Bidding farewell to Chicago summer is bittersweet—golden sunshine yields to chill breezes, iced lattes will soon be dosed with pumpkin spice, and the days grow shorter and shorter. That said, fall in Chicago arrives with its own particular type of magic. Spend the season's early days strolling around apple orchards in the suburbs; then, as temps begin to drop and fall foliage bursts with golden splendor, head out to pumpkin patches and corn mazes for warm apple cider and cinnamon-dusted doughnuts. And as Halloween in Chicago draws nearer, go thrill-seeking at haunted houses and spooky pop-ups scattered throughout the city. It won't be long before we're huddled inside for winter, so get out and enjoy the city with the best things to do in the fall in Chicago.
