Fun activities for Animal Crossing: New Horizons players to try

5) Fishing

Fishing is pretty much a universally fun activity to do across gaming. Tons of games have a fishing feature, and it's a fun activity in nearly all of them. That includes Animal Crossing: New Horizons, where fish spawn in different months, and many of them can be pretty lucrative.


4) Craft with villagers

Crafting on its own is a pretty fun activity to do. It allows players to get new items and use up some of their inventory of crafting materials. Selling the items after can also fetch a pretty penny (or bell). Crafting with a villager is more fun because there's a good chance to learn a brand new DIY recipe.


3) Deep sea diving

Deep sea diving is similar to fishing, but it's more fun. Gamers can collect or sell what they catch, but they can swim simultaneously, and diving down is much more fun than standing on shore with a fishing rod. Deep sea creatures are also much more unique.


2) Kapp'n's boat rides

Kapp'n's boat rides are enjoyable. They are a lot more enjoyable if New Horizons players get to go to a good island, but they're still fun regardless. Even a poor island is still something new to explore and collect items from, and the unknown makes for an intriguing experience.


1) Visit Harv's Island

All in all, visiting Harv's Island is the most fun thing to do in Animal Crossing. There's plenty to do there, such as:

  • Get a new hairstyle
  • Buy new shoes
  • Get gardening tools or services
  • Get a daily fortune
  • Visit Tortimer

Players will never run out of things to do there.
