You can shop ’til you drop, and then take a break for some food OR some entertainment! Opry Mills now hosts Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum. It will walk you down the history of music and of course some of your favorite country stars are featured.
If you need a stress reliever visit Smith Creek Moonshine that distills moonshine and offers tastings of all their flavors!
Or for the kiddos a little break in the play area!
For lunch or dinner, they have some great eating choices from the Aquarium Restaurant to the Rainforest Cafe that will keep the kids entertained!
I had a great dinner at the Aquarium Restaurant!
With a baby on the way, I took advantage of many of their children’s stores to prep for having the first girl in our family.
I also grabbed these fall pieces from The Loft!
