Top Nature in Nashville

Don't miss the Lorikeet Landing! It was a blast to feed them, but get some nectar tickets when you enter to avoid long lines later.

My advice is to check the schedule for animal feedings and shows when you arrive. We missed some cool things because we didn’t plan it out ahead.

Bring a picnic. There are some stunning spots to sit and enjoy your food. I grabbed lunch nearby and ate among the flowers, which was a lovely experience

My advice is to check the park's events calendar before you go. I stumbled upon a fun local event, but I wished I had planned better to catch it all.

I suggest hitting up Cumberland Park early in the morning, around 8 AM, for a nice vibe and to avoid the crowds. The park is super peaceful then, and you can really enjoy the views without anyone in your way

I suggest hitting the lake early, like around 8 AM. The water is super calm then, plus you’ll avoid the crowds and snag a good spot for your picnic!

I recommend visiting in the morning when it’s less crowded and you can snag a shaded picnic spot. It’s a great way to enjoy some quiet time before the kids come out to play.
