Musical Instrument Petting Zoo

Your kids can get hands-on with real instruments at this drop-in activity hosted at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Children will have the chance to bow a fiddle, pluck a banjo, strum a ukulele, and try their hand at other instruments while instructors are on hand to offer guidance and tips. It's designed for all ages and works perfectly as a casual stop during your museum visit—no registration needed. The activity is included with regular museum admission, and it's completely free for museum members. Eligible Tennessee children ages 18 and under from nearby counties (Cheatham, Davidson, Robertson, Rutherford, Sumner, Williamson, and Wilson) get free admission, plus up to two accompanying adults receive 25 percent off—just bring proof of residency. The Instrument Petting Zoo takes place in the Taylor Swift Education Center.
