Nashville seems made for family travelers when summer comes around. It’s no secret the Tennessee capital is a music lover’s dream come true — after all, the country music scene is second to none! This summer, your family can find out why Music City is the perfect family destination thanks to its great music and so much more.
Summer is a great time to visit Nashville. With warm temperatures and plenty of sunshine, you can enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, zip lining, or water sports, as well as great indoor activities to keep you busy during the occasional summer storm.
There are plenty of ways to introduce the kids to Nashville’s country music legacy, like visiting the home of country music, Grand Ole Opry, where you can take a special backstage tour, 9:30 a.m.–4 p.m. If you are looking to enjoy some local bands, take in a live show along the Honky Tonk Highway. The honky tonks on the city’s famed Lower Broadway serve live country music all day long. It’s often free until 7 p.m., making it a perfect way for families to spend an evening taking in the local culture.
For the Taylor Swift fans in the family, head to Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum to visit Taylor Swift Education Center for hands-on experiences, exhibits, programs and youth art installations for kids from toddlers to teens.
Lucky Ladd Farms, Tennessee’s largest petting zoo, is a great way for families with kids of all ages to spend a day enjoying the warm summer days. Lucky Ladds is home to much more than Nashville’s furry locals. There are also mega slides, wagon rides, a splash pad and bubble blast pool. Kids can bounce on the giant jumping pad or go for a nature hike. Families can even visit the gem mine to look for fool’s gold.
By the time your family’s Nashville vacation has come to an end, you will be ready to plan your next trip back to this lovely city. Whether you wait for next summer or plan your return visit for winter, spring or fall, you’ll find plenty of great activities to give you an exciting stay with each and every visit.
