Find Fall Family Fun at Keller’s Corny Country Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze 8 miles west of Dickson in Tennessee City. When you come, plan on staying for an afternoon of activities and adventure because this isn’t just a simple stroll through a pumpkin patch.
Recently this amusement was voted ‘Best Agritourism’ operation in Dickson County by the UT Extension Agency, after only one year in operation! Brian and Tonya Keller started Keller’s Corny Country in October 2008 with the help of family and friends after years of hosting Harvest Festivals on their farm. A huge success from the start, cars lined up at the gate every Saturday in October once the signs went up announcing that Keller’s Corny Country was open for business.
Corny Country offers rides on the Niblett Express Barrel Train as well as Hay Rides that will take you to ( and from ) the pumpkin patch and the Corn Mazes. Don’t worry, there is a fenced in Jr. Corn Maze for small children or people who are afraid they may get lost in the 5 acre Corn Maze!
Children will find hours of fun in the playground area– they may slide into the Corn Crib landing in a sea of corn for their scooping and pouring enjoyment ( you might want to check their pockets and overalls as they exit as they may be full of corn!) , play in the sand boxes and whoop down The Corn Cob Pipe- a 40’ monster slide -that is also fun for adults! And for the country in all of us, who wouldn’t have tons of fun in the Tractor Tire Playground?
Don’t worry if all this activity makes you hungry, there is plenty of good eating at the Corncession stand! Something mom’s seem to like is the clean-up station and the many bottles of hand sanitizers available for use. There are also plenty of places to stop and rest a spell. On the cooler days the campfire usually beckons folks to sit and visit.
One of the most enjoyable and memorable activities at Keller’s Corny Country is going to the 5 acre Pick-Your-Own- Pumpkin Patch to pick your own, exact-right, pumpkins ( don’t forget to have them weighed before you leave, that’ll be $.50 per pound-ma’m!) to carry home.
While there, be sure to stop by the Country Store to purchase a T-shirt, a souvenir or some homemade jams and jellies. There is a vast array of colorful mums and gourds available to purchase as well.
Be sure to bring your camera for the staged and un-staged photo ops, you will find pumpkins, cornstalks, hay bales and corn hats to enhance your Country photographs. You may want to return each year for your annual Fall Photos!
