During your Nashville vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Adventure Science Center
It's hard to say which exhibit kids like the most at the Center. There are just so many fun interactive displays from which to choose in this modern, hands-on museum. Though the museum is primarily meant to be an entertaining way to introduce children to science, it can also be fun for adults. Kids of all ages can learn about technology, the environment, physics, and health as they roam the museum pushing buttons and turning knobs. On weekends there are almost always special shows and demonstrations, and throughout the year the museum schedules special exhibits. In the Sudekum Planetarium, there are regular shows that take you exploring through the universe. Allow 2 hours.
The Hermitage
Though you may not know it, you probably see an image of one of Nashville's most famous citizens dozens of times every week. Whose face pops up so frequently? It's Andrew Jackson, whose visage graces the $20 bill, and who is the man who built the Hermitage, a stately Southern plantation home. Jackson moved to Tennessee in 1788 and became a prosecuting attorney. He served as the state's first congressman and later as a senator and judge. However, it was during the War of 1812 that he gained his greatest public acclaim as the general who led American troops in the Battle of New Orleans. His role in that battle helped Jackson win the presidency in 1828 and again in 1832.Though the Hermitage now displays a classic Greek Revival facade, this is its third incarnation. Originally built in the Federal style in 1821, it was expanded and remodeled in 1831, and acquired its current appearance in 1836. Recordings that describe each room and section of the grounds accompany tours through the mansion and around it. In addition to the main house, you'll also visit the kitchen, the smokehouse, the garden, Jackson's tomb, an original log cabin, the spring house (a cool storage house built over a spring), and, nearby, the Old Hermitage Church and Tulip Grove mansion. You can tour the museum and grounds in a few hours.
The Frist Center for the Visual Arts
Opened in April 2001, the Frist Center for the Visual Arts brings world-class art exhibits to the historic downtown post office building. The nonprofit center does not maintain a permanent collection but rather presents exhibitions from around the globe. Upstairs, the ArtQuest Gallery encourages visitors to explore a range of art experiences through more than 30 interactive multimedia stations. Creative kids and likeminded adults could spend hours here.In addition to the high quality of its exhibitions, the Frist is free to visitors 18 and under, making it an excellent value as well. Coming exhibitions in 2004: Jacob Lawrence: The Migration Series from the Phillips Collection, featuring the 20th-century American artist's works tracing the movement of blacks from the rural South to the industrial North between the first and second world wars. Running concurrently will be an exhibition of European masterworks from the same collection, by artists including Cézanne, Monet, Degas, Picasso, and Gauguin. Looking farther ahead, the Frist's next blockbuster exhibition is slated for June to early October 2006. Quest for Immortality: Treasures of Ancient Egypt is being billed as the largest group of antiquities ever on loan from Egypt for North America.Constructed during the Depression, Nashville's main post office is home to the Frist Center for the Arts. Classical and Art Deco architectural styles are prominent within the marble and gray-pink granite building, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. Intricate grillwork celebrates icons of American progress: an airplane, a locomotive, a ship, and an automobile. Among other achievements represented in the icons: scientific research (a microscope, test tube, and flask), harvesting (a sheaf of wheat and sickle), industry (cogwheels), publishing (a book press), sowing (a hand plow), metalwork (a hammer and anvil), the pursuit of knowledge (the lamp of learning resting on books), and nautical endeavors (a dolphin and propeller).
Doubletree Hotel Nashville
Of the three modern high-rise hotels in downtown Nashville, this is one of the best choices if you're here on vacation. It has a less hectic atmosphere than the Sheraton or the Renaissance, and extensive renovations completed in 2002 have given the Doubletree a very contemporary look. (But the fresh-baked cookies delivered to your room upon check-in are strictly a down-home touch.) Located a few blocks from The District, this hotel is also convenient for anyone in town on state government business. The corner rooms, with their sharply angled walls of glass, are the most appealing units in the hotel. Also, be sure to ask for a room facing the street as these get more sunlight. An executive level offers additional amenities including a buffet breakfast and vouchers for drinks in the lobby lounge.
Sheraton Music City
Big, elegant, and set on 23 acres in a modern business park near the airport, this large convention hotel has a commanding vista of the surrounding area. Classic Georgian styling sets the tone and conjures up the feel of an antebellum mansion. In the elegant lobby, you'll find marble floors and burnished cherrywood paneling, and off to one side, a lounge with the feel of a conservatory. Following a recent $8 million renovation, all guest rooms have been updated with new carpeting, furnishings, and bedding. With the business traveler in mind, each room has three phones, large work desks, and plenty of closet space, as well as a couple of comfortable chairs. In the bathrooms, you'll find a coffeemaker and a phone.
Opryland Hotel
What Graceland is to Memphis, Opryland is to Nashville. In other words, whether you're an Elvis fan or not, you owe it to yourself to visit the mansion at least once. Ditto for Opryland. Whether you're into country music or not, a tour of this palatial property with its 85-foot water fountains, tropical foliage, and winding "rivers," has become almost obligatory. The Opryland has the look and feel of a massive theme park and it does attract thousands of visitors daily (on top of the numbers who are actually staying at this massive hotel). The most impressive of the hotel's numerous areas is the Cascade Conservatory, which consists of two linked atriums. Waterfalls splash across rocky outcroppings, and fountains dance with colored lights and lasers. Bridges and meandering paths and a revolving gazebo bar add a certain quaint charm. Elsewhere at Opryland, the Magnolia lobby resembles an elegant antebellum mansion, with its classically proportioned double staircase worthy of Tara itself. Escalators were recently added in the Delta area (one of the three atriums) of the hotel.Guest rooms, while modern and comfortable, don't quite live up to the promise of the public areas. Though colonial American decor and tasteful floral wallpaper give them a touch of class, they are still of average size and not overly plush. Wingback chairs, however, provide an extra measure of comfort. The more expensive rooms are those overlooking the three atriums. While offering a nice view, these rooms are not quiet when musical events are occurring in the lobby below. Food and shops are dotted throughout the Opryland Hotel. From coffee and beignets on the go to a full, sit-down seafood feast, there's something here for all tastes and budgets.
