Thornspring Pastures

If you’re anywhere near Pulaski and haven’t made it out to Thornspring Pastures yet, you’re missing out on one of those places that actually feels like something. The play train is a big hit with the little ones — it’s the kind of simple thing that kids lose their minds over in the best way. This place really shines during the seasonal runs, think pumpkin patch in the fall and Christmas lights when it gets cold, so check what’s happening before you go. Pack a lunch or grab something there, because with the picnic tables and enough to keep kids busy for hours, you’ll want to stay longer than you planned. Restrooms and parking are on-site, which sounds basic but honestly makes a full family day here way less stressful.
