There's something sweet and nostalgic about an autumn hayride, wouldn't you say? The crisp edge to the air, beautiful foliage and delicious smell of something sugary in the air. Add the crunch of a few haybales and you've got yourself a dreamy experience straight out of Hollywood. We found seven hayrides right around Nashville that are great for your kids or a fun date out and about in the cooling air. Have fun!
