One of the most popular and enduring music venues in Nashville. Two stages (one upstairs & one down). Not really a place for kids as it gets very crowded most evening.

Large stage with some major music acts. They also feature line-dance lessons and a large dance floor. Kids ok until 8 pm (I think it's 8, might be 9 pm). A really fun place if you enjoy dancing & live music.

Parks & Nature
Beautiful, well-kept gardens on the Cheekwood Estate. The focus changes with each season - tulips in the spring, ghosts and goblin scarecrows in the fall. My favorite place to spend a day outdoor. Well worth the admission fee.

This is just one of the neat shops on 21st Ave. I tried to add Pangea, but it wouldn't let me. Great boutique clothing shops (a little expensive, but awesome styles), souvenirs, accessories. If you are staying on the west side, this is a nice place to browse for a morning before you go to Pancake Pantry for lunch!
