There’s something so endearing about fall -- it’s invigorating cool weather, the colorful leaves, the crisp fresh air. There’s truly nothing better. Growing up in Florida, I felt like fall was nearly non-existent -- just a momentary transition between when the sweltering heat subsides and all of the leaves are shaken from their branches. Now that I live in South Carolina, I can fully appreciate all of the wonders that are fall and can understand why it is indisputably the greatest season. This is a list of seasonal activities that will help you make the best of your fall in Greenville, South Carolina.
1. Apple Picking at Sky Top Orchard
Pick you’re very own apples while taking in the panoramic mountain views. Hot “made while you watch” apple cider doughnuts are a must!
2. Nightmare Dungeon 3 Haunted House
Voted the scariest haunted house in South Carolina, this adventure is sure to frighten even the bravest of visitors. There are three attractions -- the Carnage Meat Locker, the Nightmare Dungeon and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre House, all guaranteed to bring your worst nightmares to life. You may even run into Leatherface.
3. Greenville Ghost Tours
If real fear is more your speed try the Greenville Ghost Tour. This creepy tour takes guests directly to the most haunted place sin downtown Greenville. The tour is led by local author, psychic and paranormal researcher Jason Profit.

Tandem crepes are delicious any time of the year, but they’re especially delicious when seasonal flavors like pumpkin pie hit the menu. One of their signature sweet crepes is topped with spiced pumpkin, crunchy grahams, cream, pecans, and vanilla-maple syrup. It’s killer, so go get one.
