Summer is over, but do not be discouraged and fall into seal mode until spring, having fun only with food and sleep. We have prepared a list of activities that will make autumn the best time of the year.

1. Go to an amusement park

On a warm and sunny day, take a thermos of tea and go for a ride on the carousel. The Ferris wheel is a must-see item on the program. Golden foliage, an autumnal transparent sky - you will see such beauty only once a year. An interesting fact: the tallest Ferris wheel in Russia is located in Sochi. The height of the attraction, installed in the Lazarevsky Park of Culture and Leisure, is 83.5 meters. In general, if you are going to Sochi, you know what to do with yourself.

2. Find out where the best mulled wine in town is made

Or coffee, tea, hot chocolate - whichever you like best. You can devote a separate day to this, or stretch the pleasure for a week, whiling away the evening with a glass of your favorite drink. And, of course, carrot cake is probably the most autumnal dessert in the world. Otkritie Bank's "Entertainment Card" will help you get cashback for every visit to cafes, bars and restaurants. Pay her, and then up to 10% of the money spent will be returned to your account.

3. Attend the opening of the theatrical season

If you haven't been to the theater for a long time, the premiere of the play is a great reason to finally do it. For example, on October 16, the Taganka Theater will host the first show of the rock-n-drama "Viy" - a mix of Nikolai Gogol's original work, Nina Sadur's play "Pannochka" and lyrics by Venya D'rkin. You can combine a trip to the temple of culture with the previous point and end the evening with a gathering in a cafe. By the way, the “Entertainment Card” applies to the purchase of theater tickets and a visit to a cafe, so the evening will delight you not only with pleasant impressions, but also with cashback.

4. Organize a house party

Of course, thematic. For example, a gastronomic fun for burger lovers or a harvest festival with food exclusively from seasonal products. Another option is homemade Oktoberfest with homemade snacks. Practice shows that for such events, food is best suited that can be dealt with without cutlery: spicy cheese biscuits, salted pretzels and pies with various fillings.

5. Gather friends for the bowling championship

To organize a meeting of old comrades in the summer is from the realm of fantasy: everyone has vacations and trips. But in the fall, this can be easily done, especially when it comes to something fun. Bowling is not a bad idea, especially since according to the "Entertainment Card" you are entitled to cashback for this.

6. Disassemble summer photos

Pick the best ones, print out and make an album that will remind you of how cool this summer was. Imagination in the design of the album is only welcome: train or museum tickets, drawings and short stories about what is happening in the photo will turn a selection of photos into a fascinating story. In the fall and winter, such memories are worth their weight in gold. Idea for next summer: take a photo every day, and you will end up with a good selection - three months of warmth and sun in pictures.

7. Decorate the house

You can get down to business on a grand scale and put together an entire collection of home textiles - from curtains to towels - in fall colors or with themed prints and patterns. If there is no time for such large-scale changes, collect a bouquet of yellow leaves in the nearest park, add a couple of rowan branches to them - you get an uncomplicated, but cute composition. In her vase and on the table - that's the autumn mood. Using double-sided tape, stick the leaves on the windows - there will be home leaf fall. Or decorate simple white candles with colorful leaves, there are generally five minutes to do.

8. Find a new favorite game

When it's cold, raining and generally disgusting outside, spending the whole day playing computer games is the sweetest thing. Battlefield 1 is coming out soon, for example, so what to do on the weekend is a matter of course. And again, a surprise from Otkritie Bank: purchases on Steam, Origin, PlayStation Store and Xbox Live will end up being cheaper if you pay with the Entertainment Card. Need some other excuse to buy the game you've been dreaming about for so long?

9. Go hiking

In winter, you can't get out into the forest so easily, so you need to make the most of the chance that the warm autumn gives. Just take blankets and sweaters with you so that the cool night does not spoil the impression of the forest weekend. What can I say, a hike is always a great idea: a fire, a guitar, tea in a pot … If spending the night in the autumn forest does not appeal to you, go for a picnic at least.

10. Master a new craft

There are many activities that do not require large expenditures on consumables: soap making, knitting, making chocolate and bath bombs … You can try casting candles. To do this, you will need beeswax, a wick and a mold for the future candle, essential oils and fragrances - if desired. If you get your hands on this, the issue of gifts to family and friends will be resolved by the New Year.

11. Bury the treasure

Great fun for kids. Let the child collect little things that remind him of the past summer: multi-colored glass, small toys, and the like. Put it all in a sturdier box (alternatively, in a cookie or chip jar), close it, wrap it in several layers with cling film and bury it in a nearby park. Draw a map so you don't forget this place, and go treasure hunting in the spring.

12. Arrange a movie marathon

Cinema is perhaps the best entertainment at any time of the year. If the weather doesn't whisper, have a movie show at home. What you need: two or three good movies and lots of delicious food. As for food, we will leave everything to your discretion, and with films, Amediateka, IVI and Okko will help out - "Entertainment Map" will help to return a part of the cost of each purchase.

Fall is fun if you have a few fun ideas in stock. Tell us, how do you prefer to deal with the autumn melancholy?
