What is there to do during fall in IA?
Iowa is such a magical place in the fall. Before it gets too chilly outside, there's a crisp breeze in the air that is oh-so refreshing after the balmy summer months. One of our favorite activities to enjoy during fall in IA is taking a boat ride on the beautiful Lake MacBride. The surrounding trees erupt in a gorgeous display of seasonal colors, and it's so relaxing to glide along the water while taking in the scenery. After docking your boat, you can hop out and take a stroll along the shoreline to soak up the views even more!
What are the best pumpkin patches in IA?
Is it even fall if you don't visit a pumpkin patch? We think not. In the spirit of tradition, one of our favorite pumpkin patches in IA is Howell’s Pumpkin Patch, located in Cumming. Just 10 miles south of Des Moines, this charming destination comes alive every fall with a u-pick pumpkin patch, bonfires, a corn maze, and so much more. There are also lots of festive eats, plus a gift shop brimming with seasonal décor! If you're in search of a family-friendly autumn activity, it doesn't get much better than Howell's Pumpkin Patch.

Not every fall activity is for the faint of heart...including one of the scariest haunted houses in IA, Scream Acres. With four terrifying attractions all in one place, this Halloween attraction features a slaughterhouse, haunted corn maze, zombie prison, and 2,800-square-foot creepy carnival. If you're brave enough to make it through all four haunts, it's an experience you will never forget.
