Gentry's Farm is such a fun fall activity for the kids. We've visited a couple of times as a family and this year my daughter had a field trip here. All were great experiences. Parking is free in a grassy field. Depending on arrival time it may be a short walk to the entrance. They offer wagons to help get pumpkins to the car at the end. The field trip here exceeded my expectations. It was educational and fun for the kids. The kids arrived and had their sack lunches at the picnic tables. A farm guide led our group to the different areas. I loved that every area started as educational. It was the perfect amount of time to keep the interest of first graders. Then the kids would get to play and burn off energy for 10-15 minutes before the next section. We went on a wagon ride and the kids were able to pick pumpkins from a patch to take home. A highlight for my daughter was watching the cows eat pumpkins. I just loved how the farm structured the field trip. The farm is open to the public on weekends in September and October. Check their Instagram for the specific weekends and times. This is a family/kid centered fall activity. They have animals, mazes, playgrounds, and games spread out across the property. Come in walking shoes and spend a few hours playing with the kids. At the front of the property they have pumpkins of all sizes and colors. The pricing is reasonable on what they offer. A small concession stand offers water, soda, and packaged snacks. The only thing that would make the fall experience here more fun would be some fall foods. Maybe a collaboration or food trucks on site with donuts, coffee, or ciders. Admission is reasonably priced for all of the activities they offer. All activities offered are included in the admission fee. Seniors and kids under a certain age (I believe two years) are free. A trip to Gentry's Farm is a fall must do for our family. read more

Fun outdoor activities for the infant to maybe 7 year old age group. I had family in town and wanted somewhere to tire out a 2 and 5 year old for at least half a day, and this fit the bill. Nashville has an incredibly low number of toddler friendly half and full day activities, and this is one of the rare ones that is incredibly toddler friendly, but not super far away. There's kind of a weirdly high amount of religious messaging everywhere, which made us kind of uncomfortable but the actual farm was awesome for the kids, so a bit of a double-edged sword. Free parking, free entry for seniors and under 2, and $13 per person for everyone else, so this is also one of the cheaper options in the area for an outing with kids. Located a 10 min drive outside of downtown Franklin, we were impressed by how well curated the 400-acre farm is for kids. There are a selection of caged farm animals (pigs, rabbits, cows, chickens, turkey, and pigeons) for kids to view and you can also see other animals like goats lounging in other fenced areas of the farm, and we even saw a turtle in the pond! There's a 4-acre corn maze for families, and older kids, and a hay bale maze for toddlers that were both quite fun. Theres some educational and fun troughs set up for wheat and corn (almost like a craft playpen of sorts) and some outdoor games scattered throughout the area (go fish, cornhole, tic tac toe boards, etc.). There's a tractor ride (free with your admission) that we really loved which takes you through some scenic spots on the farm where we got to see baby cows and a few historic buildings on the farm, dating back to even the late 1800s. There is a putt putt area we didn't check out, but it's an astounding amount of activities that could easily fill a day. They sell pumpkins for $8, but no options to pick your own here. (The pumpkins they have already picked are extremely picturesque. There are snacks (popcorn, drinks, etc) for purchase but you can also bring your own food (which we did) and there are picnic tables where you can have lunch. One drawback: no real restrooms. There are two areas of porta potties and hand sanitizer everywhere. They are some of the cleaner porta potties I have ever been to, but are still kinda gross to me. Overall, we really liked this spot if you can tolerate the bathroom situation and all the religious stuff everywhere. Open Saturday, Sunday, and Monday (one of the only farms open on a Monday) primarily in September and October. Would do this again with my niece and nephew if they come next fall, but might get repetitive if you've been before recently. read more

Visited Gentry Farm for the Fall Activities and I was so happy we did! It is so much more than just a Pumpkin patch. Lots of fun and interesting things to do and see, spread over a large area (the corn maze alone is 4 acres!) Something for the younger and the older kids, probably best for 12 & under crowd. We rode the tractor ride and got to see all the cute little cows in the field. There are plenty of pumpkins but also just lots of fun things for kids to play with and explore. A great outing for the family! check the times and days to make sure they are open to the public on the day you want to go. Everyone who worked there was extremely friendly and helpful as well. read more

Gentry's Farm is ideal for the 1-12 crowd. Having come here among other places since my kids were old enough to be carried in a carseat it's been a great place to do a fun corn maze, see some animals, ride a hay ride, play some put put, and traverse a really low sorghum maze. Not a lot ever changes year to year here other than the path in the mazes. The tractor rides offer low-frills slow views of cows and occasionally an errant turtle. This year I realized my kids are getting a bit too big to be amused by some of the things here, but they still managed to have a great time playing with kid toys/playthings in an area where their peers are not, or are there playing with kid sized cabins/play areas. I mix this and Lucky Ladd and a couple of others in every year and hit a few with various kid families, so it's a nice staple read more

Visited Gentry's in the Fall during their Fall Festival! This place is so cute and is definitely worth the money! It's a great spot to bring kids as they have mazes, games, a hayride, and animals! They also sell pumpkins! I got all of my pumpkins from here this year. They were so cute! read more

This place was amazing! The kids had endless things to do and everyone is SO NICE!! I would highly recommend bringing your family here and be prepared to be here a while...and not because of long lines, but because your kid will not want to leave read more

We came here on Halloween to enjoy the gorgeous weather and partake in basic Fall activities. The price for entry is very cheap to other similar farms I have been to back home in Texas, so I was pleasantly surprised by that. The farm is also wonderfully decorated with fun details that really make you feel like you are immersed in Fall fun. Staff is friendly making sure everyone feels welcome and ready to enjoy their outing. Highlights include the pumpkin sale area (so many perfect pumpkins at a great price), the hay ride (tractor pull more correctly) that passes historic homes, and the corn maze. If you have kiddos with you (we didn't) there are a ton of activities in addition to those I listed before for them to enjoy - you can easily make a day of it! read more

Great place for a fall afternoon. Tractor rides, pumpkins, corn maze, animals, playgrounds, gardens, snacks. A little pricey but worth it if you plan to arrive early and spend several hours here. read more

A beautiful and AUTHENTIC farm experience for the whole family. This is not the farm themed carnival experience you often find at other farms. It is a working farm that offers a lot of old fashioned farm games and activities during October. If the carnival experience is what you are looking for then let me say it again, you will not find it here, so please don't visit and then be disappointed because you didn't read the reviews or read their website. read more

Gentry's Farm is such a fun place to explore in the Fall! They have pumpkins, of course, but they also have a corn maze, animals, and more. Plus, there are a lot of opportunities for fun Fall pictures! read more

Thank You Gentry's Family. Took my two year old today, and it was PERFECT!! Everyone was so friendly. We also went on the tractor ride, and saw a calf, that was a couple hours old. Would recommend to anyone!! Just an honest family, and we sure are glad for the Gentry family. read more

Gentry's Farm - Farms Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

PAY ATTENTION TO THEIR HOURS AND DAYS AND CLOSING PERIODS. Also, make a note, if you're coming for a seasonal item just like everyone else there's going to be a full parking lot and long lines and likely not much variety left for you to hand pick whatever you want for that specific season. Just know that going in and have a great time. Keep the expectations low and you'll be pleasantly surprised! One thing that is always consistent, AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE. Imo, I think each of the staff members really care and strive to be friendly and make it a great experience for everyone that comes!! Love that!! We have come for the past two years since moving here to the pumpkin patch, this year we were late to the game and they weren't still on the vines but instead they were in bins. It doesn't matter to us and is fun either way!! That just means we're in an out (after taking our pic by the wagon) faster than if we were going to pick it off the vine. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! read more

love Gentry's farm! very special to support a family farm. they have their pumpkin patch and activities set up very well. we go every year!

This is definitely not an experience worth it for adults if you don't live close. For kids, I'm sure it's great. My first gripe is just the lack of adult activities here as it is geared heavily towards kids. My second major gripe comes from the snack area. Coming to a farm, I expected to have some homemade, tasty snacks and food. We were next in line to order and were excited for some apple cider and cookies. The person in front of orders cider and we see the employee pouring it from a Kroger apple cider container. Seeing that we were just overpaying for grocery store cider, we only got cookies, which tasted exactly like store-bought cookies and were most definitely not homemade. I expected more, but would've been less unhappy if we didn't drive almost 40 minutes for it. read more

Farms, corn mazes and pumpkin patches, are synonymous with the Autumn holiday season. And Genrty's checks all three boxes. This family run farm is the perfect place to bring your family. There is a corn maze, pumpkins and gourds for purchase, tractor ride, animals to look at and a ton of games and activities for kids. There is even a little snack bar. So go, grab a hot cocoa and some popcorn and enjoy this lovely farm. My sister and I went, and spent a lovely 2 hours there. I thought it was worth the money, and we bought some amazing pumpkins. read more

Great place for a pumpkin selection or activities outside. Can't wait till they have trees that are more mature so we will be able to pick our own apples! read more

I'm a bit biased because we've been going to this place since soon after we moved to Nashville. But we have been to other pumpkin patches and I have to say, the extras for Gentry's make it worth the trip. As an FYI, your GPS is going to point you to the entrance to the residential part of the farm (which is closed to visitors), and what you want to do is enter slightly to the North of that. The first thing to know about Gentry's is that these guys have had this farm in the family since well into the 1800's. And to keep the farm viable, a number of years ago, they began hosting tours for schools and other groups and from there they began the whole pumpkin patch/fall fest thing. And as an FYI, you absolutely can just buy pumpkins without paying an admission fee. Yeah, they may be slightly more expensive than you can buy them in bulk at Costco, but we bought a trunkload of 'em for under $40, so I'd call that fair. This year (2013), there is also an area where you can roam a real pumpkin patch and pick-em yourself! One thing to note is that there is no way that you are going to get a wireless signal out here, and as a result, this really is a CASH ONLY place. You're going to a farm. Bring cash. They do take checks as well, but you're going to need some cash anyway to buy refreshments once you get inside. This year (2013) it was $7 a family member for everyone over the age of 2. Once you get admission, you'll have access to a number of activities, including a corn maze (which seems to get better every year), a hay ride (very safe), an indoor maze and a ton of playground space. Kids can also get up close and personal with a number of animals in a very controlled environment, including sheep, goats and chicken. There are some really neat hands-on discovery areas where kids can play with different kinds of grains, etc. And a bazillion different photo opportunities. This place is LOADED with history and architecture! Refreshments are run by a local church to help raise money for their youth programs, and it is generally all cheap - I think last year most items like popcorn, sodas and hot coffee/cocoa/cider were all a buck (did I mention bring cash?). Lastly, I don't think I've ever seen anyone working here not smiling. They've always been very very friendly and hospitable - I can't imagine anyone not getting taken care of here. A fall must-visit for your kids and for all of your pumpkin needs! read more

Gentry's Farm - Kids have gotten their pix here 5 years in a row! - Farms Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

This is a really nice pumpkin patch farm. They have a few animals to look at and the decoration is nice! To go inside and enjoy all the activities there is an $8 fee for ages 2 and up, excluding seniors. There are two maze corns, 1 for children and one for adults. They have a playground for kids with swings. They also have a train/wagon that takes you on a little trip around the farm. The only thing I can say I didn't like too much was that a lot of the kids stuff to play with was really dirty but that might not bother a lot of people. All in all, it's a nice place to visit. read more

My husband & I do not have kids so we don't get a lot kid type fun in unless we have family visiting. So, I'm not expert on kid activities but I can definitely say that my sister, brother-n-law, niece and my husband had a ball today at Gentry Farms!! We spent a full 2 hours there going through the corn maze, walking the natural trail, checking out the animals and playing the games set up through the barn & property. The property is laid out well. The parking lot may be full but it doesn't feel overly crowded. It's worth a visit. read more

We loved Gentry's Farm!! It was definitely the best bang for your buck pumpkin patch in the Nashville area. Since it's so spread out most of the areas were not crowded and you didn't have to wait a long time. I love that everything is included in the admission cost. Highly recommend! read more

Gentry's Farm does an excellent job of catering to their core customer base: families with young children. For an afternoon of early fall fun with a young family, there's not much they haven't thought of. We spent the better part of a Saturday early in the season on the farm - picking a variety of pumpkins straight from the patch ($3 each, no matter the size/color), selecting larger pumpkins from the pre-picked selection (between $6 - $12), spending so. much. time. in the mazes, taking a hayride tour of the property, and checking out the children's activities that our girls are either too old (12) or too young (8 months) to enjoy. The activity area has a $7 admission fee, with kids under 2 free. The photo opportunites are endless! A small selection of food is available at a concession stand, but your best bet is to pack lunch and enjoy it pond-side in the picnic area between the parking lot and the pre-picked pumpkins. After our first visit we collectively decided to start a new family tradition and make the trip to this Franklin farm annually. read more

Growing up in Dallas, there are not a ton of farms around to get the true kiddie experience during the holidays. Well thank god! Tennessee has a few farms around providing pick-your-own pumpkin patches :) Gentry's Farm is AWESOME! It's about 20-30 minutes from Nashville and the drive is gorgeous. If you want to pick your own pumpkin, there is a huge patch available to find your truly unique pumpkin for no more than $3 a pop. I picked out 2 medium sized pumpkins and walked away paying a whopping $2 for them total. Can't beat that! There are also tons of events available at Gentry's Farm for a $6 admission fee. They have a corn maze (super cute... the aerial view of it is a chicken... lol), hay ride, playground and play center, and tons your typical farm animals like goats and turkeys and chickens and cows that are fun to holler noises at in hopes of soliciting a reply :) If you love hearing goats goat at each other as much as I do, you'll love Gentry's Farm. read more

I went to my first corn maze this weekend at Gentry's Farm - four acres of corn! With your $6 admission, you can also walk around their farm and visit their sheep, goats, chickens, turkeys, and pigeons. Take a hayride through their fields and get a closer look at their cattle. Our driver pointed out a calf in the field that was born just two hours ago! There are lots of kid-oriented things to do here, but my friends and I still enjoyed ourselves sans children. You can pick your own pumpkins from their patch without paying for admission. Tip: Cash or check only! read more

I really REALLY wanted to love Gentry's Farm. There aren't many places to get that fall experience in Nashville. Unfortunately, I was a little disappointed. The pumpkin selection is a little lacking... and I'm kind of against paying $6 to take a hay ride and go through a corn maze. For a family, I would imagine that would add up pretty quickly. Add some apple cider and donuts for sale and I'll give it another try =) read more

I went here last year with boyfriend for a fun-filled afternoon of fall festivities! September through December is my favorite time of year, with scents of cinnamon, pumpkin, and crunchy bright leaves! Also, it means scarf and boot weather, and well, who doesn't appreciate that? I wasn't sure what to expect upon my arrival at Gentry Farms, but I was more than impressed with the set up. I saw everything from turkeys, to HUGE pumpkins, and llamas, etc. I was so excited and giddy! It kept a steady flow of movement throughout the farm so that everyone could see everything. And it was spacious enough to enjoy the smiling, high-energy kids from afar without hearing a lot of screaming. Sorry, but I'm just not there yet! And of course, the pumpkins! What a great set-up! They were all right up at the front, for those who just aren't into the outdoorsy activities. The selection of pumpkins was great, and we actually picked 3 pumpkins for our tiny apartment! I couldn't decide, and didn't want any lone pumpkins feeling left out! We had a great experience and got to reminisce about the events while carving our pumpkins and eating pumpkin chili and drinking pumpkin beer later that evening. I told you, I LOVE fall! My only gripe, which is no fault of their own, is that the corn maze was seriously lacking. Unfortunately, the heat from the summer had ruined the corn crop, and it was really just brown stalks that you could totally see through. No fun. I'm hoping this year's corn maze will be more impressive, so I can update my review and give this awesome location a big fat 5 star rating! read more

I'm twenty-seven years old, and I have never been to a pumpkin patch. that is until this weekend. My girlfriend and I made the drive from Nashville all the way down to Gentry's Farm, to pick out some pumpkins, for jack-o-lantern carving. Be warned, there are a lot of kids running around, with lots of oblivious parents not watching them. We didn't let bad parenting ruin our experience. We paid $6 to get into the activity area. Where they had hay rides, a corn maze, animals, barns, and lot of other cool things. Let me tell you, the corn maze is crap. Everything is dead, so its not that hard to find your way to the end. They blamed the destruction on a hurricane. When was the last time a hurricane can through these parts? I really enjoyed just sitting around playing checkers, even though I lost. We had a great time down on the farm, and left with five nice pumpkins. read more

Gentry's Farm - Swings, slides, and poultry. - Farms Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

Gentry Farms is a great spot for the family. The "mini" corn maze for the little ones was a hit as well as the chickens and goat areas. the hayride offers a view of the 4 historic homes located on the farm. Pumpkins are available for sale...$10 for large, $5 for medium and $2 for small. Entrance fee: $6 for adults (can't remember how much for kids), free for kids 2yrs and under. Definitely get there early...it gets busier throughout the day. read more

Really disappointed in our visit. My boyfriend and I drove 35+ minutes down from Nashville solely to pick out our own pumpkins from their patch. We decided to pay the admission fee to see the farm, but it turns out it's only really for kids and families -- not much for adults to do. The "hay ride" (there was no hay?) was just a loop around the cows and the maze was just a 5 minute walk through some corn. Perhaps I'm just an old 26-year old grump. We wanted to get our pumpkins on our way out, but every. single. pumpkin. in the patch was either rotted or in pieces. They only had decent ones in a display area where they were selling them for $$$. Kind of took the fun out of picking your own pumpkin. read more

The staff was really kind but I was kind of disappointed. There wasn't anything for us to do. It would've been fun if we had kids, but we don't...so it was moreso just really annoying. There weren't any activities like I had imagined. The corn maze was a bust and the hay ride had a really long line. I was sad to not find any sheep or cows. It's a really cute farm with rustic and biblical décor, but we just felt like we wasted money and time driving all the way down here...and were in and out in like 20 minutes. :( Also it's cash only so stop and get cash. read more

It's October! Time for fall festivities! Went with a few friends to check out this farm. It was very clean and well organized. The workers were very friendly. They had a little stand with soda, water, and snacks. However, if you don't have children, there isn't a whole lot to do. There are a few farm animals when you first enter. The norm, goats, sheep, chickens, cows. Right when you walk in there is a corn maze. Took us about 10 minutes to do. It was nice and not as easy as I thought. There was one more small field maze and a nice trail. After the trail you can hop on a hay ride (but there is no actual hay). The tractor brings you around a nice plantation. It was a pretty area. After the ride, there are a few games and areas for children to play. You can also go to the pumpkin patch and pick out your pumpkin for $5. Oh and admission was $7. Overall, great place for the family, but maybe not so entertaining for those without children. read more
