Fall Bucket List
Some of these are just thought starters, but Fall is my favorite, and it’s gone in a blink! I hope these give you some ideas.
Go on a hike to see the leaves somewhere like Willow River State Park or Barn Bluff, or take the gondola in Lutsen, or a scenic train ride!
Like these: Osceola & St. Croix Valley Railroad -They have fall color trains, a pumpkin express, and more. Take a look at information about each of the train options HERE.
North Shore Scenic Railroad - If you're planning on taking a trip up north, check this one out. It departs from Duluth. There are windows all over the train too so you won't miss anything! Check out more information HERE.
Lake Superior & Mississippi Railroad - Another option if you're going north, this one is also in Duluth. They have two trains that depart every day. Info HERE.
Pet all the animals at Fawn Doe Rosa
Jack-o-Lantern Spectacular at MN Zoo I think this is super cool!
Howl-o-Ween at the Science Museum -when else do you get to go to the Science Museum at night? Plus, they need our support!
Orchard/Pumpkin Patch- Some favorites: Sever’s, Minnetonka Orchard, Fall Harvest Orchard, Luceline Orchard, Jensen Pumpkin Patch

Bathe in all the PSLs…I don’t care if it’s basic. They’re great. Or make your own pumpkin creamer. I just made some with 1 cup of half and half (assuming any milk would work), 1tbsp of brown sugar, 3 tablespoons of pumpkin puree, 1 tsp of pumpkin pie spice and 1 tsp of vanilla!
Carve or Paint a pumpkin!
