A premier Nashville attraction for the entire family! Wander through one of the South’s “Top-Five” botanical gardens. Tour a 30,000 Georgian-style mansion with interactive world-class art exhibits. Set out on the unique Sculpture Trail along a wooded wonderland of international outdoor art works. Enjoy a picnic lunch on the lush estate or dine in the gourmet restaurant. A visit to Nashville is not complete without a visit to Cheekwood – an American treasure.

Long Description : From the moment you arrive at Cheekwood, you step into another time – a time for you. Welcome to our 10 gardens – from wildflowers to herbs to one of the nation’s most renowned Japanese gardens. Marvel as the surroundings cascade downward from the great mansion to the ponds and observe the imported boxwoods -- all part of an estate built by the Maxwell House Coffee Fortune. Enjoy the Koy fish in the Howe Wildflower garden pond, or the spectacular camellias in the hothouse. In the Museum you can explore an amazing and vast collection of artwork with your entire family. American and contemporary painting and sculpture, English and American decorative arts, traveling exhibitions, and renowned collections, including silver and the most comprehensive accumulation of Worcester porcelain in America can all be found here at Cheekwood. When you’re hungry after a day spent exploring the grounds you can lunch at the full-service Pineapple Room Restaurant, providing a panoramic gourmet delight from a glassed-in dining area and outdoor deck. Or, take a box lunch out and dine on the property. A visit to Nashville is not complete without a visit to Cheekwood – an American treasure.
