10 things to do on Spring Break in Nashville and Middle Tennessee

• Have some fun in Hendersonville! Ride the indoor go karts, play indoor glow mini golf or laser tag, climb the rock wall and lots more at Adventure Alley.
• Plan a gaming day! Hit the Flashback Arcade in Murfreesboro. Try one of the 400 pinball and arcade games at Game Galaxy Arcade in Smyrna. Throw an axe, play in the arcade, bowl a game and more at Stars and Strikes in Smyrna. Play in Virtual Reality at Rabbit Hole VR in Nashville and Franklin.
• Do you have a favorite indoor trampoline park? Shake things up a bit and visit a new one in another town. Invite some friends and make it a party! Try Defy in Brentwood, Altitude in Hermitage, All Air Extreme Air Park in Hendersonville or Urban Air Adventure Park in Old Hickory.
• Make a trip to Murfreesboro. Explore the Earth Experience – Middle Tennessee Museum of Natural History then head over to Hattie Jane’s Creamery for a yummy treat.
• If it’s Wednesday, take advantage of half price games at Dave and Busters or Super Power Hours at Lanes, Trains & Automobiles. If it’s Monday or Wednesday, get a deal on a wristband at Circus World.
• The weather is always perfect inside the Opryland Hotel. Park at Opry Mills and walk over to spend a fun afternoon exploring the indoor gardens.
• Hit some golf balls at TopGolf. Play some pinball at Pins Mechanical Co (it’s kid friendly until 8PM!)
• Visit The Adventure Science Center and see a live science show. While you’re there, check out a show at Sudekum Planetarium.
• Explore music history in the Music City. Check out the brand new National Museum of African American Music, Musician’s Hall of Fame Museum or the Country Music Hall of Fame Museum.
• Try some roller skating. There are several rinks in Middle Tennessee and most of them offer special open skate times during school holidays.

If it’s sunny and warm:

• Enjoy a day of fun and food in downtown. Play The Escape Game Nashville. See how many instagram worthy pics you can get in front of Nashville’s famous murals. Have some pizza at Mellow Mushroom. Or just skip lunch and have a milkshake bigger than your head at Legendairy Milkshake Bar!
• Visit Cheekwood and see the blooming tulips. Dress the kids in their Easter best for some beautiful Spring photos. Pack a lunch and some play clothes and spend the afternoon in the neighborhood at Percy Warner Park.
• Pack the mini van and head to Chattanooga for the day. Get an early start (maybe the kids will sleep through the drive?) and arrive in time for yummy pancakes at Aretha Frankensteins. Visit the Tennessee Aquarium in the morning and the Creative Discovery Museum in the afternoon. Make one last stop at City Cafe for dinner (Definitely save room for their cakes or pies for dessert!) then head back to Nashville for bedtime.
• Spend the day at the Nashville Zoo. If the sun is shining, this is a perfect way to spend the day outside.
• Tour the Stones River Battlefield. If your kids are too young to enjoy the rich historical significance of this area, they can burn off lots of energy walking the trails.
• Plan a picnic by the lake or go fishing!
• Have a doughnut at Five Daughters Bakery in Franklin to give you energy to attack the SOAR Adventure Tower. Finish the day with dinner and a game at Kings Bowl.
• Learn a little at the Parthenon and then play a lot at Centennial Park!  Hop across the street for a swim inside Centennial Sportsplex.
• Explore The Fountains at Gateway. Take a one mile hike around Gateway Island then relax and enjoy a picnic in the Greenspace. Treat yourself to an Old Fashioned Malt at The Sodabar.
• Head out to Bicentennial Park. The kids can run and explore this giant space and maybe learn a few things about Tennessee history. Walk over to the Nashville Farmers’ Market for lunch and end the day with a visit to the Tennessee State Museum.
