Free Tennessee State Museum Admission and Kids' Gallery

Why it's worth it: Tennessee State Museum typically charges around $14 per adult admission. No purchase needed.

Entry to the Tennessee State Museum costs nothing, and that covers the Children's Gallery, a hands-on play space for ages 3-8 built around Tennessee history. No ticket or signup is required, so you can walk in. Check the museum's website for current hours and any gallery closures before you go.
