Family-Friendly Fall Activities

Are you someone who can’t wait for sweater weather, loves seeing the leaves change colors, and enjoys the slight nip in the air? Those are all signs that fall is on the horizon, and there’s no better time to live in Reno than when the fall season starts. We’ve put together some family-friendly fall activities to help everyone in your household get into the spirit of the season!

Decorate Your Home

Front porch – a simple fall wreath, a few hay bales, and some pumpkins are all easy ways to add some warmth and cheer to your home. It also makes for a great place to take family photos for your holiday cards.
Table – Adding some plaid fabrics brightens up your meals, and if you want to kick it up a notch, get the family to help you create a centerpiece. You can add fall flowers, mini pumpkins, candles, and anything that reminds you of fall.

Have a Backyard Sleepover

Gather up all of your extra blankets and layer up your clothes to head outdoors. Enjoy the cool air and snuggle together to pick out the constellations. You can kick it up a notch by hanging a bed sheet on your fence to create a big screen and watch your favorite movies or by sharing your favorite ghost stories.

Jump in a Pile of Leaves

Raking up the colorful leaves may be the least fun fall activity, but diving into them before packing them up makes it all worth it!

Make Your Own Halloween Costume

Get clever and think outside of the box! Come up with a Halloween costume that you’re unlikely to see anyone else wear.

Tour the Neighborhood

Check out how everyone is getting into the fall and Halloween spirit by driving around or walking around to see the decorations.

Go Hiking

The best time to enjoy the views on one of the hundreds of trails in and around the city is when nature is bursting with color. Go hiking and discover your new favorite spot.

Decorate Pumpkins and Gourds

Carve, paint, or craft pumpkins and gourds. It’s a seasonal must!
