If you have kids and are looking for things to do near one of our extended stay hotels in Nashville, TN, consider the Adventure Science Center!

This family-friendly and not-for-profit science center features over 175 exhibits with hands-on learning. You and your kids can explore different branches of science like earth & weather science, astronomy, biology, physics, and more! This premier science center has 3 floors of permanent exhibits, special rotating exhibits, and even a state-of-the-art Sudekum Planetarium!

There is no shortage of fun and learning here at the Adventure Science Museum. Some of the museum’s permanent exhibits include the Imagination Playground, Moonwalk & EVA, BodyQuest, Nature’s Forces, Adventure Tower, and Beekeeping –just to name a few!

At Imagination Playground you’ll put on your engineering pants and you move larger than life building blocks. Let your imagination run free as you design buildings and structures bigger than you!

Have you ever wanted to feel what it’s like to walk on the moon? Head over to the Moonwalk & EVA exhibit where you’ll strap in and get to experience the feeling of walking with limited gravity. What’s even better –you can also participate in activities and task astronauts do with zero gravity!

Take a journey through the body at BodyQuest. Through games and hands-on activities, you’ll learn all about the circulatory system, digestive system, the brain and more!

Nature’s Forces is an exhibit dedicated to earth’s natural processes like tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, and tsunamis. Get to experience how tornadoes form and the destruction they can cause or what an earthquake feels like under your feet.

Adventure Tower stands 45 feet tall and has the perfect view of Nashville. Here you will experience all of the different branches of science through obstacles like the vertebrae ladder or fun activities like the walk-on piano!

Visit the only museum in Nashville with a LIVE beehive! The Beekeeping exhibit features a native bee colony in a glass enclosed habitat. Watch as worker bees do their part to keep the hive flowing.

If you get hungry and need to take a break from all the edutainment visit the Skyline Café. This dining spot features Subway sandwiches and salads for visitors and field trips.
