The Aquarium restaurant is 6.5 miles from our location. You will dine surrounded by a 200,000 gallon tank which houses a wide variety of fish and other aquatic creatures. My favorite of these is the eels which hide in and out of the coral in the aquarium, and of course there are some majestic sharks that swim among the smaller fish. It's very exciting!

Opryland Hotel, is a great place for seasonal sightseeing especially during the Christmas season. They have one of the best indoor Christmas light displays in the Middle Tennessee region, and they have a pretty impressive fountain show through out the year (at least when talking locally -> its no Bellagio)

Our local symphony does all of the classical music that you'd imagine, but they also do some great tribute concerts to everyone from their take on Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, to their renditions of Zelda Video Game Music or of Harry Potter Music. If you get the chance this can be a thoroughly enjoyable show!
