Homeschool Days

Calling all Homeschool and Community Families! In addition to our Family Tours offered daily, Homeschool Days are a great way for your family to explore Belle Meade at your own pace. The hands-on, interactive days are a come-and-go experience with activities programmed from 10:00am to 2:00pm. In 2026 we’re once again offering Homeschool Days in the Spring and in the Fall. Choose to attend either Friday or Saturday. Your ticket includes admission to our grounds for the remainder of the day, with access to our two restaurants, Coop n’ Scoop ice cream and coffee shop, mini-games court, and multiple self-guided historic structures. Homeschool Days do not include admission to the Mansion. 

This year we’re featuring programs to help celebrate our Nation’s Semiquincentennial.
