Cheekwood Estate & Gardens gives Nashville families 55 acres of pure storybook: formal gardens that change with every season, a model railroad village where miniature trains circle tiny Tennessee towns, and shaded paths made for small explorers.
Family programs run all year — Tuesday storytimes for tots, nature walks, seasonal festivals from spring tulips to holiday lights, and art activities in the museum galleries and learning center.
It’s Nashville’s favorite ‘run free’ destination: elegant enough for grandparents, wild enough for toddlers, and photogenic in every single season.
