Fall Fun
By Thaiss Del Rio
Now that “spooky” season is among us, pumpkin patches are beginning to emerge, haunted
houses are being put together, and the smell of pumpkin spice fills the air. As college
students, it can be difficult to afford all of the activities that come about during
fall, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy this fall season. Check out some
of these fun and inexpensive activities to do during the next couple of months!
Explore the Outdoors
Fall season is a perfect time to go out and enjoy some of Mother Nature’s most beautiful
sights, and it’s free! Whether it’s to go on a hike or a photo shoot, there are plenty
of options to choose from, we are in Utah after all. Here are some ideas! Lake Blanche
in Big Cottonwood Canyon and Bell Canyon Trail Hike.

Visit a Pumpkin Patch
There are so many pumpkin patches throughout this time of year that its so hard to
keep track! Visiting a pumpkin patch is a great excuse to yet again, take pictures!
But also, to pick out some pumpkins to carve out later in the night. Here are a couple
of my favorite pumpkin patches that I will be visiting soon.
Kuwahara’s Pumpkin Patch
Draper, UT
This was my favorite pumpkin patch that I went to last year! They had different themes
throughout the field and the coolest looking pumpkins!
Green Acres Family Dairy, Pumpkin Patch & Corn Maze
Ogden, Utah
I was recently here during their Sunflower festival,
and they were getting ready for the fall season!
They have fun activities for kids, animals, and a corn maze!
Mabey Farms Pumpkin Patch
South Jordan, Utah
Mabey Farms have a large selection of
pumpkins to choose from with over 14 acres of pumpkins!
