8. Hershey
   In our experience, we've found that Hershey, PA, is actually a much more popular location for senior trips than one may expect!

   Nashville, aka Music City, aka the Athens of the South, is one of the hottest new senior trip spots in the U.S. There are seemingly endless options for unique attractions, dining, and entertainment, plus Nashville offers something many other cities can't: the absolute most famous country music halls!
