Visiting as a group in Mount Juliet: asked and answered
The questions below are the ones that come up before a first visit, answered plainly.
Four machines and one big crate spread a group out. So does a rink - there is no single queue for the whole party to stand in.
The nearest of the two centres to Mount Juliet is the one to aim at - Opry Mills in Nashville - and the drive is the ordinary sort rather than an expedition.
The short answers
Split a group by what they want rather than by age. The child who wants to watch is having a good time too.
Any adult who has taken six children anywhere knows the failure mode: five occupied, one bored, and the bored one setting the tone.
The longer answers
Tell the centre the numbers in advance and the day runs better for everyone, staff included.
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.
Still worth asking on the day

Planning your visit in Mount Juliet
From Mount Juliet the practical question is timing rather than distance. Arriving in the first hour after opening is worth more than shaving minutes off the drive.
If two adults are coming, split up rather than shadowing the same child. One at the rail, one free, and everybody has a better hour.
If it is the first time, do not also make it a birthday. Learning a place and celebrating in it are two different visits.
A Mount Juliet school holiday runs out of ideas by about day three. This is a day-three answer rather than a day-one one.
