Fall activities

Massachusetts is an amazing place to visit year-round, and when the leaves explode with color and the fall air becomes crisp and cool, our state comes alive anew! Enjoy hot apple cider, hayrides, apple and pumpkin picking, corn mazes, and agricultural fairs. Plan a fall foliage tour, a day trip to or overnight stay at one of our many state parks, discover our national parks, or visit a nature center. Hunters can look forward to the season opening for deer, as well as black bears, turkeys, and waterfowl. Looking for more inexpensive fall fun?
