Summer Saturday Activities For Kids

stump%20web.jpgOf all the fun things to do with kids in Nashville, Super Saturdays at Ellington are some of the best. Your kids will love the living history activities at the Tennessee Agricultural Museum.

Did I mention that Super Saturdays are FREE?

The Tennessee Agricultural Museum itself is a great rainy day adventure.

But on Summer Saturdays, there are even more fun things to do! All activities take place between 9 and 2:
