Fall in Philadelphia

Want to experience a taste of what the Fall Season has to offer? Head to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This city and some of the surrounding towns provide an array of things to do, from taking the kids on a hayride, to visiting historic haunted houses and other spooky sites.

If you are looking for family friendly things to do in Philadelphia, you won’t be disappointed. There are plenty of attractions that cater to children, including the Franklin Institute, and the Philadelphia Zoo, where on October 25th and 26th you can take your kids to “Boo at the Zoo.” For sights to see just outside of the city, head to the popular Linvilla Orchards - here you can sip cider, pick pumpkins, get lost in a maze or go on a moonlit hayride. Other local events in October include the Count’s Halloween Spooktacular at Sesame Place in Langhorn and the Great Pumpkin Carve from October 23-25th at the Barns-Briton House in historic Chadds Ford.

Looking for an attraction that’s sure to leave you breathless? Head to the Eastern State Penitentiary now through November 2nd to participate in Terror Behind the Walls, a haunted nighttime tour of one of the most famous prisons in the United States. The prison was closed in 1970 and has been turned into a popular landmark, especially in the fall. For more historical activities in Philadelphia, be sure to head to Edgar Allen Poe’s house on 7th street to remember his famously haunting tales or visit the Dracula Festival at the Rosenbach Museum and Library.
