Weekday Picks for Connecticut Kids: Pumpkins, Corn Mazes, and Video Game Bus, September 28-October 2

9/27/15 - By Jacqueline Miller

It's hard to believe that October arrives this week! Fall is a super busy (and super fun) time in New England. There are only so many Saturdays and Sundays to go around so today we're highlighting a few popular weekend outings that also happen to be open during the week, such as the Lyman Orchards Corn Maze and Pumpkintown, a non-scary Halloween experience that will delight particularly younger children. You can find lots of other ideas in our jam-packed Event Calendar and our Halloween and Fall Fun Guide. Enjoy your week!
