31 Easy Fall Bucket List Ideas to Do This Fall

Fall is our favorite time of the year. The temperatures are starting to cool down. Halloween will be here before you know it and then it won’t be long before we will be celebrating Thanksgiving.
Each year I make a bucket list of things I would like to do in the fall. I don’t ever get all of it done but that’s okay. This year I wanted to share my list with you.

Do you make a bucket list of things you want to do in the fall? If you do, are our lists similar? What’s on your fall bucket list that is not on my list? We’d love to hear from you!


Walking in a corn maze is one those things I keep missing every year. This is such a helpful list, I think Im just going to batch my trips and try to get at least 5 done this year.

It goes by so fast, but I love fall! So far, we have crossed the following off of our bucket list: visit pumpkin patch, make chili, rake leaves, go to football games, carve pumpkins, hot apple cider, pumpkin bread, and we have located our winter weather gear. Phew! 🙂
Wonderful ideas. I love Autumn and can’t wait to do some of these!
I just did a little fall bucket list with my kids. It’s a great activity! Everything on your list is a must do.
