FALLING INTO FALL

Gabby Zeeman, Editor

Colorful leaves, cool breezes, and gorgeous autumn skies fill the outdoor landscape as you sit at home figuring out what to do. Whether it’s with your closest friends or lovable sweetheart, there are multiple fall activities and events you can attend to. So, get out of those worn out pajama bottoms and say hello to multi-colored flannels, fleece scarves, and cozy beanies.  

Hotel of Horror 

Located in Saylorsburg, PA, this popular Halloween attraction will definitely be the icing on the cake to cure your fall blues.  

The horrific hotel includes multiple varieties of characters from possessed dolls to psycho killers. The theme of this event changes annually with two different sectors – one focusing on the hotel itself and one with a popular trend that occurred throughout the past year. Without a doubt, this event will bring you and your love bug closer than you’ve ever been by “saving” each other from your own fears.  

Mazezilla   

As you make your way to the haunted Hotel of Horror, you’ll be sure to pass Klingels farm as they’re located within a five-mile distance from each other. Most importantly, the farm provides their annual well-loved event Mazezilla. 

This fun-filled activity will have you smiling nonstop with pumpkin picking, pumpkin launch, wagon rides, barn animals, hay forts, corn boxes, yummy produce stand, and most importantly the 11-acre corn maze. With a variety as large as theirs, what’s not to like? 

Mazezilla is family friendly and provides you and your loved ones with memories that you’ll never forget.  

Grims Orchard 

With a packed full parking lot 24/7, located in Breinigsville, PA, Grims orchard provides you with a fun-filled fall festival including bounce pillows, pedal karts, pumpkin patches, a corn maze, their well-known apple orchard, and much more. 

But don’t let the sweetness of your surroundings fool you, Grim’s main goal is fun by light and fright by night. As light turns into darkness, all of Grim’s attractions turn into haunted events that will make you shiver and screech like you’ve never before. This bittersweet attraction will change your mood from down in the dumps to overfilled with joy in .2 seconds.   

Jacobsburg Park 

If haunted houses and corn mazes arent for you, try taking a stroll through Jacobsburg Park. Filled with breathtaking fall scenery and being as close as Nazareth, PA, makes this a family favorite. 

Jacobsburg is open all year round and gives you the opportunity to relax, relieve stress, and find your adventurous side. While exploring the trails or learning about some unknown history, you’re able to escape your shell and get a sense of fresh air and new landscape.  

Whether it’s with your close friends or family members, Jacobsburg Park is the place to be as you’re able to build stronger relationships and get to know one another. Who knew hiking could be so amusing? 

Pumpkin Carving 

We all can agree that everyone’s all-time favorite fall activity is, pumpkin carving. This hobby allows you to express your creativity and individuality. It’s all up to you.  

As you pick the particular size and style of your pumpkin, you’re able to plan out the face or image you’d like to carve into it. Yes, this process may leave you with a few globs of pumpkin guts on your clothes, but it will all be worth it as you and your closest friend’s pumpkin designs have you laughing until you cry.
