Bowling Green Weekend With Kids
A short hour drive from downtown Nashville, college town Bowling Green, Kentucky, is home to the Hilltoppers. Western Kentucky University, the National Corvette Museum, and a quaint small town feel plus plenty of reasonably priced family friendly activities make this a great weekend destination in the Bluegrass State.
The closest hotel to WKU's campus, this Holiday Inn features a hearty breakfast buffet to get your family started, as well as friendly service and the amenity every kid loves in a hotel-the chlorinated glory of an indoor pool. It's centrally located to many restaurants and stores in Bowling Green.
The National Corvette Museum is a mecca for Corvette lovers as well as a fun, educational tour for the entire family. The $25 family admission is a great budget friendly deal. Have lunch at the Corvette Cafe, which features lots of options for little ones.

A fun playground for little ones is also on the grounds, as well as a batting cage for older kids. Definitely worth a visit for kids of all ages.

Good food, a convenient location near the mall and interstate (but not too close), and a reliable kids menu make this Bowling Green staple a sure bet for a sit down lunch or dinner with the family when you need a little more than fast food fare. Burgers and fries, salads, and a wide variety of other menu items are served up in a sports tavern type atmosphere. Rafferty's was open when I was a student at WKU in the early 1990s and my husband and I recently stopped there with our daughters.
