Middle Tennessee
Cheekwood Harvest
Pumpkins, a marigold river, and garden paths at the Belle Meade estate through the first of November.
Cheekwood turns the gardens into a fall walk: more than 100,000 pumpkins, seasonal blooms, a scarecrow trail, and Harvest Nights on selected evenings. Daytime hours are the better fit for younger children. The calendar marks opening weekend energy by listing the title on weekends; the estate is open on other days in the run — check the daily schedule.
With children
Hills and gravel paths. Strollers are fine on the main garden routes. Tickets are timed in peak October weekends.
