So, you could grab some lunch or enjoy a snack while you&#8217;re there. There&#8217;s no snacks allowed <i>in\u00a0<\/i>the gallery. When it is a little warmer, I would love to sit out in the courtyard to have a picnic. The view is gorgeous.<\/li>\n<li>You can definitely push your stroller around. There is an elevator that goes to each floor.<\/li>\n<li>There&#8217;s changing tables in the bathrooms for your little ones.<\/li>\n<li>No cameras! I took some iPhone pictures in the Martin&#8217;s Artquest and no one yelled at me, but I&#8217;m a rule breaker like that. :)<\/li>\n<li>Oh, did we mention that kids under 18 are FREE!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thenashvillemom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/FristCenter2.jpg?ssl=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1464\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thenashvillemom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/FristCenter2.jpg?resize=599%2C723&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"The Frist Center in Nashville\" width=\"599\" height=\"723\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thenashvillemom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/FristCenter2.jpg?w=599&amp;ssl=1 599w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thenashvillemom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/FristCenter2.jpg?resize=249%2C300&amp;ssl=1 249w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thenashvillemom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/FristCenter2.jpg?resize=300%2C362&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 599px) 100vw, 599px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Frist Center has their own list of tips for visitors with children.
