Tips for Families

Although not known specifically for their kid-friendly activities, both Nashville and Memphis offer plenty of fun options for families. For help in planning family vacations, check out the sample itineraries and hotel-and-attractions packages on the web sites of both cities' convention and visitors bureaus (www.visitmusiccity.com and www.memphistravel.com).

Recommended family travel websites include Family Travel Forum (www.familytravelforum.com), a comprehensive site that offers customized trip planning; Family Travel Network (www.familytravelnetwork.com), an online magazine providing travel tips; and TravelWithYourKids.com (www.travelwithyourkids.com), a comprehensive site written by parents for parents offering sound advice for long-distance and international travel with children.
