$5 Fall Fun

Posted on September 24, 2015

A fall getaway doesn't have to be expensive! There are plenty of ways to make memories in Santa Claus, Indiana, and sites throughout Lincoln's Indiana Boyhood Home without busting your budget.

Check out these fall activities for $5 (or less!):

Stroll through Lincoln Pioneer Village & Museum and view interesting artifacts from Abe Lincoln’s past. As you venture outdoors, walk through cabins that represent the time our nation’s 16^th president spent in Spencer County. ($5 Adults/$3 Kids 12 and under)  Hooves trotting, colorful leaves falling, and big smiles that never disappear are definitely expected as your child rides with Foxy the pony at Santa’s Stables. ($5 per ride) Admire falling leaves from high above trees as you take a leisurely walk through Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial’s serene trails. (Free) Indulge in at least one of Santa’s Candy Castle’s gourmet popcorn flavors such as kettle corn or caramel apple. (Less than $5 for ½ lb. bag) Enjoy a complimentary wine tasting at local wineries, Pepper's Ridge Winery and Monkey Hollow Winery & Distillery, and stay for a glass of wine on the porch in the crisp fall air. (Wine tasting is free, glasses of wine start at $5) Stop by Kid's Days at Pumpkins and More Farm Market Sundays, September 30, 2018 - October 28, 2018, for pumpkin painting, pumpkin bowling, hayrides, games, and much more! (All activities at Kid's Days are free.) Christmas is just around the corner, let the kids write a letter to Santa now at the Santa Claus Museum & Village, and they will receive a reply in December! (Letter writing is free, donations are accepted.)  Many local events are free to attend. And, speaking of saving money, check out these travel deals.
