Hello, and welcome back to the blog. This might be your first fall in Boston, so there are actually quite a few fun things to do while watching the leaves change color. Lately, my tiktok page has been full of different Halloween and fall-related content. Some of which are actually near Boston and are incredibly tempting.
Franklin Park Zoo has recently come out with a new spectacle known as “Boston Lights: A Lantern Experience,” which features bright neon lights in various animal shapes. There are over 50 displays, with brightly lit lanterns spanning over the zoo’s 72 acres. It is the perfect backdrop for Instagram pictures. During corona this zoo has become a spectacle, with tickets to go currently unavailable until November. Tickets for non-members are currently priced at $20 per person.
If you’re a big fan of Halloween, Hanson Haunted Hayride might be just the place for you. Located in Framingham, MA, and open Friday and Saturday nights, this is a family-friendly outdoor haunted attraction that has been a local tradition since 1993. Basically, 100 volunteers will be coming out to scare you while you are on that hayride, which is a pretty fun socially-distanced way to enjoy the holiday. The farm itself is also available for picking various fruits and vegetables, which might satisfy the need for apple picking that everyone seems to have recently.
Davis Farmland & Megamaze is another spot on the list that features apple and pumpkin picking for the fall. It is in Sterling Massachusetts, and also has a large corn maze for if you want to stimulate your mental abilities.
Taking a walk through the Boston public garden is actually a really nice way to experience the fall for the first time. There’s plenty of colorful flowers and plants as well as swan boats for if you want to see a different view of the color-changing leaves of the season.
The Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University is the perfect place for bike rides. It is North America’s oldest public arboretum, with over 280 acres of beautiful trees and flowers. It is basically a living museum from the different species of North American and East Asian plants that grow there!
That’s all for today, I hope you enjoyed or found something you’re interested in going to!
