Go to a Nashville Sounds Baseball Game

 What makes baseball fun is that kids can usually meet the team mascot, after the game. Here is a tip for you. Ensure you add one hour extra into the schedule. Right next door to Fort Negley Park is Greer Stadium, a civil war battlefield. They are also free to see. Usually, it will take about an hour unless you decide to watch the films about it then you better plan for two hours.
