Fall in Memphis hits different. Between the corn mazes, the glowing zoo nights, and a pumpkin house built from more than 1,200 pumpkins and gourds, October here is a full season of things to do.

Before You Go
Dress in layers and bring water, since fall afternoons can still run warm. Wear closed-toe shoes because fields and mazes can be dusty, muddy, or uneven.
Admission does not always include a pumpkin, and food and extras often cost more. Buy popular tickets like Zoo Boo and haunted nights online ahead of time, and check the farm’s website or social page the day you go, especially after heavy rain.
