OCALA, FL (352today.com) – North Central Florida has been experiencing cooler temperatures the past few days. The big question is how long it will continue.

Historically, the first real taste of fall air usually arrives by mid-October, with temperatures dipping into the 50s inland and below 60 degrees along the coast, according to the National Weather Service.  We’ve been enjoying some of those temperatures post-Hurricane Milton.

Experience the autumn season with various outdoor fun like corn mazes, fall festivals, spooky stories, pumpkin patches, and carnivals.
