FUN (& Free) Things For Hurricane Katrina Evacuees To Do In Nashville, Tennessee

Today I heard about a number of local tourist attractions that are offering something special to those who've been displaced by Hurricane Katrina and now find themselves in Nashville, Tennessee.

Thanks to them, there are now lots of FUN things for these folks to do while they're in Nashville...

The best part: They're all FREE!

The following Nashville businesses are offering FREE Admission to Katrina evacuees:

  • Adventure Science Center

  • Centennial Park Sportsplex

  • Cheekwood Botanical Garden & Museum of Art

  • Country Music Hall of Fame

  • Frist Center

  • The Hermitage

  • Nashville Predators NHL Hockey (free tickets to preseason games)

  • Nashville Public Libraries (free library cards & e-mail/Internet access!)

  • Nashville Zoo

  • The Parthenon

  • Tennessee State Museum's "Raau" Exhibit

    ...What fun, right?!

    Thanks to all of the local business owners who are going above and beyond to help in this way.

    I'm sure this list changes daily. If you know of others, please post in the Comments below... thanks!

    If, by chance, you're in Nashville for some OTHER reason, I would consider the above to be the best local area attractions, and I would encourage you to visit one or more of them. You're sure to have a great time!

    "Hello All,

    I work for Ced-Concord Management which is a property management company. In the effort for relief of the victims from the hurricane they are waiving all of the application fees and Sept. rent is free. I know that it is not much but it is a start.

    Here is a toll free number and the list of apartments which are located in Texas, Georgia, and the northern part of Fl. So as I said before please pass it on. 1-866-659-0119

    Apt. in Texas
    Willow Green in Houston, Tx
    Ridgewood West in Huntsville, Tx
    Saddlewood Club in Bryan, Tx

    ...I've also heard of a number of businesses, small and large, going above and beyond to help those displaced by Hurricane Katrina.

    This is definitely "Good News".
