open every Saturday through October 23 so make sure to reserve your tickets online ASAP! {$20 per person for an hour.}

🍁 Once you finish zipping down on the slide, take the scenic route over to Lake Michigan to admire the turquoise blue water against the red, orange & yellow leafs at Arcadia’s Inspiration Point. {More details on my favorite hidden gem of a fall color tour at the link in my bio! 😉}

🍂 Nothing screams fall more than a hayride! And Olin Farm in Lowell offers an amazing hayride through their woods. The ride is leisurely and goes past their pumpkin patch & corn maze, stopping to allow people to get out for these attractions. Another cool perk are their Clydesdale horses, that used to work for Budweiser. I can’t recommend this farm enough!

@exploremichiganmore has been encouraged to try new places and small businesses for some of my favorite fall activities.

We love a good fall hike to take in the changing seasons. We stumbled upon Scott Woods a @lansingparksandrec and I cannot wait to come back in all of its fall glory 🍂 There is a small play structure at the parking lot (that is free but space is limited), a beautiful paved path, foot bridges, and gorgeous trees frame your walk. Add this to your list to take in some stunning fall colors.

What’s fall without cider? Once I find something I love I usually stick with it so I was thrilled I branched out and gave @phillipsorchards in St. John’s, MI a try. We spent a chilly morning here sharing one of the best cider donuts I have ever had and a cup of their amazing hot cider. In the store you’ll also find an abundance of Michigan made goods and gifts. Call or check their social media for updates!

While I love the experience of heading out in to a field for a u-pick pumpkin as much as the rest of them I absolutely have to add @reesefarms_mi in Lansing, MI for pumpkins on my list. Two huge wagons full of gorgeous pumpkins are available in different sizes and at different price points available daily from 9AM-Dusk. The kids had just as much fun scouring over the bounty to find their picks as they do in the field. (Also make sure to save this spot for next summer, their reviews on their sweet corn are incredible. Definitely coming back for a dozen next season!)

Your favorite is your favorite for a reason but why not give something new a try as well this fall. You might just love it.
