4 Amazing Fall Activities You Can Drive to From Fayetteville, AR
1. Go Pumpkin Picking at Farmland Adventures
Nothing says “family fun” like a giant corn maze, the chance to ride a wagon, and pony rides. All that and more is up for grabs at Farmland Adventures. Be sure to pick your pumpkin and swing past the farmers’ market for any other fresh produce you might need for dinner! And it’s not just for kids – you can book for adult groups and enjoy things like sitting around the campfire. Plus, there’s plenty of parking for your VW.
2. Take in the Flowers at the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks
This gorgeous garden is home to some of the most dazzling native flora and fauna in the state. If you’re in the mood to relax, you can simply stroll amongst the twelve themed gardens and wander into the region’s only native butterfly house. Feel like learning more about the gardens’ ecosystem? There are plenty of educational resources available for children and adults alike, including hands-on learning experiences.
3. Road Trip to Lake Wellington
Want to get out of town? Pack the spacious Tiguan with camping supplies and head to Lake Wellington, a roughly two-hour drive away. There’s no better time to visit than Fall, when the leaves are a tapestry of orange and red. It’s tranquil and suitable for those traveling solo. If you’re not one for tents, they have cabins available for hire too. Enjoy a gentle walk around the lake or, for something more challenging, hike through the National Forrest.
4. Enjoy One of the Many Fall Festivals

For crafters and home cooks, the War Eagle Mills Arts & Crafts Fair is unmissable – at least stop by for the delicious food!
