Fall is the busiest season on the family calendar: the maples change colour, orchards open their rows, pumpkin patches and corn mazes draw families every weekend, and then comes Halloween. This complete guide brings together all our ideas for fall outings, from September to the end of November, with the listings of places open right now, region by region.
Where to start
Colours peak first in the north (Laurentides, Mauricie, Saguenay) in late September, then move south until mid-October. Apple picking runs from late August to mid-October, and pumpkin picking until Halloween. Thanksgiving weekends are the busiest: aim for mornings or weekdays when you can.
