Small Towns, Big Experiences Getaway!

Plan your getaway to our corner!

It’s time to turn inspiration into a plan! Use this quick list of featured stops to build your own Northwest Tennessee day trip or weekend itinerary – family fun, wildlife, lakeside relaxation, and can’t-miss eats included.

Discovery Park of America

 

A world-class museum and heritage park experience with larger-than-life exhibits, hands-on learning, and outdoor exploration – perfect for families and curious minds. Spend the day wandering immersive galleries, snapping photos with big wow-factor displays, and exploring the outdoor spaces that make it feel like more than a museum. Whether you’re traveling with kids or just love discovering something new, this stop is an easy “make-a-day-of-it” favorite.

 

Crown Winery

Sip, unwind, and enjoy the Crown Experience—from tastings and tours to a relaxed atmosphere that’s perfect for a girls’ trip or date day. And it’s not just wine: Crown’s on-site brewery pours rotating small-batch craft beer, and their Humboldt location serves 14″ thin-crust pizzas (hello, “Taps & Toppings”). Best part? You can turn it into a true getaway by booking an overnight stay at the Crown Cottages—so you can linger a little longer and wake up right where the fun is.

Southland Safari Cabin Rentals and Guided Tours

Get up close with exotic animals through guided safari tours and encounters—then make it a true getaway with an overnight cabin stay. This is one of those experiences that feels like you traveled way farther than you did—wild, memorable, and totally photo-worthy. Whether you’re surprising the kids or planning a unique couples’ trip, it’s an unforgettable mix of adventure and getaway vibes.

Reelfoot Lake

Soak up lake life at legendary Reelfoot—where big skies, glassy water, and wildlife views make everything feel slower (in the best way). Turn it into a true getaway by staying right on the lake at Southshore Resort in Samburg or Blue Bank Resort in Hornbeak—both offer that easy, outdoorsy “basecamp” feel with quick access to the water, sunrise coffee moments, and quiet evenings that actually feel like a break. And when it’s time to eat, you’ve got great on-site dining options—grab a lakeside meal at Southshore or head to Blue Bank for food with views that may be just as memorable as the lake itself.

The Grind Mac & Cheese Burger Bar

A fun stop for big flavor—creative burgers, comfort-food favorites, and a casual vibe that’s easy to make part of any itinerary. This is the kind of meal that becomes part of the story—bold, satisfying, and worth the stop whether you’re road-tripping or exploring town. Bring your appetite, try something you can’t get everywhere, and make it a delicious “treat yourself” moment in the middle of your day.
