Don't miss out on the most Instagrammable adventure of fall! Apple orchards with PYO options are a great excuse for a family day trip. Visit Hurds Family Farm, Kelder's Farm, Lawrence Farms Orchards and other cool spots within driving distance.

  • Things to do

Head to Governors Island on the ferry for a family adventure in the fresh air! You can rent bikes and go for a ride around the island, pack a picnic and chill in the fields, or head to slide hill and brave the longest slide in NYC. Or, you know, try all three.
