We visited the haunted ghost tour t the Belle Meade plantation. Stories of scary tales that were deemed true were told in a scary atmosphere. Hot chocolate and candy for kids were offered after the tour. Not very scary for kids, but puts you in the mood for the holiday!
PROS: Puts you in the holiday mood, great for families
CONS: not scary, worth going to once

This is one of those things that if you are in the area then you have to do this at least once. It is great to 'go back' and see how people lived then. I really like that everything is done in period style. The house is huge and is an antebellum masterpiece. It is set in such a beautiful place with rolling hills. Everyone there is very friendly and helpful and eager to answer your questions. They also have a cute little gift shop.

A great historical tour. People are dressed in period clothing. Several tours are offered daily at reasonable prices. The restaurant is a little pricey and personally we did not care for it. My kids got a little bored but they are young (3 and 5). It was a nice tour and an experience I am glad we did but it would have to be a very looooong time before I visit again.

Belle Meade Plantation is a great place to go for an afternoon or take visiting families. You will feel like you have turned back the clock and gone back in time to the Old South. The plantation is beautiful and they give wonderful tours that are very educational. You can also buy great gifts in the gift shop.

This was simply one of the most enjoyable experiences of our trip to Nashville. The house and grounds are both historic and beautiful. The tour guide, John, was informative, witty and a lot of fun. The house itself was decked out for Christmas and could not have been more interesting and beautiful. Anyone interested in history, needs to take a couple of hours and enjoy this treasure. Simply Amazing!
Pros: great tour, great attraction, fun
Cons: none

I was quite impressed at the variety of things to see at Belle Meade Plantation. It is not just a house museum but an entire plantation experience where you get to see how the family started out, original buildings that survived the civil war and they even had a special event going on when we were there. The promotional material said that they have ongoing events throughout the year so my family is planning to return in the Fall for Fall Fest. We spent an entire afternoon here - what a treat!

Truly a great historical site with lots of charm and character. The guides are informative, helpful, and make the tour a delight with their witty humor and entertaining stories. If you are looking for something different, then Belle Meade Plantation is the best of the Tennessee Plantations. They also have a great gift shop and restaurant.
