Nashville is a hot spot for visitors, especially for Bachelorette parties. As a local, it bums me out when people tell me they only visited Broadway when they were in town! There are so many fun activities in Nashville. Here are some ideas that are not JUST eating or drinking or (gasp!) country music! This is such a vibrant city full of fun activities for everyone. (Ok, fine, you can order a drink at most of these places, but that's not so bad, is it?)

It's a magical place — even people who don't like country music, for some reason, still feel a little at home in Nashville.

Nashville is known for music, country music in particular. Growing up in my hometown, we were less than a two hour drive to Nashville, and that meant there were quite a few day trips and weekend trips spent in this lovely city during my youth. A majority of those trips were either for shopping or going to concerts. For multiple summers in a row, I attended the annual CMA festival, a four day event with some of the best country musicians. Fast forward to adulthood, I’ve now taken anniversary weekends to Nashville, attended conferences there and even temporarily relocated to the area with my family before moving back to Kentucky. I have a connection to this music city and I understand why it draws people in. I personally do not know anyone who doesn’t love visiting this destination and for good reason… Nashville is bursting with southern charm and good fun. From hospitality to dining to entertainment, it’s hard not to love spending time here. Recently my husband and I got the urge to get away with our kids to spend some quality family time together before the new school year began. Nashville was calling to us, so we set off to make some memories, enjoy some downtime and visit with friends. While Nashville is typically known for its downtown bar and music scene, there are plenty of things to do for families and children. Since having kids of my own, I’ve discovered more of the family-related activities you can do in the area.
