Take in the beautiful fall colours on horseback! There are tonnes of great ranches across the GTA, each with unique trails for you to enjoy. It’s a great activity to do with kids, giving them the opportunity to experience their first ride, interact with the horses and appreciate the scenery. Whether you’re an experienced or beginner rider, you’ll have a memorable day with family or friends. Follow up your ride with a thank-you treat for your horse and some hot apple cider for yourself!

Wildwood Ranch
Horseplay Niagara

Apple picking is a great activity you can enjoy as a family. It’s an opportunity to support a local farm while also teaching your kids about where their food comes from. Many farms include additional attractions like hay rides, pumpkin patches and farm animals, not to mention the apple goodies available for purchase– pies, jam and cider! Following your orchard outing, you can spend some time in the kitchen turning your freshly picked apples into delicious desserts.
Here are a few orchards to check out:
Brooks Farms
Dixie Orchards
Pingles Farm
