Opening hours in La Vergne: what autumn is like
The season changes what a visit feels like more than you would expect.
If a visit is time critical - a party, a group, a long drive - call first: +1 (424) 387-6232 or +1 (615) 968-4925.
Parents from La Vergne tend to ask the same first question: how long will this hold their attention. Long enough to be worth the drive, and short enough to leave while they still want more.
Why this time of year
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.
Sunday closes earlier than the rest of the week, which is the detail most often missed when a family plans a late afternoon.
What changes
The first hour after opening is the calmest of the day, and the hour before closing is the second calmest.
A birthday group runs better with a rough plan of who goes where first, even if you abandon it in the first five minutes.
What to wear

Planning around it
Sunday closes earlier than the rest of the week, which is the detail most often missed when a family plans a late afternoon.
If one child is nervous, let them watch for the first ten minutes without being asked to join in. Almost all of them join in.

Planning your visit in La Vergne
From La Vergne the practical question is timing rather than distance. Arriving in the first hour after opening is worth more than shaving minutes off the drive.
Photograph the machine as well as the child. In two years you will have forgotten what the room looked like.
Feed them first. Every attraction in the world is improved by not being hungry in it.
For a La Vergne family the trip works best folded into something else - the shopping that was happening anyway, a birthday that needed a venue, a Saturday that needed a plan.
