As the seasons change and the autumn months approach, this time of year is perfect for enjoying the outdoors and taking in all the beauty that autumn has to offer.
There are lots of activities to enjoy during autumn, such as going for a hike, enjoying a hot drink outdoors, or simply taking a walk in the park.
Before the real cold weather arrives, take advantage of the great outdoors by doing the ultimate outdoor activity: a hot air balloon flight.
If you're looking for the top fun things to do with your family this October, we've got the answers here.

A hot air balloon flight:
Autumn is an amazing time to take a hot air balloon flight. Not only can you see the trees change colour from above, but it is a great way to spend time with the whole family before it gets too cold!
A balloon flight is perfect for Christmas present ideas and is the perfect gift to show someone not only the world but also how much you care.
There's something about being up in the sky, surrounded by the vibrant colours of autumn foliage, that makes the adventure a truly magical and memorable experience.
We might have a slight bias towards the trees turning red as it matches our beautiful red balloons!
After your flight, enjoy a post-landing toast at the landing site with a choice between prosecco or orange juice.
Hot air balloons have the best view of this season change, so get ready to take off into this beautiful season.
