One of the best things about the Fall in Memphis is that we get a reprieve from the sweltering heat of summer, and that makes it perfect for getting outside and enjoying some Fall activities. Halloween weekend is here; and that means there is Fall fun to be had! Here are all the best places to find your Autumn adventures in and around Memphis.
The Mid-South Corn Maze
Location: 7777 Walnut Grove Road

The Mid-South Corn Maze at the Agricenter will be open from September 17th through October 31st.

Menagerie Farms joins in on the fun every Fall with activities for all ages as well. They are open for appointments and reservations, and are waiting to welcome you. Your group will have a blast with games in the old western town, gem mining, pony rides, paddleboats, train rides, and hay rides. But the fun doesn't stop there. Explore their pumpkin patch and petting zoo, take a barn tour, learn how to churn butter and grind corn, or compete in a milking race or fishing rodeo! When the sun goes down, sit around a bonfire in the crisp, cool, Fall air.
Cedar Hill Farm
Location: 8 Love Road in Hernando, MS

It's just a short drive from Memphis across the state line to Cedar Hill Farm.

With thousands of pumpkins and gourds in all sizes, shapes, and colors, straw, mums, and corn stalks for sale, they have everything you need to decorate for the Fall season. You'll want to stay all day once you get down there, so you have time to solve their corn maze, shop in their country store, or enjoy a farm-fresh dinner.
