Fall in Love with Autumn: The Best Seasonal Adventures in the Hudson Valley
From spooky frights to cozy delights, the Hudson Valley is the prime place to spend the fall season. Whether you’re trying to soak up the last week of October or relax before the holiday rush, here is a list of five fall activities to schedule in the upcoming weeks.
Upstate Films: A not-for-profit organization, Upstate Films showcases distinguished movies everyday since their grand opening in 1972. Not only does the theatre present beloved indie films, like “Napoleon Dynamite”, but also screens more unique options, like their upcoming show “Talking Heads Live 1976 + 1980”, a mashup of the band’s performances in SoHo and Rome. Grab your friends (and a free popcorn, with our Saugerties Ultimate Discount Card) to have a cozy and transformative experience while viewing some of the most powerful stories of our time.
Angry Orchards: Did you know that the only visitable Angry Orchards Cidery is located right here in the Hudson Valley? Just off Albany Post Rd. in Walden, the Angry Orchard Cider House is the perfect spot to host a party or private event. But, for a quick and casual getaway, the orchard is open to the public and includes cider flights, exclusive merch, and delectable treats.
Spins Bowl: Name a more classic way to spend your weekend. With multiple locations scattered across the Hudson Valley, Spins is the perfect place to bring the whole family. Beyond bowling, Spins also features a full bar, snack services, ax throwing, and, our personal favorite, a redemption arcade. With the purchase and a one hour lane, and our Wappingers, Poughkeepsie, or Caramel card in hand, you can redeem a free $5 arcade card. From Mario Kart to Whack-a-Mole (or Whack-a-Despicable Me Minion), kids and adults alike are guaranteed to have a blast.
Kevin McCurdy’s Haunted Mansion: This one’s for the thrill seekers who are in search of last minute Halloween plans. With 49 years of scarring experience, Kevin McCurdy’s Haunted Mansion is sure to make even its most brave patrons shriek! This year, the attraction is presenting “The Keeper”, but we are especially excited for next year’s 50th anniversary spooktacular.
Catskill Mountain Spa: After all that screaming, you will probably need a lot of time to relax and rejuvenate. For the most luxurious experience around, visit Catskill Mountain Spa. Between facials, messages, and workout groups, trust that you will reach peak serendipity levels while enjoying your stay. Check out our Liberty card to receive 15% off all spa services.
Though the weather is turning colder, that doesn’t mean it's time for us all to hibernate; there is always lots to do all around the Hudson Valley year-round!
