Things to do In Kansas City This Fall

The long, lazy days of summer have come to an end. The air is crisp and soon the leaves will be changing colors. Since school starts so much earlier than it did when I was a kid, families have probably already adjusted to their “school year” routine. Get ready, the cooler weather will be moving in and the days will be getting shorter. This is my favorite season of the year!
There are so many fun activities to enjoy this season. Here are just a few: apple picking, going to a pumpkin patch, going on a hay ride, getting lost in a corn maze, checking out all of the fall festivals, making a scarecrow, watching football and tailgating, cooking chili, carving a pumpkin, jumping in leaf piles, playing at the park, cuddling by the fire, making s’mores, having a bon fire, roasting pumpkin seeds, baking pies, trick or treating on Halloween, camping. enjoying the fall foliage, celebrating Thanksgiving and so much more!

I provided location and contact information for the events listed. I highly recommend checking the website or calling before heading to your destination, to see if there is an admission fee and/or parking fee. We have run into this many times, when we don’t have cash on us., which doesn’t make for happy kiddo’s when we don’t get to go.
These are just a few of the fun things around Kansas City this fall. Some of the city parks have been family favorites of ours for years. Antioch Park, in Merriam, is a great place to have a picnic and see all of the colorful leaves.
Enjoy this beautiful season and make lots of memories! We would love to see your fall pictures!
