If you’re staying in town for Fall Break, you *might* be looking for fun outside your homestead at some point during the week. Likewise, you probably want to find activities that won’t bust the bank. Just in case, we’ve put together several great options for $5 or less!
Fall Foliage Adventure
Ride through Lake Guntersville State Park to see all the beautiful fall foliage!
Slide into the Fun
Check out our Parks and Playgrounds Guide for deets on local parks and playgrounds!
Take a Hike
With the temperatures cooler (hopefully!) and nature showing off those beautiful autumn colors, it’s a great time to get outside! We’ve got a list of great hiking and walking trails just waiting for you to come and enjoy!
Loiter at the Library
Seriously. The librarians love it! They WANT you to come hang out in the air-conditioning, reading books and participating in all the great programs they host. There are storytimes, animal shows, puppets, live music, crafts and SO much more!
Step Back into Time
Guntersville Museum and Cultural Center and the Albertville Museum are great ways to explore local history! (Especially if the temperature outside still feels more summery!)
Pet All the Animals at the Zoo
Got your attention with that headline, huh? Check out the Rock Zoo, the roadside “zoo” features dozens of animals painted on boulders that kids can touch. The Rock Zoo started back in the 70s and still just as charming. Guaranteed to put a smile on your kiddo’s face. (and yours too!)
Treat Yo Self
Make your fall break a little sweeter with an ice cream or old-timey soda at Payne’s Sandwich Shop and Soda Fountain. It’s one of Alabama’s last remaining soda fountains and is believed to be the oldest business in the entire state.
