The leaves are changing and there is a nip in the air, Fall time has officially arrived. It’s time to put up the swimsuits and shorts and bring out the leg warmers and scarves. Looking for Fall time activities can be a little overwhelming. We have composed a master list of the top 5 Fall time activities for kids and where you can go to do them. If I have left any out, please let me know in the comment section and I will update this list periodically.
