10 Fresh Fall Activities To Do With The Whole Family
1. Plant fall-loving vegetables or spring bulbs in your garden. Vegetables like kale, carrots, broccoli, and radishes love this time of year!
2. Start making weekly trips to the farmers market. Summer was slow but things are picking back up again! Mini farmers markets are popping back up all over St. Pete (Saturday morning market is being held every Saturday morning from 9am-1pm in Williams Park). There is no better way to support local and support health than this fun activity!
3. Do a fall scavenger hunt. Plan out a day full of apple cider and pumpkin carving with stops along the way during this fun trip, finding the coolest places to experience fall in St. Pete!
4. Visit a U-Pick farm or a Petting Zoo. It’s a beautiful season to be outdoors this fall! Make sure you get plenty of outside time and create some fun memories with these cool outdoor ideas!
5. Camp out in your backyard. Put together a bonfire, roast some marshmallows, and spend this fun activity under the fall stars! (be sure to bring your flashlights and tell scary stories!)
