Fall Bucket List: 25+ Fun Fall Family Activities

Do you find yourself at the end of a season wishing you had made time for more activities with your family? For me, the fall season is no exception. It can be so busy with kids going back to school and new projects, yet at the same time there are so many great things to do with the family. Today I’m sharing some ideas for fall bucket list activities to give you and your family some inspiration of what you can do before Christmas rolls around! 

The next few months are going to fly by, and without a plan even the most organized family can forget to schedule a few of these quintessentially fall activities.  In between back to school shopping and holiday prep, there is a lot of fun to be had. So be sure to write out a few ideas for your family to enjoy this fall season. 

Once I get over saying goodbye to summer I just love the fall, from apple cider to the pumpkin patch there are so many feel-good activities to enjoy this time of year.  With the hustle and bustle of back to school activities in September and the startup of extracurricular programs, it can be so easy to forget to take a few minutes to sit with your family and figure out your own bucket list of your favorite activities to enjoy. One of my favourites is going for a hike as a family and seeing the beautiful leaves as they change colours and fall to the ground – it’s definitely a priority for me to make room in our schedule to enjoy that time together. 

To help get you and your family get inspired for the season ahead, here is a list I made of fun fall activities that are great for the whole family:
