15 Seriously Awesome Fall Activities For Adults Who Want To Have Fun
Want to have some serious fun this fall season? These fall activities for adults will give you the most festive and fun fall season that you’ve had so far!
As a recent college graduate, I only just began to appreciate the beauty of fall time and autumn. I use to ALWAYS associate fall with just the dreadful “back to school” notion, but after being out of school for a year, I realize there is just so much more Fall, especially for adults. 😉
After realizing that Fall is the most BEAUTIFUL time of the year, it brought me one of my biggest lessons I’ve learned in life: to take things slow. I learned all of this from spending hours upon HOURS outside enjoying the striking views of the leaves all around.
Just think about it: Fall is the perfect season to be outside. It’s not too hot, it’s not too gold, it’s practically Goldilocks being “just right”. Fall is the season to embrace nature’s beauty by going outside as much as you can and enjoying good company.
The final factor that made me OBSESSED with fall is my last fall season, when my lovely boyfriend and I went on a hike practically EVERY weekend in the Fall. We started off the hikes as a fun, and (free) activity to do with each other (as we are trying to pay of student debt), but later actually fell in love with hiking, and did not want to do anything else but enjoy the lovely weather and leaves surrounding.
This fall season I challenge you to take a look at some of these activities and do them with happiness. Step out of your comfort zone and embrace your seasonal living by doing as many seasonal activities as you can. During your journey you just might fall in love with autumn all over again. ❤️
This post is all about 15 seriously awesome fall activities for adults who want to have fun.
15 Fun Fall Activities For Adults
1. Corn Maze
Every since I was a kid, my family went to a corn maze, and it NEVER disappointed! Whether you have kids or want to go with adult friends, you should consider a corn maze!
This fall activity for adults typically has many games and activities before the corn maze, and then once you are in the maze, you have to use all of your directional skills to make your way out! Make sure to do proper research before picking the corn maze, because you do not want to accidentally arrive at a haunted corn maze!
2. Hiking
Hiking is one of the best fall activities for adults because it’s truly the BEST time to hike. If you ever want to go on a hike: fall is the time! The beautiful leaves, the crisp weather, and the cute animals are all alive during this time. Not to mention most of the bugs die off by fall!
As I mentioned earlier, hiking in the fall time singlehandedly made me fall in love with fall and autumn. If you are someone who wants to deepen their relationship with fall, then hiking is your best bet!
If you’re just looking for some fun outdoors time with friends, then this is your best bet! There’s nothing better than spending time outside with great views and having good conversation.
3. Oktoberfest
Fall time means beer!! More specifically Oktoberfest! I’m not saying you need to fly all the way to Munich Germany this fall activity for adults (although that’s not a bad idea…) but I am saying that there’s plenty of local Oktoberfest festivals, even in the United States!
One example of an Oktoberfest party is in Dulles, Virginia. They fly in actual German vendors and beers and through an AWESOME party. To confess, I have never been, but my parents have and they will not stop raging about it! They started going about two years ago have no plans to stop going.
Invite your friends out to a local brewery or throw your own Oktoberfest to immerse yourself in the entire fall aesthetic.
4. Bake Cider Donuts
If you’re a baker, then you NEED to bake cider donuts. These are so delicious and a staple to the fall time. One of the fall activities for adults is having a girls night and baking these bad boys. There’s seriously nothing better than baking with your friends.
Besides the cider donuts, there are SO MANY different baking options you can bake. There’s cinnamon rolls, pumpkin cheesecakes, apple crumb cake, glazed apple bundt cake. So pick your favorite dessert and get baking!
5. Tailgate a Football Game
For all of the sports fans out there, tailgating a football game needs to be on your list! Fall time is the time of football, so get your best sports fan friends and get tailgating!
Some examples of games you can go to are pro football games, college football games, high school football games, and even local games.
Make sure to bring a grill if you want some fresh food and have enough to share!
6. Renaissance Fair
To confess, I’ve only been to a renaissance fair once, but I literally had SO MUCH fun there! From the entertainment to the outfits to the food, renaissance fairs have so much to offer! I hope to go back again this fall.
If you are a nerd for renaissance attire, LOVE fantasy stories (like me), have a liking to dressing up in costumes, or just want to have a good time, the renaissance fair is for you. You are guaranteed to have a great time at one of these fairs.
7. Leaf Art
For all of the artsy people out there, take advantage of the ~FREE~ art supplies of leaves all around you and create leaf art! There are endless of possibilities that leaves can add to your art work, so have a fun art day with your friends and enjoy!
This fall activity for adults is so much fun in a group. Unless you LOVE art and find it as a way of meditation, art as a form of activity to do with your friends is one of the most fun things to do with your friends.
8. Go to a Cidery
The fall season is the perfect time to go to a cidery and try all of the different fall flavors. Cidery’s in the fall have an extra charm, since typically they are outside, and you are surrounded by all of the beautiful leaves.
Cidery’s are perfect for the fall time because they are typically made from apples, and if you know anything about apples, they are absolutely the fall aesthetic.
9. Apple Picking
Continuing with the apple theme, apples blossom and are so popular during the fall time, so you need to make sure to hit up the apple picking!
If you are looking to bake any fall desserts or fall meals, then apple picking is for you! Pick many of the apples and include them in your fall baking, as there’s no better time during the year to cook or bake with app,es than the fall time.
10. Have a Bonfire
Ahhh, the fall nights are the beginning of dropping temperatures. Having a bonfire is the perfect way to keep the outside socialization going during the fall time. To make your bonfire even better, add s’mores!
Some of the best conversations I’ve had with people was with the fire crackling and smoke blowing. You can really get into deep and good conversations at a bonfire.
11. Carve or Paint A Pumpkin
Another fall activity for adults is carving a pumpkin or painting pumpkin. But wait… isn’t this just for kids? NOPE! Painting or carving a pumpkin seriously never gets old.
Go the extra mile and have a pumpkin carving contest! Paint or carve your pumpkin, post it on instagram, and have your followers vote for which one is their favorite! Remember this is all “friendly” competition.
12. Build a Scented Candle
Who doesn’t love a good scented candle? To make your home really feel like fall time, you should add a fall scented candle to your house. But, instead of just buying a fall scented candle, why not make one?!
Making candles with your friends is a great way to socialize while creating a fun task. You can even create a cute candle holders if you are feeling extra artsy!
13. Host a Potluck
Another one of the fall activities for adults is hosting a potluck dinner. Whether you host the potluck dinner at your home or at a local part, it’s a great way to enjoy your friends company.
A potluck is perfect for the fall time because of the fantastic weather that fall time offers. Who wouldn’t want to be outside with food under the beautiful leaves surrounded by all of your favorite people?
14. Pumpkin Patch
Pumpkin patches are very iconic for the fall time… for good reason. They are naturally produced in the fall, so embrace the fall season and fall aesthetic by going to a pumpkin patch!
If you want to decorate your house to be fall themed, then take a look at a good pumpkin patch! They are the perfect way to socialize with your friends while finding the perfect fall decoration for your home.
15. Farmers Market
Last but NOT least you should go to a farmers market for your fall activity. This fall activity for adults is one that you want to prioritize during the fabulous weather.
Farmers markets are around when the weather is nice, so catching the farmers market during fall is perfect to enjoy farmers market before the season ends.
