Fall is finally here!
The leaves change color, the days get colder and wetter, and there's pumpkin everywhere. It doesn't take much to get into the spirit of the season and want to do a million things, even if they're a little cliche. Something about fall makes us feel like kids again; the red-orange-yellow color scheme of elementary school crafts, sweet treats, and Halloween decorations easily fill us with nostalgia.
Just because you're an adult doesn't mean you have to act like one. Fall is the perfect season to indulge yourself and take part in some of your favorite childhood pastimes, like carving pumpkins and jumping in piles of leaves. It's also the perfect season for horror movies and Oktoberfest, so you can still feel your age.
Check out these 21 fall activities—do all of them for the ultimate autumn experience!
Go for a Drive to See the Foliage
The first sign of fall is always the leaves changing color, but going for a drive when they're at their brightest is one of the most enjoyable things you can do. It's a super romantic date, too!
Drink Apple Cider
Warm, cold, and mimosa form—no matter how you drink it, apple cider is one of the best parts of fall.
Carve Pumpkins
Whether you use a stencil or just wing it, pumpkin carving is a must every year. Besides, who doesn't love scooping out pumpkin guts?
Find Your Way Through a Corn Maze
Just make sure you wear boots—corn mazes can get messy!

Bonus points if you make apple pie when you get home.

Pumpkin pie, pumpkin muffins, pumpkins scones...whatever you pick, pumpkin is always 1000% better than the regular thing!

Okay, these are good all year long, but there's something magical about eating a caramel apple in the fall.
Visit a Haunted House
The scarier, the better.
