Fall in Pleasant Prairie
The air becomes crisp, the leaves begin to change colors, and the sun begins to set earlier in the evening. Ahhh, there’s nothing like fall in Wisconsin. When the leaves begin to turn the perfect shade of red, yellow, or orange, and the pumpkins are ripe for the picking, that’s your cue to embrace everything fall with a visit to Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin.
Explore the Outdoors
Start your autumn adventure with a scenic walk through Prairie Springs Park. Far from ordinary, this park is the place to see fall foliage at its finest. Soak up the crisp autumn air as you traverse over 900 acres of parkland, including 2.3 miles of paved trails. To see the leaves at their best and brightest, be sure to visit during the last week of September until the third week of October.
Shop for the Season
Cooler weather calls for a new seasonally appropriate wardrobe. Stop by the Pleasant Prairie Premium Outlets for an autumn shopping spree. This outdoor mall features over 80 stores, including favorite brands like Adidas, Michael Kors, and Underarmour. You won’t believe the incredible deals, all up to 65% off! Nearby, the Shoppes at Prairie Ridge is another great shopping location that is home to department and specialty stores like Costco, Target, Dick's Sporting Goods, and more! Whether you are in the mood for some early holiday shopping or picking up essentials for yourself, Pleasant Prairie is the ideal shopping destination.
