During the Fall season
in NYC/Tri-State area, there are so many fun activities to do with the family.
Most of the times, the issue becomes which ones can we really fit into
our weekend schedule. Here are some of my top picks for the Fall.
Bronx Zoo (Boo At the Zoo)
#BooAtTheZoo #MyBudgetTravel
I've been a member of
the Bronx Zoo for 5 years. It has been one of the best investments I've
ever made! One of the most exciting thing to do at the Bronx Zoo is Boo
at the Zoo. This event is held every weekend in October. Some of
the highlights of Boo at the Zoo:
· 3-D Pumpkin Carving - Sand
Sculpture USA create pumpkin carvings of different animals each weekend
· Costume
Parade - The Alice Farley Dance Company will lead the costumed kids
in an Animal Mystery and Mischief Parade!
· Treat Stations -
Kids can safely trick or treat around the zoo with snacks from Welch's Fruit
Snacks, Pirates Booty, Hershey's milk chocolate treats, and various gummy
candies!
Sesame Place (The Count’s Halloween Spooktacular)
#SesamePlace
Sesame
Place is another destination in which I have an annual membership. During
the Fall season, Sesame Place has the Count's Halloween Spooktacular every
weekend in October. Sesame Place highlights:
· Shows - There are several
Halloween themed shows to attend throughout the day. The Not-Too-Spooky
Howl-O-Ween Radio Show, Who Said Boo! and Elmo the Musical—Halloween!
· Rides - Although Sesame Place
is known for it's water rides, during the Fall/Winter seasons, Sesame Place
adds several rides to the park. Sesame Place rides are family friendly
but do have height restrictions, however, there is something for everyone.
· Treats -
What's Halloween without treats? Well look no further, there are treats
to be found throughout the park at various treat stations.
Apple/Pumpkin Picking
#ApplePicking
One of my favorite activities in the Fall is apple picking! There are so many apple picking farms in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, I could dedicate an entire blog to them alone. Which farm one chooses is a personal choice that might be based on location/ distance, activites available and farm standards (organic, Eco-certified, etc).
· Fishkill Farms http://www.fishkillfarms.com -
A family-run u-pick orchard and organic vegetable farm in the Hudson Valley,
NY. They have delicious apple cider donuts and there always seems to be a
backyard style party going on.
· Demarest Farm http://demarestfarms.com/apple-picking -
This over a century old orchard is located in Hillsdale, NJ. Along with
their apple picking, they have home grown vegetables, bakery, deli, home made
donuts and you can also enjoy a hayride.
Little Club Heads
#LittleClubHeads
Are you looking for some high energy fun for your kid(s) that LOVES to party? Well Little Clubs Heads is the place for you!
