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.

What started out as a live radio show turned a stage into the legendary Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. The name may have changed to the Ryman Theatre but big time country music entertainment still appears there. Known the world over as the show that made country music famous, you can catch stars like Alan Jackson, Dolly Parton and Rascal Flats live on stage.

You'll walk the shadowy streets of downtown when you step into the Haunted Downtown Nashville Tour and the Haunted Tavern Tour from Nashville Ghost Tours. If you don't feel like stretching your legs, catch a ride on the Haunted Hearse Tour and enjoy a riding tour of haunted city sights. Voted the best walking tour and the number one ghost tour in Tennessee, you're in for a scare!

Wild horses can't stop your night out at the Wildhorse Saloon, the country capital's best dining and nightlife entertainment destination. You'll get into the Wild Horse experience when you saddle up to the 66,000-square-foot, three-level historic warehouse serving up great meals and hot concerts. Grab your friends for a wild night out on the town!
