Nashville Public Library
A jewel in the city’s crown, the downtown branch of Nashville Public Library houses much more than books. With two art galleries, a stunning Civil Rights Room and bright and a playful children’s section, you can while away an afternoon.
Bridgestone Arena
The roughly 20,000-capacity home of the NHL’s Nashville Predators turns gold in the winter for hockey with one of the loudest, craziest crowds in the league, but serves up a host of musical performances on a silver platter all year long.
OZ Arts
This former cigar warehouse has been transformed into a destination for cutting-edge contemporary art experiences, with eclectic programming of performing and visual arts events.
Zanies
Nashville’s flagship comedy club hosts a wide variety of shows, from local comic showcases to national headliners such as Aziz Ansari, Bruce Bruce, Janeane Garofalo, Chris Rock, Marc Maron and countless more.
Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center
Located near both Opry Mills Mall and the legendary Grand Ole Opry, Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center features nine acres of stunning indoor gardens under glass roofs — along with 2,800 guest rooms and more than 750,000 square feet of convention space. An additional perk is SoundWaves, an upscale indoor/outdoor water park with big, fast water slides as well as two lazy rivers, a wave pool and “water obstacles.”*
The Franklin Theatre
The Franklin Theatre opened in 1937 and was lovingly restored by the Heritage Foundation. Its Main Street location makes it the perfect moviegoing spot, but there are also lots of live music and theater performances that will help you make a night of it in downtown Franklin.
