We may not have the sand and the sea in Music City 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 7 reasons to be a tourist in your own city this spring break.
1Cheekwood
There’s no place more beautiful than Cheekwood in the spring as more than 250,000 tulips, daffodils, and spring-blooming bulbs spill from Cheekwood’s gardens, creating a colorful, showstopping experience you won’t forget. Magnolias, redbuds, and dogwoods are also in on the act as warmer weather and longer days arrive in Nashville.
2Grand Ole Opry
If you live in Nashville and haven’t been to the Grand Ole Opry, drop everything, buy tickets, and go. There’s nothing more Nashville and the line-up is always mind-blowing! You can even do a backstage tour catching a glimpse of behind-the-scenes.
3Tennessee State Museum
The Tennessee State Museum moved into its new location a few years ago. It’s free and open to the public six days a week. You can experience Tennessee history, art, and culture from the state’s natural history beginnings through the present day.

Radnor Lake is a total gem. An oasis just minutes from the hustle and bustle of Green Hills. The park is day-use only and the 7.75-miles of trail are strictly used for hiking, photography, and wildlife observation. Pets, jogging, and bicycles are only allowed on the Otter Creek Road trail. The Lake Trail is accessible to people with all-terrain wheelchairs.
5Country Music Hall of Fame
The Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum collects, preserves, and interprets country music and its history for the education and entertainment of diverse audiences. On exhibit now is American Currents featuring artists like Kelsea Ballerini, Kane Brown, Luke Combs, and Hardy.
