What is there to do in Nashville, TN that doesn't involve country music?

Question

Going to visit the fiances brother and am curious what is up in the area. Fun day trips, clubs? Will also be in the southern part of Kentucky.

Answer 1

There is a lot to do here that doesn't involve country music. If you like history, middle Tennessee is full of historical battlefields and plantations.  Also, some of the most beautiful parks are in there area.  If you are coming here Labor Day weekend, the Jazz Festival is in gorgeous, downtown Franklin, virtually 15 minutes from here.  And you say South KY? Bowling Green has the Corvette Museum.  Other than that, the only thing going for that town is a decent mall.  Shoot me a message if you want a more detailed list of what is available. I live here so I have a lot of details on the area.

Answer 2

I'm not sure of the name, but I think it's Grand 'Ole Golf.  It's a mini golf course that is right across from the Gaylord Opryland Hotel.  It has 2 normal courses and a 9 hole course that is especially challenging.  There's also an arcade.  We recommend the 9 hole course.

The gardens in the Opryland Hotel are gorgeous as well.  You just have to pay for parking.  The waterfall show is cool too...check at the front desk for the times for that.

There are a number of beautiful show caves that are open to the public in Kentucky.

EAT. seriously. if you're NOT from the south also check out waffle house and chick-fil-a. but for the most notable places try 'loveless cafe', 'swetts', also would recommend calypso cafe. if you're not from the south also throw in cracker barrel. logans is a southern steakhosue chain.

if you have old teens visit vanderbilt university. also the green hills area has a ton to do centered around a great mall.

There's not much in Nashville that has nothing to do with country music... it is the country music capital... there's a few jazz places there, but mostly country
