My group of girlfriends and I (in our late 20s) went to visit Belle Meade this past weekend and it was an incredible experience. The Mansion was decorated for Christmas and our tour consisted of a detailed explanation of Christmas throughout the decades / time periods of the home. What stood out most was our tour guide (so wish I could remember his name - he had been there since August 2017). He was very thorough and knowledgeable. The Christmas tour was not just thrown together. It was very well thought out, educational, and extremely interesting. Doesn't hurt that we got to taste amazing wines after the tour. I'd suggest making a stop here for sure!

We had a great time at Belle Meade! The price seemed a little high to me to be honest but after going on the tour (and the wine tasting). I can definitely say it is worth it! Steven was our tour guide and he was fantastic. I'm the type of person who usually asks a bunch of questions on tours like this but I didn't have any today thanks to how informative and thorough he was. The other areas you can visit before and after the tour were interesting as well and the Journey to Jubilee exhibit was very eye-opening. This was a great experience for us.

Came here straight from the airport during my Nashville trip of 2 days. They fortunately had a space to store luggage. Admission is $20 for adults and includes an audio guided tour of the hermitage and a person guided tour of the mansion. I liked being able to go at my own pace. The average time of visit is 2-3hrs. Be wary that only 12 people can go on the mansion tour at a time, so you might be waiting for a while. Each group before you is approx a 10 min wait. Inside the mansion is beautiful. It is, for the vast majority, representative of the actual items that were there back in Jackson's day. Behind the mansion are a few more cabins and a cotton field. Overall, a great experience.

We arrived walked around attended the duel in the educational center!! Overall even if your not a history buff..Was so cool learning about the duels and touring the homes/plantation of Andrew Jackson..You could even see the cotton fields, pretend that was your job way back in the day! It was also cool to see the wallpaper of way back when..you could almost hear the sounds of the children running up the stairs at night, giggling and playing games! This self guided tour is well worth the effort...reasonably priced!

I love state capitols and they're always fun to tour. It's great to see what parts of a state's history that they want to emphasize and it's great that they're usually free. The Tennessee State Capitol is no exception and it's really a beautiful building. It's designed in the neo-classical style so popular in Nashville and is surrounded by beautiful monuments and even has James K. Polk's grave outside the building. The inside is gorgeous and the senate and house chambers are very fun to see. Tours are on the hour during weekdays, but you can just roam as you please and do a self-guided walking tour. It's smaller than some other state capitols (like PA and NY), but it's definitely worth.

I have taken my students here twice and I have been here once on my own to protest for teacher rights. I have to say that it is a great field trip! The tour guides are friendly and are willing to answer 3000 questions from excited students (and their teacher). I love that they walk the kids through the entire place (including walking through the governor's office). We even got to meet the current governor while we were eating lunch. I thought it was nice of him to stop and talk with my kids. I personally love hearing why it was built there and how Nashville hasn't always been the capital of Tennessee. The limestone makes the building cool in the summer and that was wonderful.
