There is no better way to spend an October day than exploring hayrides, corn mazes, and pumpkin patches. Here are nine places in Middle Tennessee offering hayrides, pumpkin patches and corn mazes to get everyone in the Fall spirit. Pun intended.
Some of these farms offer full-day adventures with games, food, and seasonal entertainment, while others sell pumpkins, fall flowers, and décor. Many of these places also provide festive displays for family photo ops.
