After writing my last article on reasons I love the fall, I decided to write one dedicated to things to do on Long Island during the fall. Long Island is a great place to live during the fall season. We have The Hamptons and the North Fork to go pumpkin and apple picking, as well as dozens of haunted houses and fall festivals. Here are some of my favorite fall festivities on the island.
1) Harbes Family Farm
715 Sound Ave, Mattituck, NY, 11952
You are never too old to go pumpkin picking! Harbes Family Farm is great for all ages. Harbes Family Farm offers pumpkin picking, apple picking, has a winery, themed corn mazes, farm animals, and more!
2) Bayville Scream Park

One of the scariest haunted houses on the island. Bayville Scream Park features 5 different attractions as well as birthday parties and kids days.
3) NYZ Zombie Apocalypse
