Spring Break Nashville-style!
______________________________________________________________________
We may not have the sand and the sea in Music City (my only beef with Nashville) but we have everything else you need for a perfect spring break staycation. Bonus: Save a little moo-la.
Here’s the deal. Nashville is jam-packed with family fun but life just gets busy and locals get stuck in their daily routines of school, work, eat, sleep, repeat. So – here are 10 reasons to be a tourist in your own city this spring break.

Their newest exhibit, American Currents, officially opens today and runs through February 2020.

Radnor Lake
Radnor Lake is a total gem. An oasis just minutes from the hustle and bustle of Green Hills. The natural park has more than six miles of trails that are strictly used for hiking and observing wildlife – no jogging, fishing or walking pets. A perfect place to breathe in fresh air and get some exercise with your family.

The Parthenon
Many folks, even locals, don’t realize Nashville’s nickname is the Athens of the South, which helps explain why we have a full-scale replica of the famous landmark off West End Avenue. Built in 1897 for the Tennessee Centennial Exposition, the Parthenon now serves as an art museum and centerpiece for Centennial Park, a 132-acre green space two miles from downtown.
