As we head into spooky season, there is lots to do in our little corner of Michigan! Take a break from browsing South Bend homes for sale and check out all your new home will have to offer. Here are a few fall and Halloween-themed attractions our real estate agents recommend.
- A-mazing Acres
A-mazing Acres is a real working farm, but they're also the go-to place for all your favorite fall farm attractions. Pick a pumpkin from their pumpkin patch, find your way through their corn maze, go for a hayride, visit with the barnyard animals, or amuse yourself by playing one of the many farmyard games they offer. A-mazing Acres is located at 18430 US-12 East, a perfect location for finishing off a day of browsing Edwardsburg homes for sale.
- Twin Maple Orchards
It's harvest season, and farms like Twin Maple Orchards are the perfect place to stock up on fall produce. Take the whole family on a tractor ride to the orchards to pick your own apples and plums, with plenty more produce to choose from in the farm's market. Take home fresh, locally grown zucchini, pumpkins, squash, tomatoes, beets, cucumbers, and even homemade pickles! Twin Maple Orchards is family-owned and has been supplying the community with delicious produce for more than 50 years.
- Niles Scream Park
More than just your average haunted house, Niles Scream Park offers 44 acres-worth of scary goodness. Visit the vast Niles Haunted House, lose your way in the Field of Screams, take a ride on the Dark Terror-tory Haunted Hay Ride, find your way through the Nuclear Nightmare, and try to beat the odds in their five-minute escape rooms. Next time you're in the area looking at Niles homes for sale, stop in at 855 Mayflower Road and find out how scary house hunting can be!
- Zoo Boo 2021
For something a little less scary, check out the Zoo Boo at Potawatomi Zoo, located at 500 South Greenlawn Avenue in South Bend. This annual fall event is perfect for all ages. Visit the animals, ride the Haunted Train, and take the kids on the Treat Trail to satisfy their sweet cravings. Zoo Boo only runs for a few days in 2021, from October 22nd until October 24th, so plan ahead and purchase your tickets ahead of time.
- Fall Color viewing in South Bend
South Bend is a beautiful area, and our falls are known for their vivid colors. If you're just looking for some quick sightseeing while you're out looking at houses, be sure to check out Notre Dame's campus, which is beautiful year round but especially when the trees begin to turn colors in the fall. If you have a little extra time for hiking and exploring, check out Potato Creek State Park and Spicer Lake Nature Preserve, both of which offer beautiful views in the fall.
All of the local activities, events, and local businesses are part of what makes our community in South Bend and the surrounding area so rich. It's part of what makes the difference between buying a house and finding a home.
