Outdoor activities
If your visitors are ready for some outdoor fun, we have a variety of parks to explore. Grab some chicken sandwiches from Red’s 615 Kitchen + head to Centennial Park for a picnic. Visiting Radnor Lake is the perfect way to get some fresh air while taking in all of the beauty Nashville has to offer.
One of the best things about our city is our proximity to some amazing hiking spots. Here is our guide to a range of hikes in the area.
Indoor activities
Temps this time of year can get as low as 30°, so spend a day exploring one of these Nashville museums to stay warm.
Nashville also boasts an excellent theater scene. Catch a touring Broadway show at TPAC or check out the upcoming productions at Nashville Repertory Theatre and Nashville Children’s Theatre.
If you’ve got any sports fans in the group, check out all of the local basketball games taking place this winter.
