Fall is here, and so are all of the fun and festive spooky events! There are so many amazing events going on the month of October all over the city, but I want to specifically share my favorites that are family friendly. From pumpkin patches to trick or treating, below are my top 10 favorites to add to your fall family bucket list that we typically try not to miss each year they take place!
Fall Family Bucket List
1.) Priddy Farms – Now through November 5 open daily – This is our favorite pumpkin patch in the Memphis area, and we visit each year! They are open every single day, and they have a corn maze, haunted woods, a train ride, a tram hay ride, inflatables, farm animals you can feed and so much more! You will definitely want to check them out this October.
2.) Cedar Hill Farm Pumpkin Patch & Corn Maze – Now through November 4 on select days – We always go here for Easter, and it is so much fun for Halloween too. They have a great playground with amazing slides and a zipline too. There is always so much to do here!
3.) Memphis Botanic Garden – We love visiting here seasonally because they always have so many fun things going on! Right now they have fall tram tours going on, and with the weather feeling so good right now, it’s the perfect time to visit!
4.) Memphis Grizzlies – We are taking the kids next week and can’t wait! It will be there first time at a Grizzlies game! It’s indoors so they kids will be warm and cozy, but it’s such a fun way to spend the night watching the Grizz play while eating bbq nachos!
5.) The Orpheum Memphis – Peter Pan will be there starting November 26, On December 7, you can take the kids to see a Charlie Brown Christmas. Starting December 13, you can watch the Nutcracker. Leighton and I went last year, and it was such a special day! There isn’t anything more magical than taking your kids to the Orpheum this fall. It’s such a fun and unique way to spend the day with the entire family! The Orpehum always have fun shows and they sometimes show movies there too.
6.) Museum of Science & History – They always have fun exhibits that our kids love, and on November 9, they are showing James and Giant Peach on the Giant Screen Theater.
7.) Jones Orchard Corn Maze – They are open now through October 31 on select nights. These have been favorites of mine for years! We took Leighton and Grayson this year, and they absolutely loved it!
8.) Children’s Museum of Memphis – When the temperatures drop, we especially love to visit the Children’s Museum of Memphis. You can stay warm indoors, and the kids will have a blast running around and playing and learning! It’s fun for the entire family!
9.) Go Ape at Shelby Farms – Halloween and Fall Festivities now through October 31 on select nights. How fun would this be?! Haunted trails, haunted zip lining, pumpkin painting, scavenger hunts and more! Check out their calendar and get your tickets now! While you’re there, make sure to stop by their amazing playground too.
10.) Zoo Boo – Open October 13-31 on select nights. We go to Zoo Boo each year! Let the kids dress up and trick or treat and run around at the zoo while seeing all the lights and spooky decorations. We took the girls a few weeks ago, and it was the perfect weather!
