From the Jack O’Lantern Walk to the Haunted Hidden Treasure Escape Room, Gaylord Opryland offers fun for all ages during their seasonal Goblins & Giggles activities. The best part about Opryland is that you don’t have to book a room to enjoy all there is to love about the hotel. Kids of all ages will enjoy participating in the Hide and Seek Scavenger Hunt & Frightfully Fun Zone. On Friday & Saturday nights, they also host a Trick or Treat Expedition throughout the gardens to collect some sweet treats. This event is a must-do for families!

Wilson Family Farm

September 24 – October 30

You don’t want to miss family fun at the picturesque Wilson Family Farm in College Grove. Their 1902 farmhouse and event barn are the perfect backdrops for a day of autumnal bliss. You will get the opportunity to visit their pumpkin patch, go on a hayride, and even launch a pumpkin out of their pumpkin cannon! Disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the city and escape to a simpler time where you can enjoy some fresh kettle corn and frolic through the sunflower field.

Of course, the list could go on when it comes to fun fall things to do in Nashville, but these hot spots are a great place to start the fall season!
