MNPS students will be out of school for winter break from Monday, Dec. 22 through Monday, Jan. 5. When it comes to kid-friendly activities around town, we’ve got a list of 50+ ideas ready to go, including indoor fun for those extra chilly days.
Indoor adventures
Puttshack, 138 12th Ave. N.
Get your game on with high-tech mini golf. Need a snack break? There are $10 “Juniors Menu” meals that come with choice of main, side, and drink.
Eastside Bowl, 1508A Gallatin Pk. S.
The retro feel of this bowling alley makes it a cool spot to hang with the family until 10 p.m. — that’s when the biz transitions to a 21+ venue.
Tee Line Nashville, 106 Duluth Ave.
Kids ages 10 and up are welcome to hit the ice for curling sessions or get in a couple rounds of bowling before calling it a day.
Bonus: Mark your calendar for another kid-friendly outing coming soon: PopStroke Nashville opens Sunday, Dec. 28 with indoor and outdoor mini golf courses + a fully enclosed playground.

Biz
In spring 2024, we shared the early vision for Lost and Found coming to East Nashville’s Inglewood neighborhood. Now, several tenants have been announced ahead of the development’s early 2026 opening, including Pizza Lolo, a wine shop, a bar named Fortunate Sun, and space for four food trucks. (The Tennessean)
Quoted
“Being involved in a sports team in Nashville has always been a goal… the Preds are a great organization with a fantastic brand.” That’s what former Alabama football coach Nick Saban said after he and business partner Joe Agresti purchased a minority stake in the Nashville Predators.

The Buy
Our favorite way to stay warm in the winter? With a little added heat. We love this heated vest that provides up to 12 hours of continuous heat with a battery that doubles as a power bank. We pair it with these top-rated rechargeable hand warmers on extra chilly days.
This one’s a bit specific, but does anyone have a favorite chocolate meringue pie in town or know a place that sells them whole? If so, feel free to send the name of the place my way. Arnold’s Country Kitchen comes to mind, but the more recommendations, the merrier. Thanks in advance!
