Looking for fall bucket list ideas? This is a great way to make sure you get to all your favorite activities of the season – or start some new autumn traditions! And Green Vacation Deals has you covered. We’ve put together a list of the 8 best fall bucket list items. Whether you’re looking for fun fall things to do for families, couples, kids, or adults, these seasonal favorites are a must.

Visit a Corn Maze

Visiting a corn maze is such an iconic fall activity, don’t you think?  It’s fun to take in the autumn air while challenging yourself to a puzzle.  It can be a lot of fun to complete with your family, friends, a date, or by yourself!

If you are looking for a great corn maze in the USA, check out what made our list of the top U.S. corn mazes.

Decorate a Pumpkin

Decorating or carving a pumpkin can be a fun solo or group activity. And as an added bonus, you can display your work of art outside (or inside) your home! Disney fans can consider getting one of these Disney pumpkin kits for painting or adding push in decorations.

Decorate Your Home for Fall

Add a few fall decor elements or redecorate the entire house! Either way, you can surround yourself with beautiful reminders of the season. If you love the ocean as much as I do, consider going with some fall coastal decor. Or go for something simple and subtle like these throw pillow covers with a pumpkin pattern.

Have a Fall or Halloween Movie Night

Get cozy and comfortable and binge-watch some of the best movies set in fall or with a Halloween theme!

Some of the movies our family enjoys watching in October include:

  • Hocus Pocus
  • Nightmare Before Christmas
  • The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

See the Fall Foliage

Take a scenic drive or walk to appreciate the gorgeous oranges, yellows and reds of the changing leaves. You could even consider taking one of these 20 fantastic fall foliage excursions.

Take a Ghost Tour

The autumn season overlaps with the spooky season. And what better way to celebrate the spooky season than by hunting for actual ghosts? If you live in the US, check out this list of the 60+ ultimate ghost tours in America and find the best tour near you.

Bake a Seasonal Pie

As the weather gets cooler, there’s really something about a freshly baked pecan, pumpkin, or apple pie. But if you don’t have the time (or the desire) to make it yourself, our family highly recommends the pumpkin pie at Sam’s Club.

Attend a Football Game

Show your school spirit and catch a high school or college football game. Support your favorite team by getting branded tailgating supplies (like South Carolina Gamecocks tailgating gear, Ole Miss tailgating gear, Ohio State tailgating gear, or Georgia tailgating gear).

Or support your favorite NFL team! Can’t make it in person? Consider getting a streaming service like NFL+ or ESPN+ so you can watch the games in the comfort of your home.
