Autumn brings changing colours and beautiful scenery, as well as opportunities to spend more time together as a family. Here are ten autumn adventures designed to help you do just that:

1. A family day at Alma Park, Gelsenkirchen: Alma Park offers family packages for shared experiences. Solve an escape room together or compete at laser tag and enjoy working as a team.

2. Carve pumpkins together: Choose your pumpkins as a family, then spend an afternoon carving them. Everyone can create a character of their own.

3. An autumn walk with a treasure hunt: Organise a treasure hunt in the woods. Hide little surprises for the children and adults to find.

4. Crafts at home: Spend a rainy autumn day making seasonal decorations or gifts for grandparents and friends together.

5. An apple cooking day: After a trip to an orchard, bake an apple cake, make apple sauce or try other delicious recipes together.

6. Stories around a campfire: Share family stories while toasting marshmallows, or make up a new story together.

7. Visit an autumn festival: Join in the family activities, games and workshops often held at local autumn festivals.

8. Make your own kites: Buy some kits and spend a day building kites, then take them out to fly together.

9. Watch wildlife as a family: Head out to observe animals in their natural habitats. It is a great opportunity for children to learn, too.

10. Cook together: Let each family member choose an autumn dish, then prepare a feast together.
