Indoors
Older kids and teens will enjoy time at The City Forum. Bowling, putt-putt, laser tag, go-cards, an arcade, and more are all under one roof. You’ll find pizza, hotdogs and nachos onsite, or hop next door (still in the same building) for an amazing burger at Dock 17.
Trampoline fun at Sky Zone Clarksville is the way to go for active kids. Rock climbing, basketball, a ropes area, and slides will burn off energy and give everyone a good night’s sleep!
D and D Blacklight Golf is an indoor putt-putt course with vivid glow-in-the-dark artwork. Rage‘N Axe delivers even more fun, especially for teens.
Younger kids will enjoy time at the newly redesigned Explorers Landing at the Customs House Museum, & Cultural Center filled with interactive fun and educational activities. Make sure to find the Bubble Cave, Train Exhibit, and Family Art Room.
Another newly opened experience is Mochas and Minis. Parents can relax and sip a favorite warm beverage while toddlers enjoy the time in a safe and fun indoor play space. Win-win!
Outdoors
Dunbar Cave State Park is one of the region’s most popular outdoor destinations. Hiking trails, wildlife, cave tours (May – October), picnic areas, and fascinating history are what you can expect here.
Bring the bikes and ride the North Ford St. Mountain Bike Trail, with paths suitable for all ages. For a paved, but still challenging, experience, try the scenic 9-mile Clarksville Greenway. (Just remember, this isn’t a loop…9 miles out means 9 miles back!) OR enjoy bike rides at the Greenway, Riverwalk, Liberty Park, and Downtown Commons.
Meander along the creek-lined hiking and biking trails and Rotary Park. Enjoy playgrounds, open play space, an 18-hole disc golf course, picnic areas, and a fantastic new nature center.
Not to be missed is the Cumberland Riverwalk downtown. Clarksville’s crowning jewel, the RiverWalk begins at McGregor Park, following the Cumberland River, and extends to connect with the Red River Trail system. Out and back is about 3.5 miles, but the trail also connects at McGregor with an urban trail system, the Upland Trail, that winds up to downtown.
Historic Collinsville Pioneer Settlement opens April 1 and is open Thursday – Sunday through October. This 40-acre settlement showcases 16 homes and outbuildings filled with period furnishings and tools. An audio tour of the self-guided experience brings the past to life. Grounds offer picnic areas and a covered pavilion with plenty of rural land to wander.
