Fun Things to Do in Nashville With Kids

Nashville is a fun city for both kids and adults. There are several Nashville parks, playgrounds and museums that kids will love visiting. Kids are very active most of the time so they need to be able to burn some of their energy off. There are some great places for kids in Nashville to do that. Here are a few things for you to consider when visiting Nashville.
Feed the ducks at Centennial Park. The Nashville Parthenon is located in Centennial Park so you get a to see one of the famous Nashville tourist attractions as well. There is also a playground in the park. Be sure to take some bread or crackers for the ducks.
Take a scenic train ride on an old train. The Tennessee Central Railway Museum has train rides with themes. Sometimes they have a mystery or a train robbery. The Easter Bunny, Thomas the Train and Santa also visit the museum from time to time. It is important to plan this well in advanced because they only make about 20 train trips a year.
Visit one of the outdoor water parks in Nashville. It is a great way to cool down during the summer. Wave Country is a smaller water park and it is usually not as crowded as Nashville shores. Both water parks are a lot of fun.
Go to a Nashville Sounds baseball game. Baseball is always fun and kids can usually meet the team mascot, Ozzie after the game. Here is a tip for you. Plan an extra hour into the schedule. Greer Stadium is right next door to Fort Negley Park, a civil war battlefield and it is free to see. It will take about an hour unless you decide to watch the films about it then you better plan for two hours.
Kids and adults both will enjoy a trip to the Nashville Zoo. There is a petting zoo and a portion of the zoo that has farm animals. There is also a large playground. you can spend the whole day there and have a wonderful time.
During the fall months take the kids to a corn maze. These are seasonal events but they are lots of fun. Most of them have several activities for the kids. Usually there are hay mazes for the little ones and they get to pick out and paint a pumpkin at most of the cor mazes.
As you can see there plenty of fun things for kids and adults when you visit Nashville. Most of this is budget friendly as well. Plan your day out with the kids soon and have fun.
