4 Fall Family Activities In Stamford

No. 1
SWEET SPOT
Don’t miss the chance to get dressed up in your Halloween costume and head to Stamford Town Center on Sunday, October 27 from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. for the Stamford Moms Candy Crawl. Trick or treat for sweet surprises, decorate pumpkins, take photos with avorite characters and have a ghastly good time.

No. 2
PICKY EATERS
Nabbing fresh apples straight from the tree is an absolute must in fall. “Pick your own” typically begins in early September. Two of our favorite spots for this are Silverman’s Farm in Easton, which has animals to visit and feed, a country store and a playground. And Harvest Moon Farm and Orchard in North Salem, NY, where on weekends families can enjoy live music, food and cider. For the full list of our other favorite orchards, visit stamfordmoms.com.

A little later in the season, head out with the whole family to pluck your perfect pumpkin(s)! Designs by Lee is a top choice for both the selection and customer service. Be sure to visit the goats and take a turn on the playground. Keep an eye out for a list of their family-friendly fall events at designsbylee.com.

No. 3
DOLLARS TO DONUTS
In fall, we’re nuts for apple cider donuts. Lakeside Diner and Beldotti Bakery are faves for their versions that are best enjoyed on a crisp day at a nearby playground like Chestnut Hill or Barrett Park. There, little ones can burn off the sugar rush before begging to go back for seconds.

No. 4
EXTRA(FUN)CURRICULARS
The second annual Stamford Moms After School Activities Expo gives you and your kiddos a chance to meet, ask questions and see demos from more than 25 local programs, making it easy to decide the right fit for your child’s pastime pursuits this year. There’s a lot to enjoy, including a character appearance and more, on Sunday, September 8, 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. at Stamford Town Center.
