Although it may seem as if school has barely started, it’s time to start planning your Fall Break getaway to Cape Cod, and believe us, you’ll be ready for it once that time gets here! The beginning of the school year is often the most difficult part of the year as we get back into the routines we let go slack over the summer—early wake-ups, school meetings, after school activities—it’s tiring just writing about it, let alone living it! Knowing you have a break from the pressure and stress, however, makes it bearable, and when you follow our guide to a family Cape Cod vacation this fall, your return to the real world after will be much easier to handle!

Yarmouth Seaside Festival, October 12-14

When an event has been going on for over 40 years, you know it must be doing something right, and the Yarmouth Seaside Festival is a prime example! Offering loads of exciting activities geared towards families, the festival allows guests to feel a part of the Cape Cod community as they take part in boat races and sandcastle contests. Also featuring kids’ activities, delicious foods, and a bonfire on the beach, your weekend on the Cape keeps getting better!

Cranberry Bog Tours

Fall is such a beautiful time on Cape Cod and getting outside to enjoy it will be the best part of your Massachusetts getaway—especially when you take part in a Cranberry Bog Tour in Harwich! In our experience, children love to learn how things are built or grown; seeing the process from seed to harvest gives them an exciting insight to the world and the farm store allows you to continue their education with a taste of the sweet stuff! The jams, honeys, and soaps (yes, we said soaps!) offered are the perfect finishing touch to your tour! Make your reservations today on their website.

The Atwood Museum

Children and museums aren’t always the best pairing, but a visit to the Atwood Museum in Chatham is one everyone will enjoy! Offering a peek into the past that will fascinate the adults and the opportunity to play with paper dolls, make music from bells, and win a prize in a scavenger hunt for kids, Atwood is the perfect spot to kill a few hours on a chilly or rainy fall day!

Bringing Families Together

When the sun begins its final descent for the day, coming home to our New England Vacation Rentals fall escapes ensures that the good times will continue. Reserve your stay with us today and enjoy a wonderful family Cape Cod vacation for fall!
