Check off your fall bucket list with these Wisconsin-inspired fun fall activities for families that are low cost and kid-friendly.
I’ve made it a point over the years to find ways to sneak in a few more outdoor activities with my family in autumn. Not only do you get the caveat of sans mosquitos but you also can make it a day out due to cooler temps with still plenty of sunshine.
And, living here in Wisconsin, fall is such a joy to behold. From the fall color to apple and pumpkin picking and more. It’s definitely a great time to get out and about.
Besides there are so many wonderful activities indoors (if the weather is less congenial) and out to get the kids involved in without costing an arm and a leg.
