I’m always looking for something to do besides the usual dinner and a movie night, so I decided to share a list of 15 things to do during the month of October. Sometimes it’s just fun to mix things up a bit and try something new or just do something you haven’t done in a while.
- It’s Cider Time! Check out your local Cider Mill for all your donut and cider needs. Have fun picking apples, finding your way through a corn maze, and enjoying other fun activities. – To find a location near you, please visit: metroparent.com
- Halloweekends at Cedar Point, technically Cedar Point is in Sandusky, Ohio but it’s only a couple of hours away. It’s like a mini road trip. Who doesn’t love a road trip? For more information visit: Cedarpoint.com
