Well, it's officially Fall, the most beautiful time of the year! The leaves are turning different colors, the air is crisp and Halloween decorations are finally coming out of their storage bins! When St. Ambrose students are away from home during this season, they look into places near Davenport. Here are 5 places to visit in Davenport during the fall season!
Asylum of Mad Dreams:
Located in Cordova, IL this haunted attraction is definitely one to visit, especially with Halloween right around the corner. Asylum of Mad Dreams, about a 30 minute drive from St. Ambrose's campus, will be totally worth the drive and will scare your pants off! Be sure to go with a bunch of friends who don't mind you holding their hands and screaming in their ears because that's what will happen once you step foot in the asylum of mad dreams.
Buffalo Pumpkin Patch:
This small pumpkin patch can be found in Buffalo, IA, about 20 minutes away from campus. Buffalo Pumpkin Patch includes hay rides, pumpkin picking, corn mazes, a petting zoo and so much more fun activities for any ages!
Stone's Apple Barn:
Located in East Moline, IL, this small apple orchard lets you pick from various different apples (when in season). There are 55 different options to choose from.You are able to pick your own apples, go on hay rides pulled by tractors, and feed small animals.
Copper Creek Trail:
This trail is a walking trail that only lasts about a mile long. Even though its short, it would be nice to enjoy the light, cool breeze that an autumn day would bring. This trail is located in the small town of Preston.
Tailgating at a football game:
LET'S GO FIGHTING BEES! Homecoming is this Saturday which means there will be tailgating in the parking lot before the game. Grab a bunch of other Fighting Bee fans, get some good food and enjoy a game of football. While the air is not too hot, nor too cold, put on a sweater, stand in the bleachers, and cheer on your favorite team!
