<\/a><\/p>\n If you’re anything like me, you are unsure that spending time at Belle Meade Planation is really “kid-friendly”. Will they understand the history? Will they just be bored? Will they destroy the artifacts? Will they be too loud and rowdy?<\/p>\n Well, there’s a solution for those problems- The Adventure Backpack<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The Adventure Backpack is a program that Belle Meade Plantation came up with to help connect children, toddlers to age 10, to the history that surrounds them on the Plantation. The best way I can describe it is a treasure hunt. When you arrive to the Plantation, you can check out a backpack. Inside of the backpack you’ll find a parent’s manual, a key and a map. You’ll also find books, paper, markers, color sheets, and other fun things to make the day more interactive and enjoyable.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n As you work your way around the Plantation, your children will enjoy locating the treasure chests and unlocking them. There are 6 hidden around the Plantation. Each chest has various things inside that relate to that particular building. The kids can touch and play with the items which makes learning very hands-on. The parent’s manual also has extra facts and other things that you can tell your kids about each building.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Let the kids take their time and explore all of the items in each treasure chest. We even sat down to do some coloring and rest for a bit.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Our thoughts\/tips:<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Backpacks are available to rent\u00a0Monday-Saturday from\u00a09am-5pm<\/span><\/span>.
