Where can you run, splash and learn some history at the same time?

Hey everybody! Hey, if you really want to tire the kids out take them down for some exploring around the 19-acre Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park right downtown next to the State Capitol. It’s sort of a Nashville parents’ secret. Well, maybe not so secret.

It’s great because kids have all kinds of room to run around, but mostly they will probably love to get wet in the 31 fountains. That’s a pretty popular pastime, especially this time of year. So remember to bring an extra set of clothes.

The other thing of course is that it’s free free free. It’s really sort of an outdoor museum, and they might even find the history stuff interesting. Like the 200 foot granite map or the huge globe floating on water.

While you’re there, stop by the Farmers Market which is right next to the park.

See ya!
