There’s nothing quite like fall to make us yearn for rich flavors, warm colors and festive outings. From visiting apple orchards to traipsing through corn mazes, Utah features a bounty of family friendly activities. Those of us at Wall Legal Solutions understand that the first years after a divorce often bring a slew of emotions around the autumn and winter holidays. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of affordable (many of which are free!) things that you and your children can enjoy together without all the pressure that frequently accompanies the season.

Fall Family Activities in Utah

Dia de Los Muertos — 3003 Thanksgiving Way, Lehi, UT

Celebrate the fusion of culture and art by participating in a traditional Latin American custom. Listen to vibrant music, watch dance performances featuring vivid, colorful costumes, and learn about a tradition steeped in history.

Petersen Family Farm Harvest Festival — 11800 South & 4000 West, Riverton, UT

Let your younger children experience the thrill of riding a pony; bounce along together on a fall wagon ride; and let the older kids climb a straw tower before heading to an expansive corn maze or pumpkin patch.

Corn Mazes and Pumpkin Patches: Halloween Activities

Little Bear Bottoms — 5000 US-91, Wellsville

Open through October 31, this family farm features a haunted river trail with eerie ghosts, strange farmers and creeping spiders. There’s also a spooky barn, corn mazes and hay tunnels to explore.

Wheeler Farm Pumpkin Days — 6351 South 900 East, Salt Lake City

With wagon rides, hay mazes and a pumpkin patch, Wheeler Farm embodies the spirit of the season without the scary add-ons that older kids and teens appreciate. This outing is more geared toward parents with younger children.

Cornbelly’s Corn Maze and Pumpkin Fest — 3003 N. Thanksgiving Way, Lehi

There are so many fall activities for families to enjoy here, it’s hard to include them all. During the day, enjoy Corn Cob Beach, hay rides, rat rollers, a zip line and paintball. There’s also princess visits, pig races, gemstone mining and a giant slide. In the night hours, feel your way through the Chaos Castle, try to escape the Big Top Terror, venture through the belly of a beastly creature, and watch a colorful fireworks show.
