Which state parks should I visit in Nashville?

If you find yourself in Nashville and looking to get exploring outside, head to the 11-acre Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park. It’s right next to the farmer’s market and full of history and fun for all. Just some of the features you’ll find here include a World War II Memorial, a 200-foot map of Tennessee, and of course, the carillon bells. There are also tons of events held here throughout the year, such as movie nights and music festivals. There is also a visitor’s center, an amphitheater, picnic tables, and a gift shop.

What are the most popular foods in Tennessee?

If you find yourself in the Volunteer State and have a hankering to dine on some authentic and popular food in Tennessee, you’ve got a few choices. There’s doodle soup, a vinegar-based soup made with meat drippings, or deep-fried burgers, and hot chicken sandwiches. And save room to top it all off with fudge pie. But you really can’t visit Tennessee and not sample (and possibly devour) Memphis-style barbecue.

What is the most famous attraction in Tennessee?

While there are quite a lot of famous attractions in Tennessee, one of the most well-known (and visited) is Dollywood in Pigeon Forge. In fact, over three million people visit this amusement park partly owned and wholly named after country music singer, Dolly Parton. It joins the water park, resort and spa, and dinner attraction to form a 150-acre piece. There are 11 themed areas, including Timber Canyon, Owens Farm, and Country Fair, and more. There is something for everyone, no matter your age or idea of fun!
