Top Kids Events in Nashville

Kid-friendly things to do in Nashville this weekend. November 1-2

Alright, folks! Picture this: you’re wrangling the kids, you’ve got pumpkin-flavored everything spilling out of every corner of the car, and—despite your best intentions—at least one child is in some stage of a meltdown. So, naturally, what better way to cap off the season than by hitting up Nashville’s finest fall events? We’re talking owls, lantern-lit hikes, and a cultural bash that’d make even your sternest aunt crack a smile. It’s family fun, it’s memorable, and if all goes well, maybe nobody ends up covered in glitter glue. Nashville, we’re ready for you.


Lantern Hike at Owl’s Hill

📅 Friday, November 1, 2024
🕒 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
📍 Owl’s Hill Nature Sanctuary
Think peaceful hike, but with a pinch of Halloween left in the air and a chance to wander around under lanterns like you’re in some wholesome fairytale. Let’s face it: kids love to stay up past their bedtime and call it “an adventure,” so here’s your chance to make it official. It’s a family hike, it’s in the dark, and as a bonus, you’ll be guaranteed an early bedtime for everyone after a day like this.


El Día de los Muertos at Cheekwood

📅 November 2-3, 2024
🕒 9:00 am – 5:00 pm
📍 Cheekwood Estate & Gardens
El Dia de los Muertos is the ultimate cultural celebration, featuring dazzling displays, Latin American food that’ll make you wonder why you’re still eating bland casseroles, and enough art and crafts for the kids to bring home an entire museum’s worth of creations. And the marketplace? Perfect for those “whoops, forgot Christmas shopping” vibes. You’ll walk away full of food, memories, and possibly more souvenirs than you’d planned.


 

Owl Day at Owl’s Hill Nature Sanctuary

📅 Saturday, November 2, 2024
🕒 10:00 am – 1:00 pm
📍 Owl’s Hill Nature Sanctuary, Brentwood
Yes, Owl Day. Because every child deserves to look a real owl in the eye and wonder, “Are you wise, or are you judging me for that snack cup I just spilled?” This event is a hoot, with educational talks and even a photo op so you can proudly post a pic that screams, “Look at us, we did a thing this weekend!” Seriously, it’s a crowd-pleaser for little ones and parents alike.
