It's such a wonderful time of the year. Until 11 AM when it's 80 degrees again because Maryland... 🙄<br>
<br>
Here are the best Fall activities within an hour(ish) drive of Annapolis. And remember: If you're sick, don't pick!<br>

Autumn without apple picking is Autumn wasted. There was a nasty frost this Spring that wiped out a ton of orchards, but some still have apples to pick. <h3 class="null" style="display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #000000;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 20px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;"> </h3> <h4 class="null" style="display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #000000;font-family: 'Roboto', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;">Larriland Farm</h4>

They've also got a maze and hayrides. The market is a classic farm shop with delicious goodies like apple cider, fudge, Larriland honey, jams and jellies, and a slew of other farm goods.<br>
<br>
Open until November 8. Tuesday through Friday: 9 AM - 6 PM. Saturday, Sunday: 9 AM - 5 PM. Monday: closed.<br>

Pumpkin Picking</h2>
Fun fact: I didn't carve a pumpkin until I was 22 years old. <h4 class="null" style="display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #000000;font-family: 'Roboto', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;"><br>

Butler's Orchard</h4>
Butler's usually has a huge play area. Most attractions remain closed, but some are still open where distancing is possible. You can rent out a site for a private bonfire and even add on a hayride.<br>
<br>
The good news is that pumpkin picking is still open. Admission is $3 and the pumpkins are $0.69 per pound. And of course there's a farm market with produce, caramel apples, fall squashes, mulling spices, and the king of all Autumnal indulgences... apple cider donuts.<br>
<br>
Open until November 1. <a href="https://butlersorchard.ticketspice.com/pyo-pumpkins" style="border-bottom: 2px solid #5182ff;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #000000;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Reservations required</a>.

Gaver Farm</h4>
Like Butler's, Gaver has some fun attractions to complement their pumpkin patch. High touch activities are closed, but some (like the corn maze!) are still available. And of course you can pick pumpkins for $0.59 per pound.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://gaver-farm.ticketleap.com/" style="border-bottom: 2px solid #5182ff;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #000000;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Tickets</a> are required for activities, but not pumpkin picking or the farm market.

Corn Mazes</h2>
There's nothing quite like getting lost in a corn maze. Both of these facilities have excellent search and rescue teams. Rumor has it they find 70% of lost children by the next weekend. <h4 class="null" style="display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #000000;font-family: 'Roboto', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;"><br>

Take a Ghost Tour</h4>
For the entire month of October, Watermark takes ghost tours through downtown Annapolis. You'll go through a creepy garden and hear real diary entries from the souls of Annapolis past.<br>
<br>
Tours are offered Thursday through Saturday. 7:30 PM - 9:15 PM & 8 PM - 9:45 PM.<br>

Bennett's Curse</h4>
Guaranteed scariest thing on this list. They have four different haunted experiences and admission includes all four! They even have a few social distancing nights with only animatronic scares - note: COVID precautions in effect all other nights too.<br>
<br>
The main event happens <a href="https://bennettscurse.com/hours/" style="border-bottom: 2px solid #5182ff;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #000000;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">every weekend in October</a>, but there are two special events in November: two blackout days (seriously, no lights) and of course... Friday the 13th.<br>
