We love Fall in the Tennessee Valley! There’s no shortage of free/cheap fun to be had and we’ve listed some of our favorites below.

If you’re staying in town for the school break, be sure to consult our Fall Break Camp list. It’s not too late to sign the kids up for some fun camps & classes next week! I think you’ll find our 2019 Fall Activity Guide pretty handy for next week too, especially since we just added all the Halloween events to it!
