Fall is the best time to enjoy the outdoors. It’s not too hot, not too cold, and the foliage is bright and beautiful. Setup time for you and your employees to enjoy a nice picnic at the local park. Break some bread, share some wine, and have some laughs.

2. Pumpkin Picking

It’s not really fall till you’ve had that pumpkin [insert any of food or beverage imaginable]. Take the pumpkin crazy of fall and turn it into a fun team bonding trip for you and your staff. Schedule an afternoon for you and your staff to explore the nearby pumpkin patch. See who can find the great pumpkin first.

3. Hayrides

Hayrides are tons of fun. If you’re looking for a more laid-back, scenic ride, go during the day on a tour of the farm. If your employees are all about the thrill, try scheduling a haunted hayride trip at night.

4. Apple Picking
