Nashville is a very family-friendly destination, with great options for days out with the little ones. One of the best is the Nashville Zoo, where the focus is firmly on conservation and education. There are regular zookeeper talks through the day, and kids will love walking through the kangaroo enclosure while the 'roos hop beside them.
Another great option for children is Fannie Mae Dees Park, known as Dragon Park to the locals. The nickname comes from the large mosaic snake sculpture slithering in and out of the greenery. The park has plenty of green space for running, kite flying, or riding bikes, as well as several play areas for different ages.
