Amazing FALL family fun here with Kidsburgh! Kristine Sorensen comes in each Wednesday to give us the scoop! Look at it all here!
1 -See the fall foliage at Autumfest at Seven Springs
There's so much more to do at Sevel Springs than ski. Hit the road out of the city to the Laurel Highlands for Autumnfest at Seven Springs. The foliage has been rated some of the best in the U.S. for fall leaf-peeping. You'll find hay rides, games, the Alpine Slide and a Kids' Zone. See the full Autumnfest schedule here.
2 - Two Halloween events
Punkin Chunkin
The annual Punkin Chunkin festival on Oct. 22 at Hartwood Acres is truly a blast! Watch as SHARP Robotics from Sarah Heinz House launches pumpkins across the field with a full-size trebuchet. The day includes loads of free activities like balloon art, hands-on crafts, face painting and Medieval sword fighting lessons. Save your appetite for the lineup of food trucks and vendors. Admission is free.
Track and Treat
This annual Citiparks event on Oct. 22 combines family fun with a focus on a healthy lifestyle. Bring bicycles or borrow a bike on-site to pedal around the Bud Harris Cycling Track. Track and Treat includes bike safety lessons, a bike decorating station, games and a costume contest. Keep the energy up with refreshments and great eats from food trucks. Free.
3 - Big attractions with Halloween events -- Zoo, Aviary & Idlewild
HallowBoo!
Don't miss this favorite among the annual Halloween events for Pittsburgh families: Idlewild Park serves up an exciting family-friendly, Halloween-themed celebration with its annual Hallowboo! Kids can trick-or-treat through the Story Book Forest, meet Princess Lily and Daniel Tiger, plus take part in a ghoulish (but not scary) dance party. Lots of seasonal-themed amusement rides will encourage laughs and screams, too. HallowBoo! runs weekends through Oct. 30. Admission is $34.99 for ages 3 and older.
ZooBoo
This is another favorite among the Halloween events for Pittsburgh families. Kids can dress in their best Halloween costumes to follow the Trick-or-Treat Trail at the annual ZooBoo, running Oct. 22, 23, 29 and 30 at Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium. Themed features are geared to little ones with not-too-scary haunt spots and creepy craft activities. March in the spooktacular parade to compete in the costume contest. And be sure to check out the zoo animals who put on a special show with their Halloween treats. ZooBoo activities and candy are free with zoo admission.
Owl-O-Ween
Who-o-o's looking for fun? This owl-themed Halloween party at the National Aviary offers a full day of activities on Oct. 15, 16, 22 and 23. Come in costume for trick-or-treat and receive a goody bag of cool stuff. Head to story time and an owl meet and greet. Visit the Bat Habitat for an educational talk. And don't miss creating an owl craft to take home. Owl-O-Ween activities are included with Aviary admission.
And this is amazing! This will be going on the MOON in a few weeks and you can watch it being built right here! MY GOODNESS!
