About this adventure

The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, located in downtown Nashville near the Music City Walk of Fame, features the popular 'Musical Instrument Petting Zoo' presented by the Taylor Swift Youth Education Department on a Saturday afternoon. Here, instruments are not just exhibits behind glass, but musical toys for children to touch and play freely. These include various acoustic guitars, bass guitars, fiddles, five-string banjos, ukuleles, accordions, and assorted percussion sets. On-site professional music instructors patiently guide each child on how to hold, pluck, and play their first chord or melody, fostering their musical awareness. The museum building is modern, with elevators throughout, making it easily accessible for strollers, and a dedicated stroller parking area in the lobby. An accessible family restroom with a folding changing table and a quiet nursing room are located next to the education center. This event is suitable for children ages 3 to 14, with a suggested visit time of 2 to 3 hours.
