As a nashville local these are some very fun things to do, but if you want to be more low key instead of all of the Broadway stuff, I recommend going to Percy Warner Park + Cheekwood (close to Belle Meade mansion). Percy Warner has various trails that have scenic overlooks, as well as biking trails. Cheekwood is an outdoor botanical garden/art exhibit all year round! Bicentennial park and The Tennessee State museum are also fun, and if you are near there you can get a tour of the Capitol Building. Also, an honorable mention is Opry Mills which is a massive development that serves as a mall, hotel, water park, and music area. It’s not really in nashville as it’s more north but still a great spot if you have the time :).
