Opening hours in Antioch — a rainy weekend, sorted
The occasion changes the planning more than the activity does, so this is mostly about the planning.
If a visit is time critical - a party, a group, a long drive - call first: +1 (424) 387-6232 or +1 (615) 968-4925.
From Antioch the practical question is timing rather than distance. Arriving in the first hour after opening is worth more than shaving minutes off the drive.
Why it fits the occasion
The first hour after opening is the calmest of the day, and the hour before closing is the second calmest.
Sunday closes earlier than the rest of the week, which is the detail most often missed when a family plans a late afternoon.
How the day runs
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.
If two children are visiting together, plan for them to split up. Doing different things in the same room is the point of a room with different things in it.

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 Antioch
The drive back to Antioch is where you find out what they actually thought. Children review an outing about twenty minutes after leaving it, never during.
Let the child lead the order of things. Adults optimise; children choose the thing that looks best, and they are right more often than they are wrong.
Go early if the choice is available. The first hour after opening is quieter than any hour that follows it, and quieter is easier for everybody.
If you are coming from Antioch, treat it as a cross-town outing rather than a day trip. Go with a return time in mind and the day stays easy.
