What to do with the kids this spring break? We rounded up four local activities and one that’s totally worth the drive. Hopefully you’ll find at least one your family will enjoy.
THE ADVENTURE PARK AT NASHVILLE

Nashville’s newest and largest adventure park offers fun for all ages and abilities. There’s a specially designed playground for 3- to 6-year-olds while thrill-seekers ages 7+ can climb to reach ziplines on a self-guided tree-to-tree climbing adventure, enjoy roughly 156 treetop platforms connected by bridges, ropes courses, ladders, 16 ziplines and other crossings. You can even rent an axe-throwing lane (ages 12 and up). Spring break schedule and other info here.
VISIT THE “SECRET CITY”

In Oak Ridge, TN, just a 2.5-hour drive from Nashville you’ll find the site of “the single most significant event of the 20th century,” the development of the atomic bomb and introduction of the Nuclear Age. You may know it as the Manhattan Project. At this National Historical Park you can tour the world’s oldest nuclear reactor and learn the amazing stories of people, events, science, and engineering that changed the world. Find out more.

A little closer to home, on Tuesday, March 15, Skydeck is hosting tons of kid-friendly activities like carnival games, Slap Shot Hockey Game with the Nashville Predators, Build Your Own Robot, Lego Bingo and much more!
