Kids’ Favorites: Family-Friendly Fall Activities Around Avalon and Stone Harbor
Fall brings a different kind of energy to the Jersey Shore, with cooler temperatures, autumnal activities, and more opportunities to explore without the pace of the summer season. The Beachcomber Resort in Avalon, New Jersey, gives parents and children a place to call home while experiencing all the fall events the Jersey Shore has to offer.
Celebrate Halloween Around Cape May County
Halloween provides plenty of reasons for families to explore beyond Avalon during the fall. The Cape May Halloween Parade brings the season to one of southern New Jersey’s most recognizable Victorian towns. Get into the holiday ‘spirit’ and book a ride on the Ghosts of Cape May Trolley Tour, trick or treat at the Physick Estate, stroll down Scarecrow Alley, and explore all the other Halloween Happenings.
These Halloween activities give families a chance to dress up and enjoy some of the area’s most festive fall traditions together. The combination of costumes, decorations, and seasonal events makes for an exciting day that kids are sure to remember.
Enjoy Fall Festivals and Seasonal Events
About a 40-minute drive away from the Beachcomber Resort, Storybook Land in Egg Harbor Township offers a Halloween experience designed around younger visitors. Its Trick-or-Treat Weekends combine the familiar characters and storybook setting of the attraction with Happy Hay Rides and the Elmer’s Hay-Mazin’ Maze.
The Red Barn Farm Sunflower & Fall Fest in Hammonton offers a more rural autumn setting, with hayrides to the pumpkin patch, sunflower fields, farm activities, and a nighttime maze during all of October. These types of outings give children a chance to experience a side of southern New Jersey that looks very different from the coastal communities around Avalon and Stone Harbor.
From hayrides and mazes to pumpkins and farms, there is plenty for children to see and do while enjoying the sights, sounds, and traditions of autumn.
Return to the Beachcomber Resort for Family Time
After a day of exploring, families can return to the Beachcomber Resort and relax in their own comfortable space. The resort’s studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom suites give everyone space to unwind.
With family-friendly restaurants like Table One, Gully’s, Court House Diner Family Restaurant, and Bellevue Tavern nearby, families can also make an easy dinner stop part of their day without venturing far from the resort. The combination of nearby activities, local dining, and comfortable accommodations makes the Beachcomber Resort a convenient home base for a family getaway in Avalon.
