Treasure Valley Harvest Festivals & Family Farm Adventures

Fall in Idaho is absolutely magical, as the City of Trees turns from green to golden and the air turns crisp for morning hikes and sunset bike rides. There is no better time to get out and enjoy the foothill trails or greenbelt paths, and we love that so many Boise neighborhoods celebrate the change of seasons by breaking out the Halloween decor!

One of our favorite fall activities in Boise is grabbing a coffee or hot chocolate from a Hyde Park café and strolling down Harrison Boulevard, enjoying the crunch of leaves and previewing the creative & extravagant holiday decorations. 

If you’re looking for other family-friendly fall activities, consider getting out of the city limits to embrace the Treasure Valley’s agricultural roots. From pumpkin patches to corn mazes, hayrides, and seasonal treats - here’s a roundup of some of our favorite fall experiences that are sure to put you in the seasonal spirit.
