Fall Break Destinations | The Nashville Mom

Where: Nashville, Tennessee
Love that you can experience this amazing place without evening traveling out of town
Opryland has so much to offer this fall including Goblins & Giggles which offers a wide array of family-friendly activations from spooky animal encounters and a Halloween-themed scavenger hunt featuring Spookley the Square Pumpkin to trick-or-treating and cruising along our indoor river aboard one of the resort’s flatboat rides. In celebration of Goblins & Giggles, a special family package is offered starting at $245 per room. The package includes a one-night stay at Gaylord Opryland Resort, two Hide and Seek Scavenger Hunt booklets per room and four passes for a ride on a Delta River flatboat inside the resort. The package is subject to tax, resort fee and parking.

Where: Walling, Tennessee

Horseshoe Bend Marina is only a mile from Rock Island State Park’s Sand Bar and boat ramp. If you’re looking to boat, fish, camp or kayak, this would be the perfect spot for you! Their gorgeous “glamping” tents have everything you need to make your camping experience convenient! They even have an onsite store with drinks, snacks, camping supplies, boating and fishing supplies. On October 27th, Horseshoe Bend Marina will be hosting a Halloween Party with pumpkin decorating contests, store’s state, bobbing for apples, and kid’s games! Glamping would be perfect for Halloween weekend!

The Smokies are full of family fun including hiking spots, downtown Gatlinburg, putt-putt, Dollywood, gem mining and more! We stayed at Margaritaville Resort in Gatlinburg this summer and enjoyed the beautiful property that is creekside! We loved this location that was walkable to shops and restaurants.

Where: Seabrook Island, South Carolina
Distance from Nashville: 8.5 hours
Seabrook Island is a quaint island town about 45 minutes from Charleston, S.C.

Lowcountry Retreat is a cozy beach house that makes for a fabulous family getaway or book a girl’s weekend like I did!
