Explore and recharge during Spring Break Safari March 15-April 20 in Chattanooga. The city, built along the Tennessee River transforms into a place where kids rule and adventure is sought around every corner. Kids can feed sharks and hang out with sea turtles and penguins at the Tennessee Aquarium, spelunk through the caverns at Ruby Falls, navigate a boat along the Tennessee River as a pirate, and find enchantment as a sword fighter or archer along Rock City’s Enchanted Trail during Fairytale Nights 5-8 p.m. nightly March 28-April 20.

Celebrate the joys of warm weather and sunshine days at the countywide Smoky Mountain Springfest March 19-June 8 in Pigeon Forge, Sevierville and Gatlinburg. Events include the Spring Wildflower Pilgrimage, a five-day event in Great Smoky Mountains National Park and features art classes, natural walks and indoor seminars; and the Dolly Parade 6 p.m. May 2 when entertainment icon Dolly Parton leads the parade as Grand Marshal.

Experience an eclectic blend of entertaining shows, heritage and rides at Dollywood, hailed as Amusement Today’s “Friendliest Park in 2013” and hosts approx. 2.5 million visitors annually. The park will reopen March 22 to offer visitors a Spring Break worth repeating, especially when the park unveils its newest attraction FireChaser Express, the nation’s first dual-launch coaster that transports riders forward from zero to 16 mph in 1.1 seconds and backward from zero to 20 mph in 2 seconds filling the 2-minue-and-19-second ride with thrills and excitement.

Nashville Zoo will have some prehistoric creatures living in the forest beginning March 15. “DinoTrek,” featuring 15 robotic, life-sized dinosaurs like the Baryonyx, Tyrannosaurus Rex, and Stegosaurus will be on display to hiss, spit, move and roar. Mini-excavation fossil digs will be conducted and special dinosaur-themed birthday parties and education programs will be offered. Admission to DinoTrek is $3 for zoo members and $4 for non-members.

Hear the rumble of 10,000-ton freight trains as they travel through the heart of Wartrace during Dixie Line Days April 26. See iron horses weighing from 4 ounces to 425,000 pounds. The railroad locomotives will be on display in various shapes and sizes at the Walking Horse Hotel and other downtown venues. Model trains, dealer swap tables, a Q&A with a steam locomotive engineer, live bluegrass music, food and contests will be included in the day’s festivities.

Spring comes with new blooms and opportunities to celebrate, especially in Music City with the Nashville Cherry Blossom Festival April 12 at the Public Square at Metro Courthouse. The mission is to plant 1,000 cherry trees throughout Nashville within 10 years, symbolizing the friendship between Japan and the U.S. Arts and crafts, the Cherry Blossom Walk, an experience of modern Japan culture at J-Pop Land, a Taste of Japan and more events will take place.
