Fall 2025 will be here before you know it — and if you want your pick of the best resorts, cabins, and family-friendly adventures, now’s the time to start planning! Whether you’re craving pumpkins and theme park thrills or crisp air and scenic views, we’ve rounded up the top fall getaways perfect for families.
🍂 1. Walt Disney World — Orlando, FL
Mickey knows how to throw a party, and fall at Walt Disney World is proof. From Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party to seasonal treats that are almost too cute to eat (almost), Disney in the fall is pure magic. Bonus? The crowds are usually a little lighter than summer — and by "lighter" we mean you might not have to elbow anyone for a Dole Whip.
Why It’s Great for Families: ✅ Something for all ages — from toddlers to teens to grandma in her matching Mickey ears. ✅ Spooky (but not scary) fun. ✅ Food & Wine Festival for the grown-ups (because you deserve a passport too).
🎃 2. Great Smoky Mountains — Gatlinburg, TN
If you want to swap palm trees for actual fall leaves (they do exist!), the Smokies are calling. Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge are packed with kid-friendly attractions, cozy cabins, and scenic views that make you wonder why you don’t road trip more often.
Why It’s Great for Families: ✅ Outdoor adventures for every age. ✅ Dollywood’s Harvest Festival (pumpkins and roller coasters — name a better duo). ✅ Cabin rentals with hot tubs, game rooms, and space for everyone to sprawl.
🍎 3. New England — Classic Fall Road Trip
If your idea of fall fun involves apple picking, sweater weather (optional for Floridians), and Instagram-worthy foliage, a New England road trip needs to be on your 2025 bucket list. Cruise through Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts for small towns with big charm — and cider donuts that might change your life.
Why It’s Great for Families: ✅ Easy to customize — short weekend or week-long adventure. ✅ Picture-perfect stops for family photos (holiday card, anyone?). ✅ Cozy inns, fun festivals, and plenty of outdoor fun.
🧟♂️ 4. Universal Orlando Resort — Orlando, FL
Theme park fun doesn’t stop when summer ends, and Universal brings the thrills all year long. While the Halloween Horror Nights crowd is screaming their way through the fog, families can enjoy milder fun at Volcano Bay, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and all the kid-friendly excitement at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure.
Why It’s Great for Families: ✅ On-site resorts with pools and family suites. ✅ Harry Potter magic year-round. ✅ Fall sunshine for those not ready to give up pool days just yet.
🏞️ 5. National Parks — Crowd-Free Fall Adventures
If your family loves the great outdoors, fall is the perfect time to explore one of America’s stunning national parks. Cooler temps, fewer crowds, and wide-open spaces for the kids to run wild (while you pretend you’re narrating a nature documentary).
Why It’s Great for Families: ✅ Budget-friendly — your wallet will thank you. ✅ Perfect for adventure-loving families. ✅ Endless learning opportunities disguised as fun.
