Cheekwood turns over to fall for six weeks\, and it is the rare seasonal attraction that works for a toddler and a middle schooler on the same afternoon. Marigold River and Pumpkin Village put three walk-in pumpkin houses and thousands of pumpkins along the garden paths\, and the Scarecrow Trail adds 15 storybook-inspired builds from local artists and organizations.
\nWhen: Saturday\, September 19 through Sunday\, November 1\, 2026
\nWhere: Cheekwood\, Nashville
Admission: roughly $21–$27 adults\, $19–$25 seniors and $14–$22 for ages 3–17 depending on the day and whether mansion access is included. Ages 2 and under are free\, members are free. Budget a $2 per-ticket service fee and $5 parking if you are not a member.
\nTwo things worth planning around: TOTS! runs Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon with hands-on activities\, story times and the Turtle Talks that little kids ask about all year. Live bands play Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 2 p.m.

Mapp Aviary Education Center opens its doors on Saturday mornings\, and it is one of the best free hours in Nashville for a kid who likes animals. A 550-foot boardwalk runs past the resident birds of prey — hawks\, owls\, and the rest of the permanent residents — close enough to see the detail in a feather. \nThe tour is self-guided\, so you set the pace. Small children who lose patience with a guided program do fine here because you can linger at one enclosure and skip the next. \nWhen: Saturday\, September 19\, 2026\, 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.\nWhere: Radnor Lake State Park\, 1160 Otter Creek Road\, Nashville\nCost: Free \nOne thing to plan for: the aviary sits about three-quarters of a mile uphill from the parking area\, and that walk is the real cost of admission. Strollers are a struggle on it. Bring water\, wear shoes you can climb in\, and give yourself more time than the distance suggests.
