All aboard! Come to the Tennessee Central Railway Museum to see the largest collection of Tennessee Central Railway artifacts, including passenger cars, cabooses, freight cars and locomotives. The coolest part of the museum visit is the opportunity to board a TCR train on a passenger excursion ride around scenic Tennessee.

You can explore space from right here on Earth at the Vanderbilt Dyer Observatory, with the mega telescope that sits atop Nashville's tallest peak. Families can look through the telescope to observe cumulus clouds, a galaxy of stars, the swirling rings of Saturn and other outer space attractions.

Go on a Zoofari to the Nashville Zoo. Come face-to-face with more than three hundred and fifty animals, including majestic creatures like Bengal tigers and African Elephants. You'll be smack in the middle of big animal adventures and attractions, including the Wild Animal Carousel and the 66,000-square-foot Jungle Gym.

Mercy me! The nightlife rocks at Mercy Lounge with the popular 8 off 8th night where someone with their eye on the local music scene hand-picks 8 bands at his or her discretion for a night of truly diverse, talented musical mixing. Catch the next 8 off 8th and see if you have what it takes to get up on stage.
