Super Fun Things You Can Do At Fort Campbell This Holiday Season

December 14, 2017 by Julie

Super Fun Things You Can Do At Fort Campbell This Holiday SeasonSuper Fun Things You Can Do At Fort Campbell This Holiday Season

We have been in the Fort Campbell area for almost eight years now. While we have been here so long because my husband is in the National Guard now, others tend to stick around for a while too. Over the years I have been able to see how this area has grown and every year they seem to add something new.

This winter there have been quite a few things we have done in the area or want to do. So whether you are already here or planning to PCS to Fort Campbell soon, here are some super fun things you can do at Fort Campbell this holiday season.

Go ice skating in downtown Clarksville

There is a brand new ice skating rink in Downtown Clarksville. For $10 a person, you can rent some skates and be on the ice for an hour and 15 minutes. They play Christmas music, and you can kinda believe you are in your own Christmas movie. Here is the holiday schedule and more information.

See the lighted path at Christmas on the Cumberland

If you and your family like lights, Christmas on the Cumberland is a treat. You will be able to walk along the riverfront and check out the displays with one million lights. The display will be up until January 3rd. Here is more information about Christmas on the Cumberland.

See the lights at the Speedway

At the Speedway, you can drive the mile course and see one million lights from the comfort of your car. Cost is $25 per carload, and the lights will be up through New Year’s Day. Here is more information about this display.

Visit ICE in Nashville

Just about an hour away you can visit Nashville and see what they have to offer for the holidays. One popular event is ICE featuring a Charlie Brown Christmas at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center. You can save 20% on tickets by using promo code HERO when booking online for ICE as well as for Cirque Dreams Holidaze and the Diamond Rio Holiday & Hits Dinner Show. ICE is a walkthrough holiday attraction kept at 9 degrees with two million pounds of colorful ice sculptures and four two-story tall ice slides.

Super Fun Things You Can Do At Fort Campbell This Holiday SeasonVisit Santa at the PX

Santa will be at the PX mall until December 23rd. You can get your picture taken, and I have found that overall the wait is less than if you go to the mall in Clarksville. You can also head to Nashville and go to Bass Pro Shops to get a free photo with Santa although there always seems to be a long wait for that one.

What are your favorite things to around Fort Campbell during the winter? Any hidden gems?

Why You Should Go To Honeysuckle Hill Farm If You Are Stationed At Fort Campbell

September 27, 2017 by Julie

Honeysuckle hill farm

Our family was given free passes for the day in exchange for this review!

Honeysuckle Hill Farm

Are you at Fort Campbell too? If so, you are in for a treat. Have you heard of Honeysuckle Hill Farm? This is a fantastic pumpkin patch near Fort Campbell, located off of exit 24, about 30 minutes away.

In 1995, Farmer Jeff purchased 12 acres in Robertson County as a place to raise his kids and do some farming. He grew up in Memphis and was a city boy who had always dreamed of farming. In 2003, he had his first fall festival for church friends and neighbors. After that, Honeysuckle Hill Farm was born.

Today, Honeysuckle Hill Farm covers 200 acres and is managed by his son, daughter and about 150 farm hands.

Honeysuckle Hill Farm

The fall season at Honeysuckle Hill Farm started on September 23rd and will be ongoing until November 4th.

They are open:

Tues-Thurs from 9 am to 2 pm
Friday: 9 am to 10 pm
Saturday 10 am to 10 pm
Sunday 12 pm to 6 pm

Hometown Heroes Day

On September 30th of this year, the Farm will be celebrating Hometown Heroes Day. Those who serve will receive free admission and their direct families will get 50% off the cost of the ticket price. This will be for firemen, police, and active duty and retired military. There will also be a firework show that night starting at 7 pm.

Fall Festival 

Enjoy the fall festival and what Honeysuckle Hill Farm has to offer. My family and I were able to spend last Sunday afternoon exploring the farm. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed a lot of what the farm has to offer. Here are the highlights:

Honeysuckle Hill Farm

Pumpkin Train

This is a fun train ride you take out to the pumpkin patch part of the farm. They let you off and you can choose your very own pumpkin. This is so much fun for the kids and the train is super cute.

Honeysuckle Hill Farm

Corn Maze

This year the corn maze is the Nashville’s Country Music Corn Maze Sponsored By CMT & Mix 92.9. We spent a lot of time in there and it was a lot of fun trying to find our way out. I am not sure I would want to be in the maze after dark.

Playgrounds

Honeysuckle Hill Farm has quite a few playgrounds and areas for kids to run around. They have stagecoaches to play on as well as a giant tractor, a horse, and even some slides. They can also jump around on the corn popper trampolines, my 6-year-old loves them.

Honeysuckle Hill FarmPig Races

The pig races are hilarious because well, they are pigs. The kids can watch and root for their team and watch the pigs make it around the track.

Honeysuckle Hill Farm

There are other things going on at the farm too, from tasting some of KK’s Sweet Shop fudge to zip lining. You can buy lunch or just snacks at some of their many food stands.

Our family had a blast and plan to go back again in the future! Your kids will love this farm too!

If you live near Fort Campbell or in the Nashville or Clarksville area, make plans to head on out to Honeysuckle Hill Farm this fall and enjoy everything they have to offer. And don’t forget to come Sunday for Hometown Heroes Day!
