🍂🎃 FALL IS APPROACHING, QUAD CITIES! 🎃🍂
If you’re anything like me, the second the weather starts getting cooler, I’m ready for ALL the fall things! 🍎🍁 Pumpkin patches, corn mazes, apple picking, hayrides, c***r, cozy sweaters, football, bonfires… give me all of it! 😂
And luckily, we don’t have to go far to find some seriously FUN fall adventures right here in the Quad Cities and surrounding areas! ❤️
🎃 PUMPKIN PATCHES
Grab the kids, the wagon and your camera and go find the perfect pumpkin! Some of the local favorites include Shady Knoll Farm in East Moline, Buffalo Pumpkin Farm, Corn Crib Nursery in Coal Valley, and Pride of the Wapsi in Long Grove! From pumpkin picking to hayrides, farm animals and plenty of kid-friendly activities, there’s something for just about everyone!
🌽 GET LOST IN A CORN MAZE
Because apparently wandering around in a giant cornfield is WAY more fun when you call it an activity. 😂🌽 Grab your family or friends and see who can actually make it out!
🍎 GO APPLE PICKING
Fall + fresh apples + apple c***r = YES PLEASE. 🍎 There are several orchards within an easy drive of the QC, including Stone’s Apple Barn in East Moline, Camp Creek Farm & Orchard in Lynn Center, and Gravert’s Apple Basket Orchard in Sabula.
🌻 FIND A SUNFLOWER FIELD
If you’re looking for the perfect fall photo spot, Pride of the Wapsi is bringing back its sunflower and zinnia fields this season, along with pumpkins, corn mazes, hayrides and 40+ farm attractions. 📸🌻
🍩 EAT ALL THE FALL TREATS
Apple c***r donuts… caramel apples… fresh c***r… kettle corn… pumpkin treats… basically, calories don't count when you're celebrating fall. 😉😂
🍂 TAKE A FALL DRIVE
Sometimes the best fall activity is simply hopping in the car, grabbing a coffee, turning up the music and taking the scenic route through the beautiful countryside surrounding the Quad Cities. 🍁🚗
🔥 BONFIRES + COZY NIGHTS
End the day with a fire, blankets, s'mores and good company. There really isn't much better than a crisp fall evening in the QC.
And if you're willing to venture a little farther, there are even more orchards, pumpkin farms, corn mazes and fall festivals within an easy day trip. Tanner's Orchard in Speer, Illinois, for example, has apple picking, pumpkins, a corn maze, farm animals, food and its Back 40 Fun Acres. 🍎🎃🌽
Basically… there is NO shortage of ways to make some fall memories around here! 🧡
So grab your people, put on your favorite sweater and go enjoy everything that makes fall in the Quad Cities and surrounding communities so special. 🍂
And while you're out exploring, don't forget to take a few pictures! 📸 Because the best part of living here isn't just the houses it's the life you get to live outside of them, too! ❤️
