Fall Family Adventures in Kissimmee

With leaves beginning to change, Kissimmee, Florida, becomes a colorful destination for fall family travel. Kissimmee offers plenty of activities, seasonal events and natural beauty for families to explore.

It’s not fall without a visit to a pumpkin patch. Kissimmee is home to plenty of pumpkin patches, where kids can explore fields filled with pumpkins of all shapes and sizes. Once you’ve found the perfect one, enjoy other activities such as hayrides and corn mazes. At Green Meadows Petting Farm, tour the farm, milk a cow and take a hayride through the fields. For a different experience, check out Promenade at Sunset Walk, where you can select the perfect pumpkin, take family fall photos, enjoy live music, wander through shops and dine at delicious restaurants.

Once you’ve done all the fall activities, take an airboat tour through the Kissimmee Everglades with Wild Florida. You might be able to spot alligators, herons and other unique animals while gliding through the fall foliage. For a more laid-back experience, kayak or canoe at Shingle Creek Paddling Center or visit Lake Tohopekaliga.

Adventurous families can head to Gatorland and take a ride on the Screamin’ Gator Zip Line and soar over alligators. Or, for unbeatable views, walk along the treetops at Orlando Tree Trek Adventure Park.

For those preferring to stay on solid ground, make sure to explore fall foliage while hiking through one of the many scenic trails. At Twin Oaks Conservation Area, hike through freshwater marshes and a live oak hammock, while Shingle Creek offers various biking and hiking trails.

And no trip to Kissimmee is complete without a trip to the charming town of Celebration, famous for its stunning homes and friendly neighborhoods. Celebration Bike Rental allows families to rent bikes and explore the beautiful downtown area through a guided or self-guided tour.
