Opening hours for families in Donelson
If you are searching from Donelson, this is the practical answer.
Sunday closes earlier than the rest of the week, which is the detail most often missed when a family plans a late afternoon.
Families searching from Donelson are usually weighing one thing: whether it is worth the trip for an hour of something the children have not done before. The honest answer is that it depends on the child, and the rest of this page is about telling which.
Getting there
The first hour after opening is the calmest of the day, and the hour before closing is the second calmest.
Do not schedule anything immediately afterwards. An hour of concentrated play is tiring in a way that shows up in the car park, not in the room.
What you will find
If a visit is time critical - a party, a group, a long drive - call first: +1 (424) 387-6232 or +1 (615) 968-4925.
The published hours are 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM on weekdays and Saturday, and 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Sunday.
How long to allow
Sunday closes earlier than the rest of the week, which is the detail most often missed when a family plans a late afternoon.
Let the child choose what to do first even when it is the thing you would have chosen last. The order matters less than the choosing.

Planning your visit in Donelson
If you are coming from Donelson, treat it as a cross-town outing rather than a day trip. Go with a return time in mind and the day stays easy.
A short visit that ends while they still want more beats a long one that ends in a meltdown, every time.
Tell a nervous child what is going to happen in the order it will happen. Surprise is the thing they mind, not the activity.
Weekends bring more of Donelson out at once. If the schedule allows a weekday, take it; the same visit is quieter and the machines wait for nobody in particular.
