There’s something about stepping onto a farm in the fall that just feels right. The hay crunches under your shoes, the smell of kettle corn drifts through the air, and pumpkins seem to be waiting around every corner. Nashville and the surrounding towns make it easy to fill your weekends with fall fun, and we’ve rounded up some of the best pumpkin patches to check out this season. Grab a sweater, bring a little patience for the corn maze, and let’s take a tour through the patches that make autumn in Tennessee extra magical.
Cheekwood Harvest
Nashville, TN
Dates: September 13 – October 30, 2025
Cheekwood turns into a fall wonderland with its Pumpkin Village, blooming mums, and thousands of pumpkins decorating the gardens. Kids love wandering through the scarecrow trail while adults can settle in at the beer garden or stick around for Harvest Nights, which bring live music, food trucks, and theme nights like Oktoberfest and salsa dancing. Admission starts at $21 for adults and goes down for kids, students, and seniors. If you’re looking for a pumpkin patch that doubles as an artful stroll through one of Nashville’s prettiest gardens, this is your stop.
Lucky Ladd Farms
Eagleville, TN (50 minutes from Nashville)
Dates: September 20 – October 31, 2025
Voted Tennessee’s #1 Pumpkin Patch, Lucky Ladd Farms is basically a fall theme park on a farm. Expect acres of pumpkins, an award-winning corn maze, a petting zoo, pony rides, and apple cider donuts that will ruin you for store-bought ones forever. Admission runs $12–$32 depending on your ticket type, and early season tickets sometimes come with a free sugar pie pumpkin. Once you make the drive here, you’ll get to spend the whole day exploring the farm!
Nashville Fall Festival
Nashville, TN
Dates: September 26 – November 1, 2025
The Nashville Fall Festival is part pumpkin patch, part seasonal playground. A corn maze sprawls across the fields, hayrides roll by the river, and some weekends even feature hot air balloon and helicopter rides. General admission is $21.72 for adults and includes a pumpkin to take home—so you won’t leave empty-handed. Kids’ tickets are $11.37, and little ones 6 and under get in free. Between the Pumpkin Forest photo spot and the food trucks, this one’s easy to make into a full day.
Nashville Pumpkin Co.
Nashville, TN
Dates: Open September – October, 2025
With two locations in the city, one in 12th Ave South and their new location in East Nashville, Nashville Pumpkin Co. is where you’ll find pumpkins in every size, along with heirloom varieties, colorful mums, and gourds for decorating. It’s open daily, though hours vary by day, so be sure to check their website before you go. Think of it as Nashville’s one-stop pumpkin shop—quick, simple, and always stocked.
Gentry Farm
Franklin, TN (30 minutes from Nashville)
Dates: September 27 – October 27, 2025
Gentry Farm keeps things classic with corn mazes, wagon rides, farm animals, and old-school games like tire swings and putt-putt. Admission is $13, and everything inside the farm is included in the ticket price. Guests 23 months and under, as well as those 65 and older, get in free. Families love it for the hands-on fun, and the farm has been a local favorite for decades. If you’re looking for tradition, this is the kind of place that feels timeless.
Honeysuckle Hill Farm
Springfield, TN (35 minutes from Nashville)
Dates: September 27 – November 1, 2025
Honeysuckle Hill is one of those farms that packs a little bit of everything—corn mazes, pig races, bonfires, and even singing chickens (yes, really). At night, the farm lights up with fireworks and a Pumpkin Express train ride that’s pure fall magic. General admission ranges between $19.95–$24.95, with kids 2 and under free. If you want a mix of daytime farm fun and nighttime festivities, Honeysuckle Hill is worth the quick drive out of the city.
Shuckle’s Corn Maze & Pumpkin Patch
Greenbrier, TN (30 minutes from Nashville)
Dates: September 27 – November 1, 2025
Shuckle’s is all about energy—magic shows, pumpkin bowling, hayrides, and an eight-acre corn maze that’s equal parts tricky and entertaining. Tickets must be bought online, and general admission includes most activities, with extras available through “Shuckle Bucks,” which come in packs ranging from $5 to $30 each—each pack covers a different set of attractions, so you can pick what fits your day best. Don’t miss Pumpkin Town, where you can paint your pumpkin for free after picking it out. It’s the kind of place where kids run wild and adults end up having just as much fun.
Flying Ghost Pumpkin Patch
Nashville, TN
Dates TBA – check social media for updates
If you want pumpkins without leaving the city, Flying Ghost is your spot. This pop-up patch is dog-friendly, free to enter, and packed with pumpkins, mums, and photo ops. It’s smaller than the big farm festivals but wins on convenience—swing by after work, snap some pics, and head home with your new front-porch pumpkin. Sometimes less is more, especially when traffic isn’t involved.
