Tullamama tip
Weekdays are significantly less crowded than Saturdays. If you can swing a Tuesday or Wednesday, you'll practically have the place to yourselves — and your kids won't wait in line for the slides.
Your admission wristband gets you access to everything below, all day. You can even leave and come back.
Most popular
Pumpkin Patch Hayride
Their most popular activity — a 45-minute hayride out to the pumpkin patch. Pumpkins sold separately ($5 flat rate, cards only in the field). Don't wait until end of day; last trip fills up fast.
Fan favorite
4.5-Acre Corn Maze
New themed design every year. On Friday and Saturday nights, grab a glow stick ($1) and do it in the dark. Allow about 30 minutes.
Pig Races
Pick your pig and cheer them to the finish line. About 10 minutes. Check schedule below for race times.
The Landslide
150-foot slide down one of the steepest hills on the farm. Plus a 40-foot tunnel slide (Hillside Slide) and the smaller Tire Mountain slide for littles.
Hilltop Hopper + Jump Pad
Large open-air bouncing pillow plus a separate colorful Jump Pad for smaller kids.
Bubble Hut, Duck Races, Trike Track, Tire Swings, Storybook Trail & Corn Boxes
Storybook Trail is great for younger kids — short, sweet, and you can't get lost. The corn boxes under the big red pavilion are a huge hit with toddlers.
Farmyard Fairways
9-hole mini golf course right on the farm.
Country Express
Barrel train ride with dad jokes included. All ages.
Animal Corral
Visit calves, pigs, goats, sheep, and chickens. Feed bags $1 at the ticket booth or market.

Tullamama tip
Plan your day around the hayride and pig race schedule, then fill in the rest. If you're coming on a Saturday, do the hayride first thing at 10:30 — by afternoon, the wait gets long.
Come hungry. Seriously. The food is half the experience.
Must-try
Apple Cider Donuts
Made from scratch, fried on site daily, rolled in cinnamon sugar. Get these first.
Must-try
Apple Cider Slushy
Perfect on a warm fall afternoon. A close second to the donuts.
Chicken Tenders & Ribbon Fries
Lightly seasoned, great with dipping sauces. The go-to lunch.
Caramel Apples
Sometimes dipped in their homemade fudge.
Kettle Corn & Cotton Candy
Kettle corn and apple butter made on site. Take some home.
Homemade Fudge
Made on the farm. Grandma's recipe energy.
Tullamama tip
You can pack a lunch (no coolers, grills, or glass). But honestly? Budget for the food. The apple cider donuts alone are worth the trip.
The Fall Market in the Big Red Barn is free to browse — no admission needed. Seasonal goodies, treats to take home (kettle corn, apple butter, fudge), and the kind of fall decor you didn't know you needed. Staff will load your car if you go overboard.
New this year
Christmas on the Farm
For the first time ever, Grandaddy's Farm is opening for a Christmas season — November 28 through December 26. Details are still coming, but the season pass covers both fall AND Christmas. That alone makes the pass worth it.
Parking is free. Plenty of room for cars, RVs, and buses.
Cards preferred. Debit/credit accepted everywhere. Cash also accepted. No personal checks.
No pets. Service animals welcome, but leave the family dog at home.
No smoking anywhere on the farm.
Pumpkins sold separately in the field — cards only (cash can be loaded onto a gift card at the market). $5 flat rate.
Baby changing stations in men's and women's restrooms.
Wristband is good all day. Go to your car and come back — no re-buying.
Water bottles are fine. No coolers, grills, or glass containers.
Bought online for the wrong day? Reschedule through your receipt link.
Ready to Go?
Buy online to save, or grab a season pass for unlimited fall + Christmas visits.
We've been going to Grandaddy's Farm every fall for years. The apple cider donuts are non-negotiable, the pig races make my kids lose their minds, and the season pass is genuinely the best value in the Tullahoma area if you go more than twice. And now they're doing Christmas? We'll see you there.
