Fall Family Fun: A Weekend Itinerary

The perfect Fall Family Weekend awaits in Bucks County. With hard cider tastings for the adults and outdoor activities for the kids, Autumn has never looked like a better time to take a trip. Follow this itinerary for an a-maze-ing time and see it in action here.  

Saturday 

10:00 a.m.  

Start off your weekend by sipping on freshly pressed hard apple cider at Manoff Market Cidery while perusing the abundant farm market goods and fresh seasonal fruit. Take home a bottle of their Pink Lady or Barrel of Monkeys cider in addition to unique blackberry vinegar or a jar of homemade jam.  

11:00 a.m.  

Next, explore the eclectic streets of downtown New Hope! Check out Ditto Vintage, The Den, Exquisite Earth, or Farley’s Bookshop for an authentic look into this small town’s charm. From modern restaurants to historic buildings, New Hope truly has everything. Take a stroll along the Delaware River to work up an appetite before lunch! 

12:30 p.m. 

Enjoy a historic lunch at the Landmark Tavern, housed in the Logan Inn. For the sweet tooth, the tavern has decadent Peaches and Cream French Toast or a Blueberry Waffle with whipped ricotta and candied lemon. For a heartier meal, dig into the Steakhouse Burger or Mediterranean Grain Bowl.

3:00 p.m. 

Venture to Yardley and get lost in the corn maze or pumpkin patch of Shady Brook Farm’s Fall Fest after jamming out to live music or mining for gems with the little ones. This farm knows how to do family fun, no matter the season!  

7:30 p.m. 

Travel back in time for dinner at the Continental Tavern in Yardley. There are tales that the building sits above a portion of the Underground Railroad. Try their signature Continental Bacon Burger or Striped Bass to get the full experience, enjoyed alongside one of their bottled craft beers.

10:00 p.m. 

After an eventful day, head to Peddler’s Village and settle in for a good night’s rest at the Golden Plough Inn. Offering luxurious comfort with flat-screen televisions and gas fireplaces, these cozy and charming rooms are perfect for spending the night.   

Sunday 

11:00 a.m.  

To get a headstart on the day, stop by Caleb’s American Kitchen in Lahaska for brunch. The kids will enjoy the French Toast Sticks or Silver Dollar Pancakes, while the adults will enjoy the Baked Avocado with a poached egg or Gravlax Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict. The restaurant is modern, bright, and has a menu that will not disappoint.  

1:00 p.m. 

Be wowed and spooked by Peddler’s Village Scarecrows in the Village display. Handmade by local residents and organizations, every scarecrow has its own story. Visitors can vote for their favorites of the 100+ scarecrows, so make sure to check out all of them! While strolling through the village, stop by shops such as Bucks County Peanut Butter Shoppe, Bucks Bespokery to make your stationary dreams come true, Country Accents, or The Cloak and Wand for a glimpse into the wizarding world.  

Between scarecrow frights and cider flights, Bucks County has plenty of Autumn activities to offer. If you’re looking to pack your trip with even more Fall fun, find inspiration here.
