Say Cheese: Champaign-Urbana Area Sites to Take Cute Fall-Themed Pics

September 26, 2021 By From The Editors

Is there anything cuter than kids sitting among pumpkins, atop a hay bale or in front of a giant wall of mums? We think not, which is why we love these fall photo backdrops near Champaign-Urbana

Champaign-Urbana area fall favorites make snapping that perfect family pic easy-peasy. You can just put your kids in the picture, of course, but throwing a tripod in the car so you can all get in, is an option, too. (As is finding another family who might want their whole picture snapped, too, and offering to take them for one another. Don’t be shy, Champaign-Urbana parents. Go ahead and meet one another!)

Lake of the Woods Fall Display
Take your family’s fall-themed photos at locations like the Botanical Gardens at Lake of the Woods in Mahomet. Chambanamoms.com photo

Some of these will be closer to C-U than others, and some require admission to an attraction to see the display. We will try to point that out in all instances we know of so you are prepared before your visit.

Enjoy capturing those sweet fall moments with your children in the coming weeks and months. It is a beautiful time of year and we can’t wait to enjoy it as a community!
