It's officially fall, as of Saturday, September 23rd.  The weather is turning here in Wilmington, the leaves are changing and we can feel a crisp in the air.

The holidays are quickly approaching.  Spooky season is almost upon us and we are looking for Family Fun in Wilmington to enjoy this fall.

What's better than putting on your fall outfits of puffy vests and leggings, those boots you've been waiting all summer to wear, grabbing a pumpkin spice latte and heading out the door for some family fun?  It's truly the beginning of the best time of each year.

It's hard to find something to do that will satisfy all members of the family.  These events happening in the Wilmington area, and areas nearby, have something to make all members of the family enjoy the day.

Looking for ideas for a fall date day?  We've got those here for you too!  Looking for something to do with the kids?  We've got you covered.

A favorite for my family, and I know for most families, is Linvilla Orchards.  Two of our favorite things to do are the corn maze and the apple slingshot.  And of course, we can't leave without a pumpkin or five.
