A beautiful building (saved from destruction and now a museum and multi-purpose event center).
We really enjoyed the personal tour of the various railcars (engine, dining car, sleeper and presidental coach) by Nancy. Nancy was excellent!

It's very neat that this place is still open to the public! I love the ornate details inside. The postal train is super cool!! Is that the reason mail from IL goes to STL, then Nashville?
The model train set-up is extensive. It has so many tiny features to look at. We could have watched it for hours. 🚂🚃

The rail park and train museum is a must-see for anyone interested in rail travel history. They have several actual Pullman cars to tour and a knowledgeable staff to provide information and answer questions.There is a museum with artifacts upstairs but one of the things we found most interesting was one of the largest model train setups we've ever seen. You can easily spend a couple of hours here so it is well worth the cost of a ticket.

Good place to learn about history of railroads and trains in Boing Green KY. Just not very good for younger kids.
It would be good if the tour could either have a self-guided tour for people to enter the train or have a shorter, kid-friendly tour.

If you have an hour or more and want to see a hidden gem where railway and Kentucky history intersect this is well worth your time. Some very cool items in the gift shop besides just cheap trinkets. Near antique railway mementos (some dated 1938) for reasonable prices (under $10). Huge toy train display. Self tour is cheap and interesting but I recommend the guided tour of the Pullman cars as well for just a few bucks more. They even have the old lobby set up to host small events.

We stopped here to see the trains and hopefully a model layout. We were happy to see the HO scale and N scale layouts inside the gift shop. We felt the price for the tour and museum was too much, so we did not do these activities.

Very nice museum. $18 for adults, which includes a guided tour of several railroad cars. I'm not a train person, but I spent 2 hours here. Very well done and informative displays on 2 floor of old train station. Several short videos available of conductors and porters discussing their job. And very large and highly detailed HO model train. Has gift shop and plenty of free parking.

Great museum with an awesome tour. It was our tour guides first time giving a tour but he had so much information that it was like he's been giving them for years. To see inside the mail car and sleeping cars was really fun. Kids will love it. The giant miniature train set was fun to see too with many trains running at once.

Great little rail museum for kids and train buffs alike. Knowledgeable tour guide brought the history alive and was wonderful with the kids and a great gift shop too. Figure on about two hours to take the tour of the train and the museum and gift shop.

This was great! The museum had lots of high quality exhibits and the information and data was portrayed expertly and in no expense on stands and walls. Was very well organized and the cost was fantastic!
We also did the train tour and that was great, our guide provided LOTS of information and let us take ample time in the train cars, which were well kept and restored. They're currently restoring 2 more train cars which will be awesome to go back and see later!

The train depot is nicely restored. They have a uniquely and carefully selected set of rolling stock and an E8 locomotive that I'm glad has been restored and maintained. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave a pretty good history of the L&N. This museum is definitely worth going to. The hospital car and caboose should be open for a tour next year. Military get in free with ID.

Did a Paranormal Investigation here on the 25th. Not much activity. We did have the name "Roy" come up on our spirit box and that was my father in laws name. He worked for the railroad for 50 years. He has been dead almost 8 years. We were going into the dining car and the words "sit down' and "bless" came through. They were telling us to sit down and bless the food.
It also said the number "10" and there were 10 of us in the group. 🤷🏼♀️🤔🫣🙄👍
Western Kentucky University is a beautiful public university located in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Spanning over a large part of northside of the town, it has dozens of pretty historic buildings and lovely green grounds to explore. It is one of the states top educational institutes, with roots dating back to 1876. A popular tourist destination for prospective students, there are often guided tours available or you can download an app that will take you around on your own.
I visited the campus while staying in the area for the total solar eclipse in 2017. The campus was clean and safe. Internet searching showed that this was the only place in the US with white squirrels. I walked around the campus for 2 hours but only saw regular squirrels. Many students were not aware that this campus was known to have white squirrels and those who were aware said they never saw one. Just as I was about to give up, I spotted one by Potter Hall! See photos.

Good school mostly good professors, but the things you don’t see when you’re applying places like how WKU’s overall boards and staffs handle things are terrible they show you exemptions for getting out of dorms and living somewhere else but somehow those exemptions just end in you getting charged 50% for the dorm anyways, there’s little things like if you lose your ID after 4pm or on the weekend you can’t get a new one and your dorm will punish you for signing in without it even if other dorms desk assistants are more understanding and don’t punish everyone else campus police are also there more for show than anything there were 3 break ins on the parking garage that sits on top of their police station so just take these things for what they are.

Was actually working this morning & for our first day, I can truthfully say I def stressed way too much over it bc it was totally not like I expected & I had fun & am ready to see how the next time is gonna go, it's lil different from today as today was lady topper game & next is hilltoppers so I expect it to be quite a bit more as far as crowd & we stay the whole time to direct them out afterwards as well. So it's gonna be a few more hrs also but that's prolly not an issue I'm sure. We can handle it, we can handle anything that we tackle as a team & I'm thankful I can say that. Enjoy working with my hubby, but countdown has begun bc he goes back to his regular job in April. But we can say that we felt welcome & def didn't have that weird 1st day feeling like a lot of places. They made us feel included & like they were glad we were there. It was a pleasant change. I hate starting a job & feeling like you are the only one that doesn't belong there. This was nothing like that at all & it was enjoyable.

President won't take your calls. No help if you don't come from a traditional family. They all say the care as you are bounced from office to another without anyone helping. Promising to return calls that never happen. We were so excited to see her attend there. She really enjoys her classes and campus. Now we are dreading the next four years. They are pushing us towards loans to pay when she qualifies for aide. I'm sure review will be removed, but maybe one non-traditional student will read and save themselves the trouble. Don't let the answer to my review fool you. We've been there multiple times in person. They want to force students into boxes instead of trying to understand unique situations. Trying to force them to rely on people the student knows won't help. What is the worse is having to drag student through their past then saying that it's too bad, it has to be that way. Not caring the pain they are causing. Again non-traditional students look elsewhere!!

The convenience of a WKU campus being close to home was the best part of this school. As far as the program I was in I did not enjoy it what so ever. The program didn't require critical thinking or much application of the concepts self taught from the textbooks. My ADA was violated 2 semesters in a row by the same teacher and the disabilities office declined to look into it because it didn't affect my letter grade when final grades were posted. The career prep services are mediocre at best and they are of no assistance once you graduate. The accommodations put in place for taking test for ADHD at the Owensboro campus are absolutely awful. I was put in a room a little bigger then my closet with 5 other students to take exams. I declined to use that service after the first time because of how distracting the environment was in that small space. There is no campus feel here and no organizations you can join since it's not at main campus. The financial aid department wasn't helpful while I was there or even once I graduated when I had questions about the loans I received, while at WKU. The class sizes are super small which was enjoyable. There's little flexibility to class times if you're in your major and that can cause some problems if you are employed full time. I personally did not feel prepared to go out as a professional once I graduated from WKU. I got the degree with no problem straight A's actually, but I don't think I learned as much as I should have. I did not enjoy my time at this school.

Underground cave tours are a great way to explore Bowling Green's Lost River Cave complex. The attraction offers an interesting experience on a subterranean boat ride that is appropriate for all ages. The tour guide provides information about the history of the cave and underground waterway while visiting "blue pools" near the entrance of the cave.
We really enjoyed our visit today! The boat ride was nice and the cave is beautiful. Our tour guide was super funny and made it so much more enjoyable as she educated us on the natural history of the area. I felt good spending money here, knowing that the proceeds go to and not for profit foundation set up to preserve this historical cavern. The site also ties in with Civil War history, which was an extra bonus for my boys.

Pulling in the parking lot we had no idea what to expect. After entering the gift shop to buy spots on the tour, we found a wonderful place for souvenirs.
The staff was super friendly and gave us all the information we needed to start our adventure.
Walking down to the cave is a beautiful Scenic route. 🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶Once we reach the end of the path and saw the cave, we were pleasantly surprised at its splendor. 🤩
Our guide was full of energy and made us laugh many times during the boat ride.
I recommend you don’t forget to fit this itinerary on your next vacation. 😁

A very short experience in the cave itself. The surrounding area is beautiful and well maintained. Plenty of parking and staff to assist. The gift shop is on the pricey side but has all kinds of options for everyone.

If you love being surrounded by the wonders of God's creation then I highly recommend the nature trail here. With beautiful scenery and interesting facts about the Lost River along the way it is sure to please any nature lover. I have yet to take the underground boat tour but I'm sure I won't be disappointed when I finally do. The gift shop has unique and beautiful items for sale and the employees are very friendly. My grandchildren enjoyed the rock mining and the Lost River spring more than anything. I could go here every day and discover something new.

We've been through numerous caves, and although this one does not have the massive stalactites and stalagmites (which they explain about during the tour), it was a very interesting cave and I loved hearing about all of the history surrounding the cave and the area. Our guide, Jayden, was both personable and knew what he was talking about. I wish I had known ahead of time about all of the trails in the area as well because I would have planned to have more time before or after our tour to explore the area some more. I am very glad that we decided to do this.
The walk down to the cave was intermixed with things to see and stories to hear, so it wasn't too fast for anyone in the group and our overall group ranged from somewhere 6 months to somewhere upward of 60. You walked back on your own and at your own pace for the uphill part, and it really wasn't bad. There is a gravel parking lot at the very back of the property that will knock about 10 minutes off of the return walk if you are worried about the total distance. One woman had her son go and get their car for her. Nice short distance, so very easy to drop one person at the front desk to check-in, then drive those worried about the walk to the back of the parking lot and park there.
The only warning I would have for people with balance or knee type problems is that the two steps down into the boat can be a bit hard to manage since there isn't anywhere really good to hold onto. The guide was holding the boat steady, so he wasn't able to help much. Even though I was headed to the left side of the boat to be seated, I walked in on the right side and used the rail on shore to hold onto, then moved over to my side.

We had so much fun on our visit to Lost River Cave. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Nashville. This was our sons favorite part of vacation. It is just a short 45 minute drive from Nashville and well worth it. I purchased our tickets online and there are a few benefits of that. I was able to get a discount on the kids mining buckets which they loved! And you also receive a coupon for the gift shop. The tour guides do an amazing job and know a lot of history about the cave and area which I enjoyed. Really all the staff from the gift shop to the guides are super friendly and helpful. If you are visiting when it is cooler be sure to bring a jacket you do have to walk outside some and will want a jacket.
Just a note our kids are 9 and 2.5 and it was perfect for them. I was unsure if our daughter would enjoy it or be entertained long enough to sit still for the tour but she did fine. I highly recommend the mining bags or buckets kiddos get to pan for treasure (gemstones shark teeth and geodes) outside of the gift shop and ours loved that experienced.

This cave was beautiful! I enjoyed learning facts about the place from our tour guide. You can also rent the area for a wedding! It was really pretty and very neat to ride the boat through the cave, my son loved it. Also I think its less than a 20 minute walk to the cave or for the start of the cave tour. They are kid/baby friendly as we took a 9 year old and a 9 month old on the tour. The gift shop had lots of cute knickknacks too! We didnt have a wait to buy the tickets but we had about a 20 minute wait from time we purchased tickets until our tour actually began, which was totally fine with us as there was plenty to see to occupy our time.

2nd time here. 1st time seeing the butterfly exhibit. I love that they did it, but dislike that people touch them too much. The boat cave tour was amazing. Hannah was a great guide (5/28/23). Loved hearing the history of this place. Please go out and support this amazing little wonder!

This tour was good, not great, but a nice stop if you have extra time near Mammoth Cave.
This was the only truly wet cave we ventured to. It was a nice albeit short boat ride through the cave. Our tour guide Emma-Claire was so passionate and informative. You could tell she was interested in what she was talking about, and did a great job of inserting humor in with the history.
The cave is very pretty and the gift shop has a good selection of trinkets and handmade goods from local artisans.
This wouldn’t be a tour I would repeat, and think the price doesn’t necessarily match the length and overall experience, but still glad we experienced it.

Just got done with the boat tour and loved it. What a unique experience! Our group had a toddler and it was great—they had kid-sized life vests (required for those under 13). This seems pretty doable for different activity levels, with these two things in mind: 1) there is a bit of a walk to get to the start, so give yourself extra time, 2) at one point on the boat you have to duck pretty far down so as not to hit your head. Staff was really knowledgeable and friendly. Nice visitor center and bathrooms. Other activities available and spaces for picnics—could spend several hours here. This is run by a nonprofit. Would totally recommend to others and go again!

Such a cool experience! The short walk back up the hill is worth it! Our guide was so knowledgeable and had great dad jokes! The cave is beautiful. Was hoping it was bigger but hey its a cave!

Tour guide is very passionate and knowledgeable about the cave and knows how to deliver information to audiences with different ages. It was fun listening to all the information he gave to the tour group.
Lots of interaction between the tourist and the guide, pointing out formations of the rock, and ducking our heads down to squeeze in through the cave made up the entire experience
The whole tour was very exciting, and memorable experience. I did not know that Kentucky was full of cave until I got here and learned about it.
Highly recommend to come check this place out! Family-friendly!
I don’t know how often the tickets sell out, but you can book it online or in person!

Absolutely loved it! We had Becky as our tour guide and she did a great job with commentary and history. It’s not a super long tour so you can talk smaller children on it (there are life vests and the water is only around 4 feet deep). Would definitely recommend.

This place is really relaxing and calming. I love coming here when I am in Kentucky. They have a great gift shop and very friendly staff. The grounds are beautiful, there is hiking trails and a butterfly garden that is fun to see. It is a good place to get out in nature. I love seeing the creeks and hearing the water.
The tour is short but I enjoyed the boat ride. You don't go that deep into the cavern but I would definitely recommend coming here. It is beautiful.
Carla Stapleton — Google review
Definitely book this tour! We were searching for a cave tour that is easily accessible as we had two with us that had small mobility issues that could not do much of the hiking which would be involved with the other cave tours around. They both made it up and down to the entrance with ease. Our tour guide was fantastic, knowledgeable and made the adventure enjoyable! The boat tour itself is gorgeous.

We also did the tour and that was so much fun! We encouraged everyone from our guests list to go before the wedding as well!

We came for spring break, and the boat ride through a cave is one of the things our kids were the most excited about. It was their favorite cave tour. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about our experience here. The hiking trails were perfect for our youngest child’s little legs, and well maintained. The boat tour was a lot of fun, and a different experience than the other caves we toured. Something I saw earlier in the week at their gift shop was gone, and they were able to go into their storage area and get exactly what I wanted. It made my day because I came back to the gift shop a few days later specifically hoping that item was still there. Would recommend to anyone!

We had an entertaining tour guide who shared a lot of stories about the cave and area.
The actual time on the boat in the cave was shorter than I was hoping, and you don’t travel very far. Other than that it was fun. I wouldn’t go a second time but I’m glad I did it once.

Great tour to check out the caves. We purchased tickets ahead of time, and the tour was right on schedule. The time in the boat on the water was only prob about 10 min, but it was cool to be down there. If you're in the area, I would recommend adding it to your list of things to do.

This was a different cave experience than what we are used to since this one is in a boat. It isn't a long boat tour but it is interesting. The grounds are very nice and the staff is nice and friendly. Our tour guide was fun. They also have ziplines, a butterfly sanctuary, and nature trails. There is also a very nice gift shop. This is one tour that you probably wouldn't repeat, but it is definitely worth visiting.

A free outdoor museum in south central Kentucky preserves the history of aviation in the area. The park features beautifully restored aircraft and detailed interpretive signs that tell the stories of local aviators.
The park and lake are beautiful. There are white squirrels, ducks, and geese, for anyone interested in wildlife. The aircraft here have interesting and inspiring history. The new indoor hangar is nearly complete and I can't wait to see what they'll do with it!

Even though this park is a work in progress, I give it 5 stars.
This park has some great static displays of aircraft and stories behind each aircraft and their pilots.
I can't wait to come back (fall of 2023) when everything is supposed to be done.
It's definitely worth a stop and it only takes a few minutes to walk around and read about the aircraft.

Found this place by accident while driving around with the kids. I highly recommend stopping for a few minutes if you have young children. Gives them a chance to see some historic aviation planes up close. My favorite one was the huey, my only complaint is its kind of a small outside display but I don't want to knock it because it's free and it's worth checking out. They have a section their building that perhaps is the future indoor museum. I read a lot of the planes are on timed loans which kind of sucks I really think they should stay.

The park was beautiful before, but now that the museum is complete it is absolutely gorgeous. It's so wonderful that they put all this together and it is funded through donations. It looks like they have some room to grow as well. I really loved stepping inside to see some of our local history, and the many accomplishments of citizens from the area that really helped make a more positive world. I also liked that there was an elevator on site to help those with mobility problems to visit the 2nd floor exhibits.

Fantastic place to take the kids for a homeschool trip! There is so much history here and so much LOCAL history, too. We got to go to the ribbon cutting for their grand opening. They could do with a bigger gift shop, in my opinion, but you can tell they're still adding more displays, too. I have a feeling this will be a very well visited place for years to come. Thanks for your service to our counrty and thanks for sharing it here.

The restaurant Chaney's Dairy Barn is a farm that offers self-guided tours and events including activities for children. You can enjoy homemade ice cream, sandwiches, burgers and more while visiting the bucolic South Central Kentucky farmland.
The ice cream is really awesome here. We enjoy eating ice cream in the play area with the grand kids. Though this is little away from the city, it is worth driving here and enjoy in the open countryside environment.
They also host many events for kids and families. We had seen one movie also in the open air, after it gets dark. We are one of their regulars. We come with our guests here and everyone likes a unique experience.

Absolutely love this place. It has a great vibe all the way around. They serve lunch including hamburgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, chicken sandwiches, and a variety of other items. Plenty of places to sit with an upstairs and downstairs as well as an outdoor area. It seems you are encouraged to walk around the property and enjoy. The ice cream is fantastic. Our group all tried something different and they were all amazing. Love the kids area. Huge slides, swings and things to climb on with a barn that overlooks it so you can stay in the shade while you watch your little ones. We'll be back.

Stopped here because of the reviews. Grill food was okay. They can’t accommodate allergies. Ordered meals and they just went back and took off the items instead of remaking them without. Ice cream was good. Chocolate milk was worth the stop. They have a playground for kids. Nice place to stop for ice cream and let kids play.

I Love coming here. They have a fun little gift shop and the ice cream is so well priced and good! Food is also decent.

Unique local restaurant that was recommended to us by a local person. If your in the area and would like to try something other than main stream establishments go here.

Popped in on a Monday night in the summer, and apparently, it was free scoop night. Line was very long but moved fast and when our ice cream was free it made it all worth it! Staff was very nice and place has cool homey items for sale. Playground was very busy with families and the jumping pad thing looked cool. Definitely worth the stop..oh yeah and my ice cream was super decadent and delicious!

We came here to see how the dairy farm works. Wasn't really sure. But it is a fantastic story!! Very educational. Beautiful happy cows!! I wish I could have pet the babies so bad. They were so cute in their little pens off on the side. We had ice cream. Chocolate milk. Burger. Grilled cheese. Potato salad. Everything was great! I did wish that they had the bananas for the banana split but that was all that went south food wise. The ice cream and milk was Chaney's brand and so good and creamy ice cream!! They definitely take good care of their ladies! Happy cows make me happy!!

A Saturday evening adventure with our daughter and granddaughter. We made a dinner / ice cream and a show of it. I had the turkey sandwich it was good processed meat was thinking it would of been sliced turkey but it’s all good I’d eat it again. Service is great atmosphere is nice and there’s a lot of things to do for kids. The movie was free and it was a great experience for us. The ice cream was ok I has the chocolate chip mint ice cream. We would do it again even with the long drive.

Wonderful place for kids of all ages. My family has stopped there for years when we are in the area. I got my 1st coffee cup from them this year.
My kids love the playground even in summer heat. The ice cream is the best in the tri-state area ! This is a must go for families.
Love shopping here! They always have a ton of things to see. Old and new. But you better plan on spending hours here because there is so much to see. Or break it up into 2 days at least so you don't miss anything.

Bright's Antique World is one of the best I've ever visited! My husband and I stop in to shop whenever we're in the area (we live near Cincinnati). The entire staff is top notch, but we really love Jodi! I have no idea how, but she knows every square inch of that place and can direct you to exactly what you're looking for. Believe me when I say that you will LOVE this Mall.

One of my favorite places to go to. Can't tell you how many times I've been here but, it's been a lot. Quite a few times left empty handed but, still loved walking around seeing all the beautiful antiques. Does anyone else ever wonder about their antiques and the story it could tell? What it was around? Or am I the only weirdo that thinks about that?

This place is so big, it is filled with such a variety of antiques that there is something for everyone. I always find fun and interesting items to buy. I am also enjoying the bi monthly flea market that just reopened for the 2023 season. Go you will love it.

You don’t need it if you can’t find it here. Wide assortment of antiques and collectibles. Super helpful staff. The outdoor flea market is now on the schedule (see website). Huge covered area that was about half full of vendors. It’s billed as vintage and meet up to that. Parking no problem, restrooms clean. There was a food vendor outside. If you have trouble on uneven terrain, have someone drop you off or park near the outdoor complex.

Don't trust the owner of booth 17. Bought a small cast iron pot and found out the small sticky spot on the bottom was actually some kind of tarry patch. Heated the bottom after trying to clean it and it started bubbling. Should have went with Amazon, sad thing to say

Bright's is one of the best antique malls at which I have shopped. They have unique, exceptional customer service with roving employees who are constantly near to help. They promptly open locked cases, hold selections at the front desk for you while you peruse, or provide you with a tray/basket for smaller selections. The booths are also well organized, with their diverse wares pleasingly presented. I highly recommend dropping in at Bright's to find the treasure you never knew you were missing.

Very awesome place! The only downside is that some of these booths have their pieces too overpriced which to my guess is they want to show off but not let go of their pieces. But if you ignore the high priced stuff which is like 10% of the store then it’s worth looking at!!

I've been a customer of Bright's Antique World for at least 15 years and a vendor with a case for about 7 months and just decided to add a booth at month's end. Gotta get rid of stuff, much of which I bought at BAW! As a customer, I've frequented as many as 4 times a month or more --from 25 miles away. Jodi and the gang have been diligent in customer satisfaction. She is a business person with a longview of keeping the customer coming back. Love Bright's Antique World!

I am actually Jimmie, not the other post. Normally we go in Brights several times a month and buy several idems, but this Saturday we went in, and as we were paying, a worker there, let the manager know that we had a prior deal with a vendor and she could call him. The manager was absolutely the rudest I have ever seen in retail to us, as well as there employee. The owner called me back and said she was just from the north and was just blunt. I left it at that untill, he replied back on a post that my family left, saying that he had to give discounts back, which was not the case, on our behalf, because the manager called the vendor, right in front of us, to verify the transaction made pryor, before we came in. We will not come back! If he had reviewed the tapes and sound, on the tapes, as said, he would have heard her being absolutely rude, to a paying customer, as we spent much, that day. Sad too, because it was a nice place to shop. I have heard others talk about this particular manager and her rudeness.

Ive been going to The Mint casino, Franklin, TN for a year now. I love this casino’s atmosphere but I have been in there almost every weekend playing high bets and have not won any good money! The most I’ve won was $1,875 and Ive spent THOUSANDs of dollars in this place. I have a membership/rewards card and I’ve been Gold, platinum, Diamond 3 times! Have never won a Major or jackpot. The payouts are ridiculous! You have to keep feeding the Machine for free spins to still not win any good money. I thought casinos would keep up with their members and reward those that consistently come back because it is a business! They have to do better with people who’s in there playing all the time for the love of just being at their casino. We are the people that consistently come back! Unfortunately for them I’m not going back. They made too much money off me for small payouts. ✌🏾

The Mint is always fun, clean, and safe. I go late morning, every 6 weeks or so. Yesterday I had $5 in free slot play, and hit the Lucky Leprechaun for $50.60 just playing minimum bet, then hit it again for $35.25. No wonder it's always occupied and couples "tag team it" so no one can get on it!
Moved to my other favorite machine near the restrooms (big white tiger on front display), put in 2 $5 bills, got a bonus round, hit it for $55.70. Not bad for an hour of fun! They have a lot of fun perks for slot club members, not crowded weekdays. There were bonus round bells going off all around me. I hear the birthday perks are also great - a friend got $200 cash + $75 free slot play, then hit a PacMan machine for $240!!

We were just traveling through and we saw a billboard and we thought we would stop. It seems like a pretty new place. Was very clean it wasn't too smoky, but it was early on a Sunday when we were traveling and maybe all the smokers weren't there yet. They did have a non-smoking area up on the second floor, but it was very small and very few games. My husband and I being non-smokers, my husband an ex-smoker we really would like to see casinos really expand their non-smoking areas.

I love the atmosphere and ease of the games. I just need to be more careful with the bets. Not every game is the same minimum bet. However, it's still a great place to visit, and don't forget to join the players club! I love the promotions they have going on. Bingo is upstiars. The friendliness of the game was so refreshing. Plenty of time to dab your cards, and they have electronic bingo! Will be trying that out next time. If you get hungry, the cafe has a great burger! The Mint Cheeseburger and the Mushroom Swiss burger are super good and decently prices. I haven't gone to the Iron Steakhouse as that is way above my budget. However, i hear good things.

Worst dining experience ever! If the steak house closes at 9pm offer quick options. Waiting in line for 40 minutes. Every table was dirty & had dishes on it. Waited for food for over an hour… when on floor impossible to find a waitress to take drink order. Don’t waste your time go to

To be honest I want to give it one star because I never ever win here but I'm not really that petty LOL. The reason I gave it four stars though is because I'm a semi truck driver and there's no parking for us at all so you have to walk about a mile from the truck stop to get to it. Just a warning it is a smoking casino for all you non-smokers there is a non-smoking area but but it still travels. Whenever I visit there under construction so it looked like half their parking lot was under construction too so not a whole lot of parking but they're still a good amount the casino was clean itself and it looked like they were walking around sterilizing machines so it seems safe enough.

Great place to go when you are ready to lose money. Disclaimer, casinos aren't in the business to lose money. If you are feeling lucky, the place is filled with a great amount of slot machines that have different ranges for betting. This place allows smoking inside and high limit area. There is a full bar inside as well a great food dinning area. The players club staff was friendly and helpful. The cashier's also was very polite. Highly recommend going all positive experiences that is not based on wins or loses.

The Mint Gaming Hall in Franklin, KY is a great experience and a lot of fun. The staff are wonderful and the place is very clean. They aren't just a place to just play slots, they also celebrate people's birthdays, they do giveaways like every hour, and they send offers and free play to you in the mail as an incentive to keep coming back and to let you know they appreciate the people that come out and play. So in reality even if you don't win while you're there playing slots, you're still a winner by everything they just give you for being a free club member. So thank you for everything you do and keep up the good work🙂

Came here to see what a $20 bill turned into. Lost my bill. The place smelled like a mixture of bleach and cigarette smoke. Beer was nice and cold. Bartender was friendly and knowledgeable.

The menu looks originally and includes food you won’t find anywhere else in this area. Check it out!

We have been going to this casino every week for the last year and a half and found it absolutely a lot of fun. It's always clean and everyone is so nice. However, in the last month they've changed the machines and now it seems that they are not paying like they used to. That's a little disheartening though we're not going to give up but we talked about giving it another month to see if it's any better. Coming up here was really a fun part of our lives. We didn't win all the time. We didn't lose either but it was the challenge of each time we went
Now. Not so much. The new machines seem to take the fun away.

My first time at the THE MINT WAS NICE. It's located between Nashville. TN and Bowling Green Ky. I stopped by there on Superbowl Sunday and made it in time for the OT. It was Awesome. TVs were all the way around the bar. I noticed other rooms but really didn't have time. I was able to play some slot machines that are push buttons nowadays. I'm used to going to Derby City Gaming and Hotel in Louisville Kentucky. Not far from the airport.
But I did enjoy the The Mint. Worth checking out if you're in the area. They (The MINT) close early.

Great place to go and unwind from the everyday grind. Only problem is they NEVER have enough drink servers on the floor.

Absolutely love their variety of slots! However maybe it's cuz I'm new to the whole big Casino scene how but it just didn't seem like it paid out enough for me especially not when I can just go to Baxter from Cookeville and when at least my money back nearly every time if not double it why go nearly 2 hours away from home when I can just go 10 minutes away? It's a beautiful place wish there was more kiosk and space though seems like the line just to go to the kiosk to do the promo play took nearly an hour
The experience here was one of the best...the people and atmosphere can not be beat...the strawberry wine is a must to try...left with 3 bottles of it...the service is some of the best and hospitable I've had on the road from Texas to West Virginia...keep doing what you are doing girls!!!...I'll be ordering for shipping soon!!!

Very nice stop, so convenient to I65. Staff were very friendly and we did do a wine tasting (in fact my husband did 2). I chose the fruity flavors and they were very refreshing after a long drive. No electric hook up but it did cool down enough in the evening so we could sleep. Gift shop was filled with wine related items and, if not traveling in such a small RV, I would have purchased several items.

We stayed here for the night via Harvest Host. This is the cutest Winery I have ever been to! Their decorations are so Winery inspired. They have so many cute camping & wine items for sale too which was an unexpected delight! Of course everything we tried to eat was delicious, along with all of the different fruit flavored wines we sampled. We liked the peach wine the best but that's what we typically drink, so we got a bottle of their Tennessee Blackberry wine instead. It was very delicious. The best part of all was the excellent customer service from Trish & LaWanda! They made our visit so fun! You deserve to make a stop here if you are heading north or south on I-65!

Cute winery and #HarvestHosts with super friendly and accommodating owners/staff.
We arrived this afternoon and the owner helped us get parked in a boondocking site (our preference) out of the way as we won't Friday until tomorrow afternoon as we work remotely from the road.
They have homemade chicken salad and pimento cheese's in addition to an impressive wine list. We shared a flight and found we really liked one of their reds.
Think we'll be hitting them up tomorrow at lunch time before we hit the road again. I just live stupid like these! 🤩

This place is awesome. My dad came in for a visit from Illinois and my daughter and I surprised him with a trip to the winery. We did the $30 tasting which included a beautiful platter of cheeses, fruits, crackers and their chicken salad which was delicious and sample the many different types of wines they make and the history of each along with a tour of their chandelier room which had several beautiful chandeliers and a collection of antique furniture where parties and bridal showers are held. The staff was wonderful and Karen who did our tasting was very knowledgeable about the wines and the history of the winery. If your looking for a quaint place to go and enjoy some wine this is the place to go.

We stayed through Harvest host again. This time we arrived too late to partake in a tasting, but staff was still fantastic. The owner was very communicative and hopeful and when we went in to the winery the next morning to pick up a few small items, the girl behind the counter was extremely friendly. We got some chicken salad to have for lunch on the road and it was delicious! We will definitely be back the next time we're through town.

Sumner Crest Winery is a very nice place. We did a wine tasting and had lunch in the chandelier room. The staff was very informative and helpful. I was on a knee scooter and they were very accommodating to that. Great,great wines. We will definitely be back. I highly recommend Sumner Crest Winery.
We had a tour of the house at the first tour time which was wonderful. It wasn't busy & I was thankful for that helped with social distancing the lady that gave us the tour of the house was very knowledgeable & gave us lots of information. Dress for the weather the house isn't climate controlled like our modern houses & the building tends to be what the weather is. The visitors center is at the back behind the house along with a parking area. They have a garden & a pond. Just a very interesting house. They also have a ticket that allows you to see wynnewood also if you plan on doing both buy that it's a good discount.

Our visit to Cragfont, Castelian Springs, was part of Spirits of Sumner Historic Haunts Tour, a bus tour to 5 historic locations in Sumner County, TN. Cragfont was our first stop after leaving Rosemont. It is located on Avery Trace, the original road which settlers traveled from the east coast to Knoxville to Nashville, and today is TN ST HWY 25, Castellian Springs, TN. Cragfont was the home of Gen. James Winchester, a hero of the American Revolution. The site was quickly established as a fort and used in westward expansion. It has a colorful history, is located on beautiful land, and has its own ghost stories. It is a must see.

Cragfont is truly amazing and and should be on everyone's historic home bucket list. On our tour, we learned construction for the historic home began in 1798 and was completed four years later. The front features seven stars, the decorative part of an amazing house stabilizing system. We found each one hides a huge bolt which connects to a rod spanning the width of the house and presumably can be tightened in the event the house needs it. Inside, there's rooms furnished with heirlooms from General James Winchester's family, amazing to think this expansive collection from his decendants exists. Finally, it was amazing our tour guide was a direct decendant. She offered so many details and stories only a family member would know. The tour includes walking through the beautiful gardens and the family cemetery. It's a wonderful tour and a pleasant way to spend our time. I highly recommend Cragfont for anyone interested in history, architecture and construction or lovely gardens.

Rich in history. I absolutely love and respect this place. I have been here several times, took my children here and now they are adults. We live only 31 minutes from here... and if you're lucky enough you may encounter a past resident that lived here.
Former Native American hunting ground now features a lake, campsites & 6+ miles of hiking trails.
We had an amazing two week stay at the campground. The staff were incredibly friendly. All the facilities were incredibly clean and the entire grounds were well maintained.
With the gated entry and the ranger always nearby we felt incredibly safe at all hours of the night
The camp hosts were always around and eager to help. They provided recommendations on restaurants, nearby activities and other state parks to visit. I found their firewood to be a better deal than that from stores in town.
The wildlife was plentiful and very accustomed to people. Often I would enjoy my morning coffee with a whole herd of deer about 25 feet from my window.

Bledsoe park is relatively small as state parks go, but offers nice easy trails and areas that are perfect for the whole family. Just behind the visitor's center is a paved trail area that's perfect for kids and those less mobile. There is a large playground and a few game areas too. The Shoreline trail will take you all the way around the park and is about 4 miles of easy to moderate difficulty (mostly easy but there is a section that goes down to the lakefront that's a little steep). No fishing or swimming at this park though.

It's one of the top 5 on my list because the trails are well blazed and the amenities are great. Any monies that park received was well used for visitors center, restrooms, playground and trails. The RV camping is near trails and lake. They also offer Storybook trail for children that is the 2nd one I've seen so far in the park's I've visited. There's a few docks to stop and take pic's of Lake and the trails connect if wanting to hike further. So so many 🦌 everywhere plus plenty of bird sightings. Easy terrain you can do without heavy boots. Just a wonderful easy hike with friends and family. Enjoy. 🦌🐿🐦🐢🦃🐾

Bledsoe Creek is a small State Park, but it offers camping, hiking, boating, playground, and history. One of the trails is set up for children, educating them on the foliage and wildlife in the park. Some trails are paved, making them suitable for handicap access. Dogs are permitted on the trails. There are lots of benches making even a casual walk enjoyable. The longest trail is a combination of the Lakeside and High trails and is suitable for training for a 5K run. Its total length is about 3.1 miles. The park provides a safe environment for families since it is regularly patrolled by Rangers. Cell reception is strong enough to play music on my phone throughout the park.

The rangers and other staff are always so nice! Good hiking with a varied terrain. Watch out for little tree roots along the lake edge - they will trip you up! Great visitor center. Really like this park.

I've been hiking Bledsoe for 25 years. It is one of the best places to hike to maintain endurance without having to drive a long distance. Give their trails a try! Also very family friendly! Great staff, too!

Beautiful campground. Super friendly park rangers. Clean restrooms. Large campsites.
A couple negatives: sign on restroom says showers cost $5, pay at office. Arriving early isn't a good here. You I'll have to wait at the boat launch til your site is clean.
Despite those two things, it's still a great place to camp!
We have our family reunion here every year. It is fabulous because the building is air conditioned and has tables, chairs, full kitchen with service window!! Huge commercial ice maker too! We get there early and set up tables and chairs however we like them. Then start prepping the food and drinks. There are mens and women's 3 stall bathrooms. Then after we get everything going, we can go out and about. We walk all over fiddlers grove looking in the cabins, hospital, kitchens, old train and general store. Every one of them tells a story! Sometimes there are shows going on you can enjoy as well! They have swings and benches nestled under huge shade trees, perfect for people who rather relax a while instead of walking all through fiddlers grove. When you are done just clean up and leave it like you found it!! It is definitely worth a look, you will love it!! The tree in my pics has names carved in the leaves....that's why so many pics of it!😁

Beautiful and nostalgic, Fiddlers Grove Historic Village is not to be missed! I was blessed that the location was the backdrop for a new television series I made a couple of appearances on - so I had access to poke around without any crowds. The village is beyond charming with its General Store, Post Office and Jail among SO many other restored buildings from the past. Being about 30 minutes outside of Nashville - it's absolutely worth the trip and visit when in the area. Highly recommended.

When people talk about "old timey," this is it. Put your feet up, sit back. Sooner or later somebody is going to strike up a fiddle tune. The village is preserved to a high archeological standard.
This is a great outlet! Easy access off of I-40. My family stops every time we are in the area. It’s not at full capacity but it is a great place to shop.

Sadly more than half of these stores are no more! It was about to rain and we were already there so we decided to check out what was there. We enjoyed the stores that were there and open, the staff through out was grateful we were there, also. We went in where the food court would be and the restrooms were still open. We made a silly video acting like it was an abandoned mall, stephie likes those kinda of places and videos.

What stores they have left are fine - the Eddie Bauer, et. al - except for the toy store, which is selling dollar store fare. That said, the outlets are decidedly desolate. About half the storefronts are vacant, and two are taken by churches. Only one of the food court restaurants (out of about three) was open when I visited. Needs an infusion of new stores desperately.

Nice little Outlet. Right off highway RT40.
Has one of the few Nike Factory Clearance Centers. This is also where the gas ($2.07) is cheapest in area.😁 This is a standard outdoor mall setting...a few store fronts closed...going the way of the dinosaurs. This still a worthwhile place to go shop in person....eight off expressway. Good Christmas deals going on right now throughout outlet area.
The Historic Rock Castle is a museum with exhibits about the pioneer life in America during the 18th century, as well as General Daniel Smith's role in the Revolutionary War and his later career as a U.S. Senator and Indian Negotiator. The grounds of the castle are also filled with period gardens and a park-like setting that makes it an excellent venue for private events.
I attended with my daughter's field trip which only cost me $5 to park with no admission fee. There are items you can buy there with cash or venmo. Lots of interesting sights and to see the way things are made at each tent or station. Super informative trip.

We visited this place on a Sunday afternoon. Emmy was our tour guide and she was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Tennessee as well as historic place.

A lovely historic site on a lake. Nice venue for a wedding and those in the wedding party were very appreciative of the staff who helped. I was surprised and glad that they had closed this park to the public for this small(ish)...200 .... wedding. So, it may not be inexpensive, but it was perfect. Lovely landscaping and on a lake. The wedding was held out on the grounds with the backdrop of an old (well preserved) historic home. The reception, dinner and dance was held in a pavilion that had plenty of room. So....if you're considering an event, I'd encourage you to look here.😊

Very cool, excellent tour guide and neat gift shop. Several local artisan products. The children were very happy we went!
What an amazing find!!!! There is pottery art everywhere - from the moment you make your way up the drive to the studio buildings, and even in the foundation (pieces inlaid into the walkways). My Mom and I were graciously received and given the full tour of the kiln, glazes and shown how the stamping on the pieces were made. Of course we purchased a couple of items and picked out a complimentary gift of a magnet. Take a moment out of the fast-paced world to visit the oldest functional product ever created by man. Great for families with children, teenagers and adults. Stop on by, you won't regret the time spent here. We will return when back in the area.

Unique pieces placed along the drive give you an idea that this couple love their craft. Lee & Marshall met us as we parked.

Would Highly recommend this establishment.

Beautifully crafted pottery made with a very creative eye. Owners are delightful to interact with. A lovely experience.
The Hermitage plantation, a Greek Revival mansion museum and historic site, was the residence of Andrew Jackson, the seventh President of the United States. Situated on 1100 acres of land, it encompasses the mansion, gardens with a tomb, former cotton fields, and 19th-century cabins that housed enslaved individuals. A tour of this Nashville attraction provides insights into Jackson's life and character as well as information about the lives of those enslaved on the plantation.
Absolutely beautiful scenery. We did the mansion tour and the grounds access and there was so much to explore. It was really cool to feel you are walking through history and learn about the lives of everyone who lived there. I would recommend about 3 to 4 hours to do everything. We came around 4 and did not have enough time to see everything. I enjoy history and reading everything so it does take me a bit longer to get through everything. If you like just looking at pictures may need a little less time! But definitely give yourself enough time so you do jot have to rush! Would recommend.

The tour was straight to the point, didn't take forever either, maybe 30 minutes. The walk around the whole area was pleasant, and there's even a horse carriage ride you can take, don't know if you have to pay as I didn't take it. The price, in my opinion, was hefty for a little piece of history, coming in at $24 per adult. But it was a very nice day out so walking around and looking at old buildings was kind of relaxing.
As for what there is to look at, it's mainly Andrew Jackson's house with a few buildings you can walk into but there's not much in them and they're very small, I believe they have an event we're they play some older sport.
The gift shop was mediocre, mainly books about stuff other than the president.
There's "Wine Tasting" but no one was in there when I went in so, can't give you details on that, sorry!
Overall, it was a good way to waste a few hours of my day, enjoyably.
P.S.
Also, I met two awesome folks from PA during the tour and got my picture with them, however I forgot their names, if you two guys are reading this, feel free to follow me on here and I'll try and find a way to get in touch!

The website advertises that there is a winery and that you can stroll outside while drinking a glass of wine. I had to specifically ask where the winery was because it wasn’t marked well. Once I got there, I found out I couldn’t walk around with the wine due to construction at the museum entrance. Otherwise it was great.

We had time between arrival and check in so we decided to stop and lock the grounds. We had about an hour wait before I could tour the mansion. There's plenty to do from the museum to the wine tasting to walk in the grounds to make that time go by very quickly. The grounds are gorgeous. All of the varieties of trees are very interesting. Thinking that some of them are hundreds of years old is incredible.

There is a lot of construction for up dates being done. I was able to get around with my scooter. I couldn't go into the house with the scooter, but I was able to walk and sit once inside.

The Mansion Tour was nice.
They showed a short 25-minute movie about this place and the people
who had lived there.
The mansion was air-conditioned, which was good because of the extremely hot summer weather that week.
The four tour guides were nice and friendly and they gave our tour
a lot of interesting knowledge
about Andrew Jackson and his life
before and after his presidency.
They even politely answered our questions.
And we asked them a few.
It was my first time visiting here.
I bought some nice souvenirs.
Those ladies who worked in the gift shop were nice, friendly, and helpful.
We got a ride from an older gentleman
in a golf cart from the Mansion
back to the Museum and gift shop.
He told my husband
that he could drive for him.
I thought he was teasing;
but he was serious.
My husband talked to him
and we thanked him profusely for the ride.
We were tired of walking,
and it was so hot out
that we really appreciated that ride.
The other people, like us,
were hot and tired,
and I'm sure they also appreciated
that ride as well.
I would take our children
and grandchildren
back here to learn some
of our nation's history.

Very informative and a great experience. Definitely book the house tour. Some certain folks will always object to Andrew Jackson because he was a slave owner, but black people owned slaves too, so get over it, and there was a very close friendship bond with him and those that worked for him. The best fact to learn about Andrew Jackson, was that he owned a parrot, and it had to be removed from his funeral service cause it was cussing at all those present. That's my kind of bird!
Mark Manwell — Google review
Amazing home with lots of history about Andrew Jackson and his home. We did half hour mansion tour which included the grounds. They also have self guided audio tours which you can download on your phone in which you can roam around the grounds on your own. We also went onto the horse drawn tour. We spent about 5 hours here and just took our time wandering the grounds. Keep an eye. You may see a bunch of turkeys or a mole burrowing in his hole.

We chose to do the VIP tour. It was great. I really enjoy having a knowledgeable person explain to me what I am looking at. Otherwise, I just blow past everything too quickly.
The grounds are absolutely beautiful. I could just spend the day walking outside enjoying the plants, wildlife, and scenery.
The house is really well preserved with a lot of the original stuff. It was very impressive.
We learned a lot about Jackson. His story is quite impressive. I'm so glad we visited. This is one of the better presidential places we have been.

We did the outside tour only. It was great. It wasn't about the money. The difference in price was four dollars. But we were able to self pace the outside, rather than going at the guide's speed. We saw much of the Hermitage's ground floor through the windows. Highlights for us were the history of enslaved people and the gardens, including the Jackson burial cupola. Plus, we visited the wine tasting area. Very nice.

This home and plantation are well preserved. Tour guides were professional and very knowledgeable. The entire of the home is awesome, especially the mural, and how much is authentic.
Well kept grounds and other out buildings. Peaceful area.
The museum was excellent and full of great information about Andrew Jackson and had good information on the slaves he owned, too. Some great insights into life during his time and some details of his life.
Wish we could have taken photos inside (only reason not giving a 5 star rating). I understand why, with 80% of the items there being Jackson's belongings or from his family and so are very old and to preserve them, they ask for no photos.

I came here on a Monday afternoon and was basically the only person in the whole place! I did the “In Their Footsteps” tour and it was super informative, I’d highly recommend it.

We enjoyed touring the Hermitage. My son and I enjoy learning about history together. He is 7 years old. I have visited two times, but my first visit was about 25 years ago on a school field trip. This visit was like new to me. We had a great time. The premium guided tour is worth the price. I 100% recommend going that route. We spent about 3 hours touring the grounds and mansion. There is a lot of walking and standing, so be sure to wear some good shoes.

The day was chilly and misty so we didn’t have to wait. It was also early season which can add to less people. The house and grounds are a definite stop if you’re in the area. I wish we were there a couple of weeks later and we could have seen more in the garden.

As a fan of Andrew Jackson, this was an absolute thrill! I loved walking through history and trying to feel it as though I was there. The two tour guides in the house acted as though they were indentured servants forced to guide us through the house and showed little enthusiasm for their jobs. I loved the museum on site and thought it to be a thorough look at Andrew Jackson and his life and home. Despite the despondent tour guides and the harrowing price of admission, I believe this to be a true delight for any fan of history.

AJ'S crib and the grounds were awesome. This place is America's history. Make sure you walk the grounds and the house.
Also, be sure and check out the family cemetery. It's bizarrely interesting.
The staff here were awesome. They were very knowledgeable and friendly to boot.
This is a slice of Americana. AJ's is a great story. From orphan to soldier to businessman to President. Wow. Though, understandably, his policies are painful reminders for indigenous and African American people. Again, justifiably so.
The grounds are immaculate, and the house is even cleaner. I thoroughly enjoyed myself here, and I may have even learned a thing or three.

Very educational. The tour of the house was a lot of fun. I learned a lot about Andrew Jackson, our 7th president. Almost everything is original to the house. There were some things that were replicas, but not a lot. The grounds are beautiful. There are a lot of trees that are huge and very old, and they provide shade.

Well worth the visit. Very close to the airport so even if you only have a couple of hours, you can see and learn lot.
Matthew at the ticket booth gave great advice on how to make the most of our time. The greeter (and movie operator) at the main doors was very helpful too (didn't catch her name).
Movie and exhibits well worth the price alone. But then the mansion tour is very well done. It's about a 30min guided tours with tag-team type guiding (different guides for different sections of the mansion). All did a great job and we're very helpful with questions or special needs (we had someone in a wheelchair in our party and everyone was super accommodating).
We didn't get to see it all but hope to attend again.
Btw, If you are in a wheelchair there are steps (only) to the upstairs of the house. If that's impossible, at it probably is if you are in a wheelchair, they do have a notebook with pictures and explanations for you to review while the tour continues in that section. Everything else was very wheelchair accessible.

The house and grounds were beautiful. I learned a lot about this president that I didn't know. The museum was really nice. Everything was clean and well maintained. The staff was all very friendly and knowledgeable.
900-acre park featuring rock gardens & rare plants, plus 8 miles of trails for hiking & riding.
Cedars' of Lebanon is a really nice state part. We stayed 3 nights in our Travel Trailer. The campground host was very friendly and helpful. The campsite we were at was a bit small and close to the next camper, but there were many others to choose from that were more spacious and shaded. There is plenty of hiking in and around the park. I really enjoyed the boulder beds on the Cedar Forest Trail, but the special habitat of this region is the limestone glades. Glades range from bare rock to a thin substrate of soil with desert-like vegetation to shallow soil grasslands. The glades may be small or large open areas surrounded by cedar trees. When we were there in late winter there was not much to be seen in the way of wildflowers, but the trails were very quiet and pleasant. Also, if you want to spend a day in the city, Nashville is less than 45 minutes away.

We stayed here in early October with family and friends and it was a perfect long weekend. We stayed in a camper in campsite 3 on one of the more private lots. It was the first weekend that the weather started getting really cool at night so we really enjoyed the campfire. The amenities are great at this park. Firewood is easily accessible at the store and very affordable. There are several parks with swings, slides, and jungle gyms which was a big deal for my 4 year old. For any grocery needs there is a very well stocked dollar general less than a mile up the road, and an Aldis not far away. There are showers on site and while they aren't perfect, the water gets nice and hot and they are spacious. The only issue is there is no curtain or partition to keep your clothes and toiletries bag from getting wet. Best advice- put it in the farthest corner near the door and if you have a trash bag put it over your stuff. The park itself is beautiful. There are deer everywhere and all kinds of other wildlife. The hiking trails are great as well. Overall we really enjoyed Cedars of Lebanon and we will definitely be back in the near future.

There are clean restrooms inside the visitor center and a half mile loop hiking trial.
There are shelters, picnic tables, kids play area, tennis court, beautiful butterfly garden and information center.

Campgrounds and Cabin are available which can be reserved online or at the check-in station.
Beautiful place to be irrespective of the time of the year!

First time camping here. We had a great experience!
Online reservations for booking a campsite was easy. Price was great and you had an option to round up your cost to donate to the park. **PET FRIENDLY**
Campground 1 sites are closer together than campground 2 & 3’s. But great atmosphere either way. Cabins are offered here too.
Bathrooms were clean. The showers (at least in the ladies restroom at campground 1) did not have a shower curtain; but if you hang your stuff on the hooks your things should stay dry.
There is a spot to do laundry here if you’re a camper. We did not use this amenity, but it’s great to know for future!
A few playgrounds, a few trails, lots of nature!
Heavy ranger presence at the parks, which I was surprised by- but thankful for.
Staff was super friendly at check in and purchasing firewood at the gift shop/check in office. A gas station for basics is right outside the park, and there is a Dollar general down the road and further down the road is a Walmart
We will definitely be back!

I rented a space for my camper for drill weekend to save some money! I got there late and found that the space I rented needed a converter for my plug! When I made the reservation I told them 30 amp…luckily there was a helpful neighbor that had one or I would have west all night. I had to buy one from their store. There went some of the money I saved…next time it’s a hotel room for me

Winner in all ways. Great staff, and they do a great job of maintaining the park. Beautiful sites and in the AAA section big rigs have NO problems fitting or maneuvering. Very cool nature center/butterfly and hummer gardens. And there is a cave you can explore with a wash station after spelunking. Very clean bathrooms and showers. Close to Nashville too.

We booked an RV spot for overnight camping and we enjoyed the peace, quiet and secure spot. The shower and restroom was right opposite to area 3 with heaters and hot water which was such a plus on a cold morning. The park was almost full in December which definitely gave us the impression that Cedar park is very popular. All the amenities were as expected.
We ended up hiking a 2 mile trail and we saw many deers and squirrels which was pretty exciting for my dogs!
There wasn’t any check in process which helped us coming in late at night and we ended up spending a rather slow morning before heading out.
The park is very well maintained with rangers around during the day.

We had camped here before and really liked the place. This time was different. Our site was not cleaned prior to our arrival. Had to clean beer cans and aluminum foil from the fire ring. Our grille had dozens of cigarette butts in it, so we used our own grill. A nearby site had a couple that played loud music and commercials that resounded throughout the campground. Not the park's fault, unless they allow it to continue, which they did. The same campers used the sink in the bathroom to wash their dishes (gross), and left trash on their site that was still there 2 days after they left. Exactly what are the camp hosts doing? Since there is not much to do in the area, without going to Nashville, I doubt we'll return.

This Park's Staff are truly pros! Our hiking club wanted to have a Christmas party in one of the shelters. That particular shelter was undergoing repairs on the fireplace. Having a shelter with a working fireplace was an essential part of our plan...and comfort. Prior to me reserving the shelter, Park staff member Teresa consulted with the Park manager and maintenance personnel to confirm the firm completion date of the repair. Not only was the fireplace completed in time for our party, Teresa communicated throughout the process to ease my peace of mind. I'll be honest, rarely have my experiences dealing with any aspect of the State of Tennessee been handled with efficiency and dispatch. This time however, it was. Very professional. The shelter was repaired, tidy and clean for our party. They even left the (super clean) bathrooms open this late in the year for us! Could not be happier. THANK YOU to all that helped with getting the shelter ready!!

Cedars of Lebanon State Park is a remarkable natural haven, nestled in the heart of Tennessee's Central Basin. This park is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the region's landscapes.
One of the standout features of this park is its captivating trails. These trails wind through a landscape that is both lovely and challenging, making them a treat for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts seeking adventure. The terrain, sprinkled with rocky grounds and small caves, adds an element of excitement to the hiking experience. Exploring these trails offers a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in the rugged beauty of the area.
The park's rich natural history is equally fascinating. The presence of cedar glades, a natural rock garden ecosystem, is a true gem. The thin or absent soil, coupled with limestone rock close to the surface, creates a harsh yet distinctive habitat that hosts nineteen rare and endangered plant species found nowhere else in the world. This ecological diversity is a testament to the park's significance in preserving Tennessee's unique natural heritage.
Cedars of Lebanon State Park is a destination that not only offers a chance to connect with nature but also provides a glimpse into the area's historical roots.
For those seeking outdoor adventure, a deep dive into Tennessee's natural beauty, or simply a place to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life, Cedars of Lebanon State Park is a captivating destination. Whether you're an avid hiker, a nature enthusiast, or someone looking to explore the rich history of the region, this park has something special to offer. Enjoy your journey through this remarkable slice of Tennessee's wilderness!

Would definitely recommend this park. it's a nice place to bring your pets get some exercise and enjoy the relaxing setting. I always try and bring a bag to help pick up garbage while playing Disc Golf. Help keep the place looking great!

We love camping here. The campsites are good for RVs and Tent (we are tent campers). The bathhouse is decent and temperature controlled. There is a good disc golf course and three playgrounds. 😀 Our favorite thing to do here is the annual Halloween campground trick or treating. Also, a good place to get married as they have beautiful buildings.

Our stay was short and sweet but it was our 3rd stay because we love it! This time we were just stopping to break up our drive home but we were able to take a nice long walk and smell the incredible aromatic cedar trees and that can’t be beat! At night we had a roaring fire that also smelled like heaven. We left very early in the morning with regrets that we couldn’t stay longer. We will be back!!!

Haven't stayed there yet but seems like a really neat looking place. Campsites are way too expensive compared to other places you can camp in middle Tennessee. $40 a night for a campsite is reasonable but they quoted me $50 ish and that was before tax and fees . (Or that's the way I understood it. Cabins are also a bit high priced, even in the off season when nobodys renting them. When I went through there I only saw one cabin for rented and they were still charging $156 a night on the smallest one in the off season. It was cold out lol. Think they should be more reasonable with there prices, especially when they can't even rent them or potentially keep them rented for the price they charge (just my opinion, may not be the case. I only visited the park once . I drove around in there and looked at everything for a couple hours, stopped and asked questions at the front desk etc.

Great place for hiking whether you are looking for short, easy trails, moderate trails, or even multi-hour long hikes. Cedars is beautiful year round and the staff at the welcome center are incredibly helpful and kind!

This is definitely a place to visit. The park is beautiful. The visitor center is amazing. Katherine was such a pleasure to spend time with. We were able to make survival bracelets with her. She was very knowledgeable about the wildlife in the area. We also got to watch the snakes feed. What a great place!
The Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center is an upscale establishment situated near Nashville International Airport and the vibrant downtown area. It boasts a grand scale luxury experience with its glass atriums, indoor gardens, and pools. The resort offers a variety of amenities such as a spa, dining options, and even an indoor river. Its location on the banks of the Cumberland River provides a picturesque setting for guests to enjoy.
Remember to use Hoᴛᴇʟʙoʟʟʏ.ᴄᴏm when booking a resort. This site will compare hundreds of booking websites and normally will have prices a lot cheaper compared to others! You're welcome :)! This hotel is one of the highest rated in this area. I have been staying here for a very long time. If you stay for a few days you definitely won't regret it.
Great place!! My church goes here for an event called lads 2 leaders. It’s always so fun walking around and exploring the place yearly!! I look forward to my weekend visit year-around. Except… Last year on Easter weekend this lady was being so rude to me and my family and kept following me and my friends everywhere we went which was really not that fun at all!! She ended up getting kicked out and we had an enjoyable weekend I love it here! I would completely recommend it for anyone!!

Was here over the weekend, the place was sold out They must not be fully staffed. 30-minute lines to get coffee in the morning, and 2 1/2 hour wait to get into any of the restaurants on Saturday night. For a place where you are paying $300+ a night, the best options for food are the Food Trucks they have outside. And 4 drinks from one of the lobby make-shift bars were $50. Very pretty property and the staff was good considering the situation. But the property was not prepared for a full house. One of the restaurants lost our credit card, which someone the next day tried to use. And the phone in the room was broken the entire time, even after we informed the front desk twice.
Had higher expectations but we still had a nice time, should have been much nicer. I understand the lack of employees, but if you aren't able to provide a premium product, you shouldn't ask for a premium price. Crazy thing is, I would probably go back under different circumstances. It is a very beautiful property. Landscaping is beautiful.

What a beautiful hotel!!! It has been such an amazing experience here! From the gardens to the music, it has absolutely been worth the expense. They have had live music each night and even a fountain light show for free! I took the delta boat ride throughout the hotel and that was super nice. Some of their restaurants are overpriced with not overly amazing food, but that has been the only downside. The pool and hot tub are nice and there are plenty of locations to get a drink or snack! Loved wandering around here and finding all of their attention to details!

Overall had a really pleasant stay here. The gardens are absolutely magnificent and it’s fun how they are all intertwined with all of the rooms. If you have an inside facing room, you should have a small balcony looking on to the gardens which is fun to people watch from. The views all around make you feel like you’re in a lush tropical environment. Be prepared though, to be charged for everything, and everything is expensive. Breakfast sandwich…10 bucks, water…5 bucks and so on. We did not attend the water park as it’s not part of your hotel stay, but took a peek at the area it looks nice. Service was friendly everywhere we went the the food was average. A neat place to stay none the less.

My family and I have been going here for over 10 years and loved 🥰 going until…
It became Marriott. It lost its personality and human touch. We ask for accessibility rooms near the elevator in our profile and when booking or checking in. We were placed at the end of a hall near an elevator that the bellman said he took the long way to avoid the incline for the wheelchair. When checking out we spoke to Felicia who did her best to help . She engaged the manager, Thomas and things went down hill. He was not considerate or concerned about the fact that we were not give the ADA provisions that we requested. He was very short with his answers and threw $50.00 at us like that was an apology. It was not and consumers pay too much to come to these hotels and not be treated with respect or regard. There are other hotels happy to have our time and money separately or collectively. COVID protection is over, but hotels are still claiming up charge and bad service to its tab! We are powerful together and change is needed! People not profit first please!

I stayed for 4 nights last week as was not overly impressed as this is listed as a luxury hotel. I stayed in the Garden section of the hotel, first walked into my room, and stepped and a super sharp piece of plastic I thought was glass. My bathtub was filled with 1 inch of water, there was hair in the shower and hair throughout the room. The room was not well lit, even with all lights on. Also, it was NOT soundproof in any capacity to the point where you can hear any and all conversations clearly. I used the iron which had a large crack in it and didn’t work, so I had to have a new one delivered to the room which did arrive promptly.
We stayed with a large group who was in a different section of the hotel and said that their rooms in that section of the hotel smelled like a trash chute. We had dinner in the older section of the hotel and immediately smelled the trash odor which was borderline unbearable.
The atrium is remarkable and is what you are paying for. There are a variety of things to do in the hotel as well, however, that being said, I would not stay overnight or pay more than $150/night.

The Gaylord Opryland is a strikingly beautiful conference center. Clean and well-maintained, the staff is friendly and helpful. The amenities are astounding. There are many nice choices for grabbing a snack or a full meal even late into the evening. However, the Gaylord needs clearly marked handicapped access areas and MORE ELEVATORS to the various session rooms. I was using a knee scooter because of a toe injury, and at one point I had to abandon the line for the elevators going to the mezzanine level because they would show up on the second floor already full from the main floor. The doors would open, there be no room for more passengers, and the doors would close and go on to the mezzanine level. A friend had to carry my scooter while we used the stairs after we waited for 20 minutes. As a result, we were late for our workshop. I realize it is very difficult to retrofit a large hotel with more handicap options but the planning should’ve been better when it was renovated.

My husband, youngest child and I stayed here this past weekend. We were greeted by Cory, a bellman, and he was so helpful as we unloaded, got checked in, and found our room. This place is massive and has a some fascinating history. Cory shared some fun facts and also helped us navigate to a couple places within the resort. We got to watch many of the Christmas lights being hoisted up and hung from the rafters. There's plenty to see and do right here but there's also a large mall within walking distance. Highly recommend!

Absolutely gorgeous place! And massive!
Didn’t stay here but had to come in to visit and look around because of how pretty it looked and definitely left happy. The multiple greenhouse/atrium style areas were insane. You could spend hours in here alone and be satisfied with all of the plants, decorations, and art designs.
We took the boat tour and it is highly recommended! Very funny jokes paired with historic facts made it feel like a Disneyland type of ride. The shops were great and provided tons of walking around and browsing.
Overall loved it here and would highly suggest checking it out

Me and my husband stayed a few nights here . We had a balcony that we could walk out and sit, our room was perfect . The most BEAUTIFUL PLACE I’ve ever seen. It’s very breathtaking from the moment you walk in. Some places had live music , if you go to Jack Daniel’s I recommend the Chicken Fried Chicken, So great . Definitely did not won’t to leave as it’s so full of life . 10/10 recommend this resort . Walking through to see all the water falls and plants was very worth it. Hoping to go back one day .

The Gaylord is a beautiful hotel and a great location for our conference. It is ultimately too far away from downtown to enjoy Nashville. There is an extremely religious vibe to the campus, and even though there are bars and delicious restaurants throughout, there was an agenda. The room was fine and clean, terrace and garden view was nice. Doors to the bathroom and closet are too close together, and everything bumps together every time one opens a door. The shower drain was broken. On my last day, I had a 12 pm. checkout, and housekeeping banged on my door 3 times after I had requested to be left alone. There isn't a grocery or pharmacy close by, so either plan on driving or paying 3 times as much for anything you need.

My dad stayed here for a couple of days, but I only stopped by to visit and did not stay.
The rooms seem nice and spacious, but very expensive. Their room overlooking the atrium was $600+ a night. I believe having a room overlooking the atrium would be nice nice for sleeping, because you would have some ambient noise from the water which would be relaxing.
I had never heard of this place prior to my dad staying here, so I was mesmerized by how much there was inside. The landscaping is beautiful.
Their check-in took approximately 15 minutes. There was valet parking available and huge lots.
I believe they had to pay an extra $26 for parking in addition to the price of their room.
I would be interested in coming back for a day trip, but I don't know if I would be able to justify the cost.
This place is wheelchair accessible, however I feel like navigating it in a chair would be quite cumbersome as there are so many different levels and you would have to find how to get to a lift to get to where you're wanting to go.

Been years since my last visit & the atmosphere outside the rooms are still amazing. So much to experience & so much to see. Especially if you have kids. This is a great place for them with LOTS of areas to explore & experience. Unfortunately, guessing COVID has taken its toll. The rooms did not live up to the cost. When I arrived there was left over syrup dotted on my counter from I’m guessing the previous guests, which my hands & computer found. Yuk! The shower head had pink stuff building on it, & it was very dusty in the room. The front desk was good about sending someone up to clean up the room, but they only did the main room, & left streaks on the TV. Seemed like a very half a&$ed attempt, but I’m assuming staffing has been a challenge.
For what you pay, It’s a “grand” experience outside the room, but not inside. Don’t get me started with the cost of parking per day. It should be valet at those prices!

Very huge and Beautiful. They have plants and trees from all over the world and it's just gorgeous. A huge selection of shopping and restaurants. I saw many families there and they have activities for the children. They decorate for every holiday and season. Very comfortable beds/rooms if you're staying the night. The fountain show is very beautiful at night. They have an inside river with a boat to take you throughout to see the beautiful scenery. It is a little pricey but it's well worth it.

An amazing hotel! Almost feels wrong to call it a hotel, it’s basically a resort. It’s incredible how it’s essentially a small town inside of a building. The atmosphere is incredible. The water, the glass ceilings, the sounds, you could really make an entire vacation out of this hotel alone. I would also definitely pay the extra price for an interior view room, it’s amazing to just be able to look out on the hotel from your balcony. It’s a little pricey but definitely worth it to stay here for a few days.

I would say when it comes to resorts, this is the best resort that I have ever been to. I was there for a conference and it is incredibly large and comfortable. The rooms are large and comfortable. I rarely sleep well in hotel rooms but in this case, I slept very well. There are small things that they could improve. For example, in the gym, they can easily add a section for a bench press or dead lift. I only ate at their restaurants once because it is way over priced. Every night instead of eating at the resort, I just walk 15 mins to the mall and the cost is half as much.

The resort was huge and absolutely gorgeous. There's a water park inside called Soundwave which was pretty cool. The inside of the resort has a small water fall and lots of trees and flowers. At night the light lights up and its mesmerizing. The restaurants inside the resort was pretty good too. Definitely would come back again

Hickory steakhouse was perfect. Nicholas was a great server with an excellent helper. Appetizer shrimp were large, crab cakes didn't have much filler, bacon was yummy. The steaks were all perfectly seasoned and cooked, lobster mashed potatoes were amazing with 2 tails on top, desserts were good. Wine selection had something for everyone. The mixed drinks were different and refreshing. Miss scarlet, the smoky old fashions, and the one with frambois were very well received. Just a great place to eat.

Overall, the hotel/resort was OK, and the grounds/common areas were cool. The gardens and walkways were filled with beautiful plant life. The waterfalls were gorgeous, and the sound of the fountains was relaxing. The indoor pool space was nice and clean and nearly empty, but the locker rooms were ice cold. The outdoor pool/spa areas were closed due to snow. There are plenty of overpriced stores and restaurants to eat at.
The food we had was good except for the salads we ordered from room service, which were $20 each with no meat, and then they left off the cheese and olives, so it was a pretty overpriced bowl of iceberg lettuce.
The rooms were decent and good-sized. I loved its balcony overlooking the gardens and a giant walk-in closet/dressing room. I did not love that the walls were so thin that you could hear the toilet in the next room flush. Not to mention the screaming baby for over an hour in the middle of the night, which woke me up and kept me awake. There was no microwave to heat leftovers, although there was a mini fridge. The shower was ADA compliant; however, the bar holding the shower head was not correctly connected and awkward to take down. Also, there were two shampoos and no body wash. It would also be nice to have two sitting chairs in a room this size. Most people travel in pairs.
The resort's sheer size is incredible, and there is much to do. But considering that I came in visibly disabled and used a cane to walk, the staff assigned a room that was the absolute furthest from the conference center (the reason we were there), so I spent the entire week limping in pain from one end of the resort to the other to make it to the meeting. There are no reasonable accommodations for disabled individuals to assist them in traversing the massive facility. What would be a 5-minute walk for an average person forced me to leave 20 minutes before the meeting to ensure I could get there. While I could have RENTED a scooter or wheelchair, I don't feel I should have to do that when it would have been so easy to assign a room closer to the conference area or offer a shuttle from the front to the back.
Then, in the conference/ballroom lobby area, there are no benches or seating for those who need to wait and can't stand for extended periods.
My most significant memory of the week will be the amount of pain I was in by the end of every evening and the lack of sleep due to pain and thin walls. It unfortunately overshadows the beauty of the resort, which should have been otherwise very enjoyable.

An impressive property. Great with kids as well. The property is beyond big. The atmosphere with the water features, botanical displays and natural light was very comfortable. Rooms were average (no idea what the fancier rooms were like - I was in a basic double queen). The convention center was great. Food resources were adequate but I didn't experience anything over the top. This property is next to the Grand Ole Opry - walkable distance. I would definitely stay here on my next trip to Nashville.

Beautiful hotel, gardens are spectacular! I don’t give a 5 stars because they had some deficiencies during our stay. They were run out towels in the 2 swimming pools. The price of the rooms is expensive for having these issues. They should have a more friendly and easy reservation system (app or website). I needed to go in person to book for a spa and the same happened to book in the aquatic park. Restaurants offer good food with different prices. My family and I have a great time but I feel the service was just ok. I was expecting more for the price that we paid.

When my wife and I arrived to our room at 9am Friday morning we were greeted with a room with little to no heat and the smoke alarm going off minutes after unpacking. The thermostat in our room did not work no matter what temperature we set it to. Our room was right next to the outside heater so at 5am we were woken up when it kicked on and blasted on high for about 30 minutes. We were also very disappointed in the fact that I couldn’t drop my wife off at the front desk with our bags when the windchill was in the -20’s since they had the drop off zones blocked off for our section of the hotel. We tried calling services multiple times on our personal phones and in room phones and never got an answer. $33 a day for parking is outrageous, especially when you are not guaranteed a parking spot. The atrium was also very cold, almost as cold as in our room forcing us to wear jackets for most of our stay at this resort that’s known for being a tropical stay. The “blankets” on the bed were just extra bed sheets, we would have froze if we didn’t bring our own blanket. Very very disappointed with this resort for how much a room costs. Not having the water park at least included with the room is unthinkable, even the cheapest resorts offer a swimming pool for free. The power has gone off at least 6 times during our 2-day 1-night stay. We will never stay at Opryland again and will deter anyone we know from staying there.

For the price of this hotel, I expected to to not have the issues we went through. We called the hotel a week prior to get early check in as we were going to a concert and would at the concert both when check in began and ended. We get there and they tell us we can’t check in until 4pm (this is normal check-in time). We told them our situation and that we wouldn’t be able to check in in their time slot. We were told again that despite calling for early check in we couldn’t. Finally, a supervisor overheard and sorted that issue out. This was good considering when we got back to the hotel that’s we were required to show our hotel key before we could even pull into the very front of the hotel property. If they did not allow us to check in early, it seems we would have been stranded for the night. We were then told we paid for self-park at check-in as well. However, when we first left the premises, we found out they didn’t put our parking pass onto our hotel key card. We then had to pay $115 over the course of our 1 night stay because they didn’t do this correctly. Even when we checked out, we told them because they tried to charge us at the desk for parking AGAIN, we showed them the receipts and they decided not to charge. They told us when we left for the final time to swipe the key card and it would let us out without having to pay again. It did not. We then had to hold up the line to call someone and get them to open the gate so we could leave and not be charged yet again. The rooms were okay, there’s nothing spectacular about them. The lobby was really the only wow factor of this hotel. The rooms look like any standard hotel room. The cleaning I also expected to be better for the price. It was cleaned okay but I expected it to be better than your average normal hotel cleaning considering it’s a 4 star hotel. All in all, I wouldn’t stay here again considering the price. Yes, it’s nice for pictures but nothing else.

The indoor, public space is absolutely stunning. The horticulturalists have cultivated beautiful spaces where you can lose yourself both figuratively and literally.
The rooms are comfortable. We did have a slight hiccup when we arrived, but the desk was able to resolve it quickly and professionally.
There are many places to get a bite from a simple burger to the Gaylord staple, Old Hickory Steakhouse. You don't need to break the bank to fill your stomach.
This was the only Gaylord we had not visited until this trip, and I truly feel it is the most beautiful.

It's not good if you are disabled and limited on where you can go. Everything costs extra. No booklet about resort and restaurant menus, all is available on your electronic devices. Food was only OK and long lines. Seemed weird that the Mexican restaurant had you wait in a very long line to order and prepay. Including the tip before you know what kind of service they provide. We tip according to the service we get. Check in and some employees even had a snooty attitude. At $650 per night per room, I would expect some respect, not an attitude. Dip in bed, slow drain in main sink, no makeup removal wipes and toilet paper I wouldn't buy even during the shortage. Concierge said the trolly goes downtown but forgot to mention during the week, only leaves at 9:30am. Took 1.5 hrs to get a step stool for our disability room. The bed was so high couldn't get on and off safely. Door peephole is at 6 foot. We won't consider staying here again. Every year my family travels to some nice resort around the world. It does look nice.

This place is absolutely stunning to stay at! There are many different conservatories with many different things to look at! The way this place was built is beautiful with plants, waterfalls, and great architecture! There is also a good amount of shops here that you can go to and there are good restaurants here! The hotel had everything you needed and it was nice and came with water bottles which is awesome because I always need water. The best part of the hotel is the balcony though because it looks out in one of the gorgeous conservatories! So if you are ever in Nashville I would definitely recommend staying here since I had such a great experience!

Absolutely an incredible and gorgeous place! And massive! During our stay at the Opryland Gaylord Hotel in Nashville, we had a great experience that exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by friendly staff who made us feel welcomed and valued. The hotel itself is stunning with its beautifully landscaped atriums and vibrant atmosphere. The hotel is not just a place to stay, it’s an experience. I had a concern about noise because of the amount of people on the property but the room was perfectly quite and comfortable. The food was also very good with many options to choose from. The overnight parking was $28.00 a day. Overall, our experience was excellent, and I would highly recommend staying here for anyone looking for a fun experience, excellent accommodations, magical atmosphere, good food and great service.

This was my first time in Nashville. I came here for a work conference. Checked in at front desk. Walked a mile to my room to discover that my keys didn't work. Security came up, let me into my room. I requested them send someone back up with working keys. They did. New keys wouldn't work. Called front desk and requested they change my room. They did. Woke up at 7am and went to my work meetings. Came back to my room at 5pm. I had a white envelope with 2 $50 bills in it that my work had given me as spending stipend. Looked inside the envelope to discover 1 $50 bill missing. No one else was in my room ever except for the person who cleaned my room for the first time. Horrible experience. Staff who steals money. Maybe I shouldnt have put the envelope on the nightstand next to my bed, but really? Just steal 1 of the 2 $50 bills? Reported it to their security. Waiting for the hotel to correct this and make this right, so I can come back and remove this bad review. Until then, I don't recommend this hotel to anyone. Truly disgusted.

Where do I start? 1.) Most of the staff could barely speak English which made it somewhat difficult to understand when checking in and/or asking information about things. It's an extremely difficult place to figure out where to go and find your way around. Had trouble finding our room and no one spoke good English.
2.) Charging an extra fee for a non valet parking spot on top of your room charge is a little ridiculous!
3.) The rooms were clean,.. however, for what you pay I was expecting more. I've honestly seen nicer better equipped rooms in cheaper hotels.
4.) No place inside the facility,.. stores, shops, restaurants, snack machines, no place takes cash! Seriously!!?? An American establishment not accepting cash? Really? Their website states "Its our goal to "accommodate" all our guests." NOT TRUE. What about us that prefer using cash over cards due to the increased chances of scamming or identity theft? My Wife and I had to venture out to another area for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner each time.
My Wife and I were very excited about visiting/staying and was extremely let down. We will not return or visit again. If you do decide to visit The Grand Old Opry Show I would recommend staying at another near by Hotel at a much less expensive price and just visiting/walking around in the Gaylord Hotel for free.

Very disappointed. I expected much more for the price and brand. Do better.
Check in lines were stupid long. 30+ minutes all morning and afternoon. Thousands of people and <8 people working check in.
Electronic key in the app didn't work....so after waiting and waiting it was back to the lobby. The place is huge so it's a hike with your bags, thru people traffic. Again. Good news is I got my steps in.
$37 to self park. That's a joke.
Restaurants are PACKED! Even later it's a 90+ minute wait to eat at any and all sit down restaurants....so we're forced to eat the over priced 'fast food' like garbage.
Layout is confusing and signage is not at all helpful. Up, down, east, west then up again...oh no, sorry, I meant down.
Rooms are basic. I expected more for the price. AC turns resets the mode you set it in if you don't move every few minutes which means you'll wake up in a much warmer room temp vs. what you set.
If you can't handle the crowds, reduce them. Don't sell as many rooms.
On the plus side, it is very visually pleasing. Water features, lighting, plants, glass dome roof, etc. The grounds are very nice.

Room was clean but the toilet was very low for a senior. Several places to eat! Plenty to see, you will definitely get your steps in at this hotel. I did not like that the pool was not open and therefore we had to buy tic to the water park. It was a fun experience but we were unable to go back the next day because I used points for my hotel stay( I'm a Gold elite member) so the tickets were a separate purchase. Not cool Marriott!
We will likely return.

You won’t be disappointed with a visit and as others suggest park in the end of the mall lot closest to the hotel for free and just take the 3-4 minute walk over. It probably takes 30-60 minutes to casually walk through all the hotels areas and enjoy the greenery.

I think the recent reviews are pretty spot on. The hotel is so confusing and the signs are awful. It’s not just the size that makes it confusing, there’s 5 ways to get to one space and it is a mess. Everyone I met was just as confused. It is not near downtown Nashville (I knew this, no biggie for me, just letting others know). If you don’t make reservations you won’t be eating anywhere other than cascades (I happen to love the place but they don’t offer a lot). The valet is WONDERFUL. Everyone is so nice and knowledgeable. The front desk was awesome. The prices are INSANE. You should definitely just go downtown to eat- it’s a better vibe and cheaper. They have a waterpark but you can only use it if you book it with your room. I wish they just had a nice pool for guests.

Enjoyed my stay at the Gaylord - am here for a conference. It's massive, beautiful and a plant lovers delight. A stream meanders through the middle with vegetation all around. Know that you will walk - a lot - and there are lots of stairs to navigate if you don't figure out the somewhat tricky pathways. They do have helpful staff positioned strategically to help guide you when you get lost (and you will). I had it all down by the end of day two but did 10k steps today and never went outside. My room was nice, but far and I definitely would ask for something near the courtyard if I'm ever back here. Housekeeping never showed up until around 4 each day so there's that. If you are here for a conference, bring the family if you can...lot's for them to do. Great variety of places to eat without leaving the building. It's like a mini theme park (but nice). Fantastic gym and pool.

We went here during the weekend for our church event for Lads to Leaders. It was very nice, but this place is like a maze if you haven’t been here. Rooms are very nice, especially if you get a room with a nice view. The service is very good especially security, my daughter scrapped her knee and reopened her wound and security was very voice and detailed about the situation. They even followed up with a phone call to make sure my daughter was ok. The food there looks and smells amazing, we had pizza for lunch one day. I only gave it a four star because it is very expensive here. Overall it was a very pleasant experience.

This place was massive! We stayed two nights, had an exterior room and an atrium room the second night. We went to sound waves and spent most of the day there. It was clean and so many different water slides and things to do. We ate at the Fuse and had grab and go breakfast at the cocoa bean.

Had my homeschool prom here! It was amazing! A lot of our parents helped out and I must say, the people that run the prom do NOT know how to organize. The majority of this they could've done DAYS in advance, but instead they made everyone set up EVERY SINGLE THING in FOUR HOURS on the day of prom. Regardless, this hotel is absolutely MASSIVE and it is gorgeous! Wish we could've stayed here!
The Grand Ole Opry, renowned as the authentic country music hub, is a must-see for enthusiasts of this genre. Established in 1974 to serve as the permanent residence of the world's longest-running live radio broadcast, it offers visitors the opportunity to embark on either self-guided or backstage tours. These tours present an array of distinctive memorabilia and intriguing behind-the-scenes anecdotes about the stars who have graced its stage.
I loved this tour so much!!! It was really cool to see all the backstage things for the Grand Ole Opry. The dressing rooms were really interesting to look at. They seem so simple but in my head, they were a lot fancier than they actually are. Most of them don’t even have their own bathrooms. Our tour guide was great! He told us which celebrities saw which dressing rooms. We were able to go on stage as well. I really recommend this tour & hope to one day see a show there.

First time to the Opry, and I was not disappointed. Really no bad seat in the venue. The sound and acoustics are great. Be prepared to spend a hefty amount if you plan to drink. Domestic beers were $10.
The presentation of everything is immaculate. The venue really goes above and beyond to make this a wonderful experience. There is a 15 minute intermission to allow patrons to use restroom or get food and drinks.
Buy your tickets as early as possible. Tickets prices go up closer to showtime, even when seats are the same or further back or to the side. Fee additions are what you expect. You shouldn't need to worry about parking as there is a big open lot in front of the venue that is shared with other local shops. They will make it seem on the website that it is mandatory (or at least imperative) to buy a parking pass.
My wife is a huge country fan, as I am more of a casual listener. Regardless, I still had a blast watching live music.

Wow. I had no idea How Much Fun!! Great venue. Great entertainment. The host is funny. The musicians are fantastic. Really enjoyed the music and the atmosphere is amazing. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Driving was no issue and we got back downtown with no problem. The mall next to it looks Huge. I’m sure you could spend the whole day there. Get your tickets soon. They go fast and now I see why. Everyone had a great time. Enjoy 😊

My friends and I went to a country music tour at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville for a bachelorette party. It was both thrilling and memorable. As our first time immersing ourselves in the heart of country music, the electric and heartwarming atmosphere provided an ideal setting for our brides. The rich history and undeniable charm of the Grand Ole Opry truly enhanced our celebration.
The highlight of the evening was the backstage tour, which allowed us a glimpse into the magic behind each performance. It was both exciting and deeply moving to walk the same path as legendary country music artists, creating a wonderful memory for our group.
A massive thank you goes out to the Grand Ole Opry and our tour guide for making this event so special.

The venue is nice and you can see fine from anywhere. We were in the last row and didn’t have any problems. The seats are like church pews. They were comfortable. The show itself was entertaining as well. They had a variety of acts and each performed for around 15 minutes. It was nice to have them changing frequently. That way if they have one that you don’t like much it will switch out in a few minutes.

Wow! What a classic venue. You can feel immense talent that makes this a huge showcase for young/upcoming, current and ageless superstar performers. The Customer Service was great, even moving us and others down to closer seats. They keep things moving and in-between the MC is great. If close you have to check this out country fan or not.

What a amazing experience. We did the Circle room, Opry and post show. I could not find any reviews on the Circle room(premium lounge pass) but we enjoyed having a place to be before the show, drinks and munchies included until intermission is over. Included a photo and a guest drop in. Shout out to Maddie & Q! We would do it again. The Opry...wow! That was an awesome experience. We didn't know performers really, but do not need to. What an amazing show. The comedian was spectacular, the up and coming performers were outstanding and the Opry members were wonderful. I cannot say enough about all the staff we encountered. They made our experience so much more. Very friendly, helpful and they all loved their jobs & the Opry. We sat in section 4, row G. I would absolutely want those seats again! No watching screens. Thank you Grand Ole Opry, what a great night!

I enjoyed the show! We had upper bowl tickets and one of the hosts offered to move us to the lower bowl because there were 2 men in our seating section and we would not of all fit together...so moving to the lower area was exciting and a plus!! So thank you for that. The grand Ole Opry is so beautiful inside and a great place to see a concert!!

I was in Nashville for a few days and saw the Opry Country Christmas show. I purchased a ticket the day before at the ticket office. The venue is top-notch. It was easy to find my section. My seat was on the upper level but I could still see just fine and there were plenty of screens for a more up close view. Pew seating but it’s cushioned…plan to stand up or move out of the way if you have long legs and anyone in your row needs to get out. The ticket price was reasonable considering the number of artists performing. Concession stands sold food: snacks but also packaged salads, sandwiches and pizza. Alcoholic drinks were available. I had water and pretzel bites. Restrooms were easy to find and no long lines. I parked across the street at Opry Mills for free - that’s just a short walk. The show was entertaining and had audience participation. I did the backstage tour on a previous trip and recommend that at well.

Great place to visit when you're in Nashville. It is a major part of the country music scene history of the town. There are always great shows, I caught one on a whim, but was able to see country music legends and members of the Country Music Hall of Fame play.
Tickets were reasonable, and I got great seats last minute. There is also a huge mall across the street with lots of shopping, a giant Dave & Buster's, a steakhouse, an aquarium restaurant, many other food options, drinks, and more. The whole Grand Ole Opry is a destination in itself, what's a big resort hotel right next to it, tons of parking, the mall, and obviously the theater.

We couldn't believe how close we were to the stage, but I don't think there is a bad seat in the house. They also have big screens to watch the artists up close. There was a good variety of the Old and the new music. We even got to listen to a hilarious comedian, although many of the musicians made us laugh too. Seats were comfortable, bathrooms clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Food and beverages were also available to take to your seats to enjoy. Don't miss it! Every show is unique.

We enjoyed our visit, show and post tour. We saw a country classic show. They change up the shows so they have different people in different days of the week. It was a great venue with only 4,400 seats and there's not a bad seat and you could move around with ease because it wasn't overly crowded! That made it very nice!!
The show flowed well, Larry Gaitlyn did an excellent job hosting and it was a fabulous show that made you feel right at home!
The post tour, a behind the scenes look at what goes on backstage. was excellent as well! It's a solid 45 minutes of going through were the singers enter, quite a few dressing rooms and going on stage. Note, this tour was all standing.
The shop was large and had a variety of items but it was expensive.
A must see for any music fan! We definitely will take an opportunity to visit again!

At first I was a little concerned with selecting the $55 "cheap seats" but that's all that was available when we decided to go. I was relieved to see there is no bad seat in the house! It is such an intimate setting. We will definitely be back!

I had such an amazing day at the Opry. I took the Women of Country Tour and David was a wealth of knowledge on the women who have and currently call the Opry home. The show I attended was just so great. It was awesome to be able to share my first time at the Grand Ole Opry with Kasey Tyndall as she stepped into the circle for the first time. After the show, I took a post-show backstage tour and once again my tour guide, Michael had so much to share with us. Even though I had seem some of the backstage earlier, Michael had different information to share and I got to see different things. Getting to see where they filmed HEE HAW was so awesome as I remember watching that show with my Grandma, who is the whole reason I love country music. This was such a great day and I cannot wait to be back.

I saw Dashboard Confessional and Counting Crows Monday Aug. 14, 2023. Absolutely amazing concert in a beautiful, historic venue. It was my second at the Opry, and I will definitely be attending more concerts there. The only negative is if you are in the 30 sections of the balcony it's a very steep angle to see down to the stage. Otherwise, it's a wonderful place to see some of your favorite band.

Psychedelic Furs and Squeeze. The college self is very happy. Great venue, full of Nashville vibes. It was odd to be there for something other than country music. Free and plentiful parking was a treat. Short walk and lots of benches and places to sit if you arrive early for a show.

We were in town on a business trip and got to tour the Grand Ole Opry. Such a wonderfully unique experience! The tour guide we had was fabulous and entertaining- she made sure to cover the history of the place with a nice flair of fun.
The video they showed made me tear up, you can really tell it's an honor for someone to be invited to join as a member. We got to stand on the stage and it's unbelievable! I definitely recommend doing this tour and I can only imagine how awesome a show here is.

My recent visit to the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville was nothing short of a sensational experience. From the moment I stepped inside the complex, I was enthralled by its grandeur and warm Southern hospitality. The architecture, both inside and out, was a testament to the rich history of country music, and it felt like stepping into a musical shrine.
One of the first things that caught my eye was the large gift shop, filled with a wide array of country music memorabilia and souvenirs. It was a country music lover's paradise. I couldn't resist picking up some unique keepsakes to remember the night.
The Grand Ole Opry complex also offered numerous dining options and places to grab a refreshing drink, ensuring that guests could enjoy a delightful meal or quench their thirst before the show. The convenience of having all these amenities within the complex made the evening even more enjoyable.
But what truly made the night remarkable was the size of the arena. It was just the right balance, not too big, ensuring that no matter where you sat, you had an excellent view of the performers on stage. And what a show it was! The tribute night featured Garth Brooks and several other country music legends, leaving the audience in awe with their extraordinary performances.
My visit to the Grand Ole Opry was a memorable experience. The exceptional complex, a vast gift shop, various dining options, and an intimate arena made it a night to remember. If you're a country music enthusiast, this iconic venue in the heart of Nashville is an absolute must-visit. It's a place where the magic of country music truly comes alive.

This is a wonderful venue to see great entertainment! The seats are Pews. *If you have any back issues the seat will get uncomfortable. Intermission is a great time to move and stretch while standing up.
When purchasing Tickets for a show also purchase Parking. It makes it so easy to walk/use a walker /wheelchair under the lighted covered walkway to your vehicle and leave. Traffic moves really smoothly too.
As you can see it’s decorated beautifully for Christmas. So much to take in. The Opry Mall is close too if you want to go out to eat or shop prior to your show.
Alcoholic beverages are served at the bars set up in the foyer before a show and during intermission.
Restrooms are located on the far right inside. The Restrooms outside on the far left are available to access before entrance inside.
There is also the Axis Shop for purchasing tickets, the Opry Gift Shop along with The Roy Acuff House close by.
You will not be allowed to enter until the entrance time. If it’s cold or rainy the Gift Shop or Mall are close options to wait.

We have been to Nashville many times, and never attended the Grand Ole Opry. Wow! We missed so much. This time we were guests of one of the acts (Shane Smith and the Saints), and the show was amazing! Great venue! Great show!

Wonderful evening at the Grand Ole Opry. The show was fantastic. Larry Gatlin was a great host, very humorous. Loved him singing with his brothers. He really shared his deep feelings for how precious it is to sing at the Opry. He was so warm and welcoming to the new singer Mae Estes. Chuck Mead was great, lots of fun tunes. It was amazing to hear Leona Williams and learn about all the songs she had written. The Bellamy Brothers were fabulous, they did all there No. 1 hits, so much for to sing along with. The whole show was warm and comforting, like you were being entertained by family. It was my first Opry show, hopefully I will get to go again one day. It's a long way to go from Montreal, Canada. 🎵🎸🎶🎵🎸

Was a wonderful moving experience. Great backstage tour seeing all the dreasing rooms and areas the entertainers hang out. The theatre and stage was impressive. So much history and information.

It's difficult to explain how fantastic this show actually is. I'm not a massive country music fan, but, when in Nashville, we figured we should go. I'm so glad we did. It was a fascinating mix of big stars, up and comers, and forces behind the music industry that we'd never heard of, but turned out to be highlights. If you don't recognize the line up, don't let it dissuade you from going - our group thoroughly enjoyed everyone.

What a great night! It's not cheap, and I think the earlier you book, likely the better prices you get.
But I was surprised with how the whole thing worked. Multiple artists, 2-3 songs each, really good pace - we loved it.
The atmosphere is great, although where it loses its 5th star for me - if you are sitting in the higher rows,.it wasnt quite loud enough. The view was great but I could hear conversations around me better than the music. The other thing, the on air advertisements is kind of gross. I've never been to a show/concert where they are saying between every act, "and today's event is brought to you but (xx) because when you are in need, trust (xx), it's the #1 (xx) in America". Cheesy and weird.
Did get to see Don McLean sing American Pie, Adam Wainwright made his debut, Connie Smith, but I think our favourite unexpectedly was Riders in the Sky. Cute, witty, funny and great.

Wow! So many great performances all on one stage in one night! For best seats, buy tickets when you are planning to visit. We bought these tickets on Saturday for the Tuesday show. We were close by off to the side. For the best view, sit in the center where the performers are most of the time. Traffic is ridiculous as there is one way in and one way out. Give yourself plenty of time!

This is our 3rd visit to the G.O. Opry. If we lived closer I'd go to a show there every month. It's a small intimate setting and the crowds are always respectful. No one is yelling, whistling, or standing up in front of you like at typical concerts. There's not a bad seat in the house. Acoustics are spectacular! Can't say enough Great things about this special Iconic experience. We love the Grand Ole Opry! It makes me want to move to Nashville!

We stopped by for a tour of the Grand Ole Opry and it did not disappoint. It is a beautiful facility and the history is so rich. The tour guide was so knowledgeable and they take you back stage to see the unique and stunning dressing rooms. It was a wonderful experience and we are so happy we went.
Nashville's lively country music scene can be found in the bustling Downtown area, which is home to numerous honky-tonk bars along the main street, Broadway. Visitors can enjoy big-name concerts and backstage tours at the historic Ryman Auditorium, or explore artifacts from Johnny Cash's life at the nearby museum dedicated to him. The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum offers hands-on exhibits and audio tours for those interested in learning more about this genre of music.
The red-brick museum in DT Nashville showcases photographs and mementos from the life of music legend Johnny Cash, renowned for his contributions to American music. It is home to the largest collection of Johnny Cash memorabilia globally, surpassing even the Grammy Museum in Downtown LA. The museum not only exhibits numerous items relating to his successful career but also highlights his activism for prison reform and support for Native Americans. Visitors can enjoy a cup of coffee at the museum cafe while listening to his remarkable songs.
It's a small museum but it has a nice flow. There are lots of items to check out! It's very reflective, so picture taking is a challenge. The music is great 😉
There were a few items from Roy Orbinson and Jerry Lee Lewis too! It was so much fun, we'll do it again!

I had a great experience here. I share a birthday with Johnny Cash so I made sure to go on my birthday. There was no wait to get in. It is self-guided and they give you a brochure before you go in that has a guide in it. There's lots of really cool artifacts in there from Johnny Cash. I learned a lot more about him than I knew before. We were in here for maybe an hour.

Little over priced for the small size of the Museum. Some good reading in there to look at and take photos of. The Patsy Cline museum above is even smaller, unless you have a heart tied a Patsy Cline I’d save my time. The cafe was ok until we found a long brown hair at the bottom of the beans… until that point we enjoyed the day. But the POP tech music was up to loud and the chicken a bit dry. The museum didn’t give a military discount but the restaurant did. The guys hat on backwards to the side that brought my food out didn’t look to happy to be there or say anything when putting the meal on the table. We love Johnny Cash, this is a one and done thing for me. The gentleman taking the tickets is the only one that should be getting paid in there. He explained a great deal to us. Just being honest.

4/18/2023: Beautiful museum. It takes about an hour to go through. Completely worth the time. This has been noted as one of the best music museums in America. I would agree. The amount of information inside is so detailed and iconic. It is dark inside, but I think that is for the ambiance. I was more of a Johnny Cash fan after leaving, for sure! It's pretty cool to be surrounded by so much history, fame and singing ability. They have a gift shop as you exit.

A little pricey for the size of the museum, but it’s great. The life story of the man in black with bits of memorabilia, from guitars to suits. Worth the price of admission and a must see for any fan. And they’ll get you in the sweet gift shop, too!

Very nice and detailed museum. We didn't know much about Johnny Cash, but I learned a lot and definitely enjoyed it. I liked to pick up headphones in many different parts and listen to different songs. Some of them were by other artists, including Elvis Presley.
There was a photographer taking pictures with Johnny Cash, and he did an amazing job. It is $19.95 for a print in a very nice cover and a digital download. Highly recommend to do it. It was fun for us!
Some little kid, a visitor, came with a guitar and ended up being coached by some guy, another visitor, which was very interesting and fun to watch.
Whoever planned and worked on the museum did a very good job. I wish there were more such museums.
Also, they open till 7 pm every day, which is very nice if you have a couple hours in the evening and want to do something useful, since all other museums close at 5. We really appreciated it.

Really well done museum in the heart of downtown Nashville, not even a block away from Broadway Street.
I don't believe one needs to enjoy country music to appreciate this museum.
Lots of stories, videos, relics, interactive music sets, and antiques pack every inch of this relatively small space.
There is plenty of American history intertwined with Cash's story 1950-2000.
I spent just over an hour her, but feel you could spent up to three.
Keep up the good work!!!

The staff was friendly, but the museum itself is fairly small. Some nice interesting things there. The museum is well done in terms of its design and creation. At the same time, I didn't get the chance to go upstairs, but there's a Patsy Cline museum as well. I am not sure why they don't combine the two or at least let two be covered by the cost of 1 ticket. Each museum costs well over $20 per ticket, and for that price, I doubt I will return.

Gosh what a great experience! As a long time Johnny Cash fan, this was a must do visit while in Nashville. The exhibits were very well done and fascinating! One could really get a full understanding of who Johnny Cash was, his passions, talents, faith in Jesus and struggles. As a recovered alcoholic/addict myself, I have a place in my heart for those who struggle in addiction. The music video hurt was played at the end and had me emotional... Overall the experience was a perfect way to know who The Man in Black was and honor him. Johnny Cash was truly a legend!

Definitely better than we thought! When we got here, it looks like a tacky tourist trap (like those Ripley’s museums in every tourist town), so we were skeptical, but took a swing anyways… It is pricey too, I think $25/pp, but they do offer AAA discounts and I think first responder and military too (it’s only $1 off).
Once we got past the ticket counter and were inside, it immediately impressed us! The layout, the exhibits, the actual music playing from different exhibits, etc… All were great and very nicely organized. The various artifacts are fun to look at and read about as well. They have a nice video area showing all sorts of interesting things that Johnny did, definitely worth watching.
If you like Country music, southern rock, and/or Johnny Cash, it worth a visit!

Great spot for any Johnny Cash or Country Music fan. One can easily spend an hour or two looking around and listening to lots of Johnny Cash tunes. We went on a weekday late morning, and there was no line, but I noticed on Friday afternoon that the line was quite long with a wait to get in. There is lots of cool T-shirts and other stuff in the gift shop.

This is like a Hall of Fame museum except for one person. There’s plenty of memorabilia but I’m not sure a lot of it is worth having in this museum. Seems like it’s there to provide things to look at. Some were interesting.
However.
We enjoyed learning the life of the man, not that we were big fans of his.
The price is a bit high for what you get. Doesn’t take long to go through. It’s not big yet they have videos of Cash singing his hits in rooms right next to each other so the sounds of one room bleeds over to the next which can be distracting.
If you are a real big Cash fan then by all means go. If you were only mildly interested in the man and his music save your money.

The Patsy Cline Museum is up stairs. Two spectacular galleries for two most spectacular Country superstars. It is so fascinating how much personal stuff of these stars has survived and been devotedly preserved. I didn't have enough time to scour ½ the detailed displays (museum closed @ 5 O'Clock - get there early; I was so engrossed I didn't take many pictures... will undoubtedly revisit these treasuries if I'm ever in Nashville again. DON'T MISS THESE!

The Johnny Cash Museum is conveniently located next to Johnny's Cash's bar!
This place is filled with cool stuff like his childhood report cards, military uniforms, and handwritten love letters to June Carter. The Cash Museum features interactive exhibits, an extensive gift shop, films, and a café.
Upstairs from the Johnny Cash Museum is the Patsy Cline Museum.
The Ryman Auditorium, known as the "Mother Church of Country Music," is a renowned live performance venue located in Nashville, Tennessee. Formerly called the Grand Ole Opry House and the Union Gospel Tabernacle, this historic 2,362-seat auditorium holds a significant place in entertainment history.
I toured the Ryman by myself today waiting for a friend to fly into town and it was a wonderful visit. The staff is really friendly and knowledgeable and it was a neat feeling to walk into a room with such history. They play an informative video to start (don't skip it) and then the rest is self guided. You can get your picture taken on the stage steps and you get a copy for free in the gift shop! I highly recommend going.

I enjoyed the $30 tour. It includes a video that wraps around you. Displays of clothing worn by many of the greats, both old and current and framed play bills. You can walk freely throughout the auditorium which also let's you see where the techs work. A free photo is provided that is taken on the stage. The employees were lovely and happy! The gift shop is quite affordable. Definitely a worth while adventure. If you choose not to venture inside there are several things to enjoy for free outside.

Always love the Ryman! Of all the venues in Nashville, this is my go-to place! Much more intimate setting and there's no bad seat in the house. I've been to other venues in town but this is absolutely my favorite and always will be. The sound is absolutely incredible. They don't call it the mother church for nothing! It's also amazing the variety of artists that come there. I'm so glad it's one of the buildings that have been restored and still in use! Parking is easy with a parking garage directly next door and several across the street. There are actual church pews that you sit on but you can also bring a cushion. I've never been to a bad concert there! Can't wait for my next trip to the mother church!

Really glad I stopped for the guided tour of the auditorium. There is so much history in one place it’s amazing. If you like country music then this is the place to start. It’s really cool to see the videos and the outfits that were created by and worn by many stars of the past. The dressing rooms are particularly interesting with so many pictures of the stars who have entertained there. It’s fun to have your pictures taken on stage and the gift store has many different kinds of gifts that are all related to the Ryman.

Fantastic shows both Friday and Saturday. I love the residency program it makes my drive more affordable when I can catch multiple shows! The staff as always was outstanding the lines for concessions and bathrooms moved well and we're not outlandish. My balcony seats were outstanding and the sound top notch. The best at any venue I've been in. The place was clean also. Nice that they have a band in the courtyard while waiting to enter. Bravo! My wait time to get in included me showing up an hour early to get a Hatch Print. I always meet music lovers so I don't mind.

I went here for a show (The Infamous Stringdusters + Leftover Salmon) while I was in town and it was so fun! I didn't have time to do the tour beforehand, but hopefully next time!
The acoustics were unreal 😍.Although...maybe ear plugs would be a good idea. It's a perfectly intimate setting and so cool to be in the same space where so much country music history took place. I LOVED the pews - was worried we would be super cramped but we had plenty of space and it wasn't uncomfortable. Our seats were in the balcony (halfway back) and I was worried it wouldn't be as good so far back, but there really isn't a "bad seat" in the place (although I read ahead that the acoustics sitting toward the back underneath the balcony aren't quite as good).
Wonderful experience and can't wait to come back.

Ryman is fantastic intimate venue! Saw Van Morrison and can't think of better place. Built in 1892 (?) it has beautiful architecture inside and out. Was originally a church, great acoustics, and still has wooden benches. I lucked out and got end of row padded seat, lol. Highly recommend for any artist you want to see.

This was a very nice venue that truly gave me and my husband an intimate listening experience with the musicians on stage. We were just there to see Father John Misty and we were amazed at the acoustics, how sitting in the balcony we had a great view of the entire stage, and the workers there were all very friendly and welcoming. I liked the wooden pew style seating and while it was a tight squeeze and we were packed tightly in our row, the show quality was worth the social discomfort. I would be happy to see any musician on this stage again.
The stairs are quite narrow though and while walking up them I tripped onto my face so perhaps be warned. Still, solid 10/10 experience.

Did the self guided tour. Beautiful old church turned auditorium with tons of history. The tour features a short video explaining the history, exhibits with clothing worn by inductees, with more history, and a photo on the stage is included.

We completed the self guided tour on a Sunday and it was an awesome experience. Right from the amazing video introduction through to the cool displays, to the auditorium itself.
You can't help but get caught up in the emotion that the multitude of stars would have felt and still no doubt feel to this day when walking through the Ryman and taking the stage.
I would happily recommend a visit to the Ryman to anyone that has an interest in music.

Loved the history. Took the self-guided tour and it was worth every penny. Really enjoyed being in the place where so many got their start. If you like history, or country music, or both, add this to your list of places to visit.

The history in this building is really neat - but let's talk about the physical experience of attending a show here. Very often the folks who perform are doing so to a sold-out crowd. This church was built when humans occupied much less space than they do today. If you are 6 foot, it will be painful because there is no room for your knees. If you are even simply moderately sized, you will personally extend over the allotted space for your "seat". And even if *you* don't have long legs or happen to be a thin person, if you have the misfortune of being in a row with a couple other larger folks and your row is full, everyone will be squashed, because they are church pews and many sections don't have any type of seat divider. I know the pews are historic and we want to keep them historic, but the venue DESPERATELY needs to realign the spacing. Charge more per ticket if you have to, but I want to be able to take a full deep breath without every inch of my side body touching the stranger next to me. It's *genuinely* worse than any old, teeny tiny Broadway theater seat in NYC, and I have been in some bad ones. The positive: The acoustics in the venue are great, the bathrooms were clean and modern, the staff is kind. I appreciate that you can take in your beverages to the show, but I had people who spilled their open cup by kicking it on the floor and it dripped down into my space so my floor was covered. Nowhere to put your bag if the seats are all full and the floor is covered in red sticky liquid. ☠️

We visited the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN in February and it was a fantastic place! We purchased VIP tickets and our guide, Ken, was fantastic. He told us all about the history of this great place and took us backstage, in the dressing rooms and on the stage. The same stage the likes of Minnie Pearl, Charlie Pride, Bill Monroe and Loretta Lynn, to name a few, performed on. It was the fifth place of the Grand Ole Opry, from 1943 to 1974. The Ryman is a historical building and any music lover would love to see it. It was a Bucket List thing to do and it was an awesome experience.

Really interesting history! I took the guided tour and although the price might seem high, it was well worth it. I learnt so much about the Ryman Auditorium and the whole experience was really interactive and really made the history come to life. It’s a must see if your are visiting Nashville!

This was such a great place. After we entered the Auditorium, we were directed upstairs to a movie theater. This was a film on the Auditorium and it's history. Amazing story. During the film, I now understood the importance of the place and how many things came and went. Have a good one.

We had a fantastic experience at the Ryman auditorium! I took my team to the haunted tour and we all had a blast. The tour was filled with historical facts as well as spooky stories going back to the early 1900s. We got to see dressing rooms, authentic costumes from BB King, and even under the stage. We were also very pleased that everyone in our group was provided a photo at the end of our experience for no additional charge.

We went to see two shows on two different nights and both experiences were great. The Ryman was a clean and well organized venue. Entry was simple with little security. The sound was incredible. Crystal clear and at a volume that did not require ear protection. The only downside was the seating. Hard wooden pews were not very comfortable. In spite of that, I'd love to see more artists performing there.

The Ryman Auditorium is an essential stop for anyone visiting Nashville, even if you don't have tickets or there is no show that day, it's worth stopping at. I say this because it is located in the heart of downtown Nashville, surrounded by a vibrant and safe environment full of wonderful retail shopping and all kinds of dining.
I went to a concert this summer and got tickets for the front row of the balcony. They were the most amazing seats, and I got them for about $100 each! There was nobody to stand in front of me or block my view, and my buddy and I had the time of our lives!
With it's rich history, our band opened by saying that it was a dream of theirs to play at the Ryman, and then proceeded to put on the best live show I've ever seen from them (and I've seen them play live 11 times before). In summary, if there IS a show, GO! If not, stop by and take pictures of the statues outside before continuing on to the surrounding attractions like Printer's Alley (the main street for all the bars and pubs). I recommend staying in a hotel downtown. You can walk everywhere with ease. Everything is close and safe, and you won't have to worry about drinking and driving.

We didn’t know what to expect when we came for the tour but it was very nicely done. The short movie and effects was very well made. The exhibits were quite minimal though and it isn’t advertised well but you can take a free photograph on the stage! It will be taken by a photographer for you, printed and available to pick up in the gift store. The gift store was also reasonably priced.

The Ryman Auditorium is such an amazing venue! The history in this building is unbelievable. So much talent has graced the stage over the years. I have seen many shows over the years here. This particular concert was Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade on Halloween 2023. So much fun! The crowd was definitely into it. The sound was amazing (I could feel the bass through my feet) and the light show was spectacular! The staff were super friendly and even though the lines were pretty backed up getting in, everything flowed smoothly and we weren't in line too long. I can't wait to see more shows here in the future!

First tour on our last full day in Nashville. Our tour guide, Drake, was very friendly and knowledgeable and provided a great experience. We got to see inside four dressing rooms(no pics allowed)since there were no performances that evening. Walked on stage and was truly in awe of the history. So glad they saved this historic building! We got a short tour of Johnny Cash’s last tour bus too which was included with our ticket purchase.

I had a ticket to a show in the evening and decided to take the self-guided tour earlier in the day. I bought my ticket I site and not in advance. There was just a short wait for the tour to begin. thoroughly enjoyed this experience. They show you a short film to start on the history of the building. Then you take yourself throughout the building. They had some artist memorabilia showcased and you get a free picture of yourself at the end of the tour - free print and then $5 to purchase a digital download. The staff/volunteers were all friendly and knowledgeable. The Johnny Cash bus was on-site and that was accessible with your tour ticket.
The sound and energy during the show I saw that evening was incredible. I highly recommend taking the tour and seeing a live show here!! I’m sure I will be back! Also - I had purchased a seat that said obstructed view at the end of an aisle (section 3 - row M) and I can assure you my visibility was not that obstructed.

I went both to the tour in the morning and Vince Gill Amy Grant Christmas show that night.
The tour was great and well worth the extra time I. The movie alone 3D made me feel like I had got my money's worth. Getting a picture is fun. Great walking around seeing the memorabilia. Amazing place. The show spoke for itself!! Not a bad seat in the place. Great experience. Friendly staff. Gift shop nice too.

Watching a show at the Ryman is special, there's no denying that. We went to see the Black Pumas in April as it's one of our favorite bands. Eric is an amazing entertainer! You can't beat the acoustics of the Ryman. Drinks are easy to get with two concessions, although getting to your seat can be a challenge (which can tend to be uncomfortable if you sit too long). We will be back!

Walking into the auditorium was an experience that I'll never forget. To the effect of chills and goosebumps just thinking about all the history that has been made in that one place by so many. The most humbling feeling you could ever imagine. Sitting on the old pew and just taking it all in was just amazing. I can't imagine what it must feel like to stand on that stage in that building and do what you love. Something I've always dreamed about.

We went to see Amy Grant and Vince Gill's Christmas Show. We were extremely pleased with the ease of getting in even though several bus loads of people were in line as well. It was great being in this historic building. We did have a column in our view but it did not diminish the entertainment or our evening at all. This was our first visit to the Ryman for a show. We had toured it many years ago. We drove in from the Lexington, Kentucky area and would definitely do this again. Vince Gill and Amy Grant were great!!
The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum showcases the rich history of American music through its collection of artifacts and interactive displays. Situated in downtown Nashville's vibrant District, this attraction brings the city to life, especially at night. Alongside the famous honky tonk bars, visitors can explore shops, restaurants, and historic music landmarks. Just a short distance away is Centennial Park, which offers unique features such as a full-scale replica of the Greek Parthenon.
This place was so cool!!! We budgeted one & a half hours based on the recommended time. I wish we would have planned on a little bit more time. It was so interesting seeing costumes & outfits country stars have worn over the past several years. Loved seeing how fashion has changed & the details in the clothing. Martina McBride section was one of my personal favorites. Definitely recommend but make sure you budget enough time before tours, if you are doing tours.

This was an experience that I will never forget in my entire life. I think I was most excited to go here over anywhere else in Nashville. We purchase tickets in advance and therefore were allowed to go straight in. You start on the third floor and work your way down to the first floor where the exit is. I thought that was very smart. The displays were incredible! I love older Country Music and they did not disappoint. I would love to come back here with my kids one today. I know they would love it as much as I did. The gift shop was awesome too!

If you're a music fan of any genre, the Country Music Hall of Fame is a must-see. Lots of history and stories. We also did the RCA Studio B tour. So cool to be in the studio where iconic songs were recorded, ie from Elvis, Dolly and many more. Sitting at the same piano Elvis played was very surreal. Highly recommend!!!

Not at all a country music fan (except bluegrass) but I thought this was a great museum. I learned quite a bit, they have some absolutely amazing artifacts, especially musical instruments, great exhibits, some hands on stuff. Really, really enjoyed it and I probably will explore country music outside of bluegrass because of this visit. If you like guitars, they have a fantastic collection to drool over, especially Martin and Gibson.

Listen. If you're in Nashville you MUST go to the Country music hall of Fame whether or not you like Country music. It's spectacular. Blows that other museum in Cleveland away. Always a rotating exhibit when you enter. We saw one for Bill Anderson. Two levels of amazing artifacts documenting the history of Country music from the 20s/30s through today showing the rise fall and eventual rise again of the genre of music. The guitars are amazing. Outfits and stage wear even better. Several cars including Elvis's limo and the TA from Smokey and the Bandit. Make sure you pay extra and go over to RCA studio B. It takes and hour and is absolutely worth the additional cost and bus ride over. I've been here twice and would come back another 10 times if in Nashville.
Richie Pawlowski — Google review
It was alright, nothing blew me away. If I were a huge country fan, it probably would have been really cool. The whole 3rd floor is the beginnings of country.. the second floor being the more modern era. There were a lot of artists, in my opinion, that have made bigger contributions to country, yet they were not found anywhere in the museum (or it was one item). It was a lot smaller than I had expected as well. Highlight of this stop was Bajo Taco.

Nashville is all about country and blues music, and this museum is a great way to explore a lot of the history and upbringing of the country music scene.
There are 3 floors to the museum and each one is layed out well so that it is easy to navigate and plenty of room. I'm not a big country music fan, but I very much enjoyed browsing through the museum learning about the history and see many of the artifacts that made country music what it is today.
Highly recommend booking the first visit of the morning so you can get in before the museum gets crowded.
We also booked the museum tickets with the Hatch Show Print and RCA Studio B combo package. It can get a little pricey to do this depending on how many people are in your party (about $75 for the 3 together), but it was very worth it.

Visiting the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville is a musical pilgrimage that any country music enthusiast should undertake. Nestled in the heart of Music City, this iconic museum is a sprawling treasure trove of the genre's rich history.
As you approach the building, you're struck by its sheer size. The museum is a colossal three-story structure, with a distinct design that evokes the grandeur of the country's musical heritage. The modern architecture seamlessly blends with the surrounding historic district, making it both a beacon of the future and a guardian of the past.
Once inside, the Hall of Fame doesn't disappoint. Its vast collection covers the full spectrum of country music, preserving the legacies of legendary artists from the earliest roots of the genre to contemporary superstars. Exhibits showcase costumes, instruments, and personal artifacts of icons like Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, and Hank Williams, connecting you to the heart and soul of their music.
To ensure an optimal experience, arriving early in the day is advisable. This way, you can beat the crowds and soak in the exhibits at your own pace. It's also wise to purchase your tickets online in advance to bypass the lines that tend to form, especially during peak tourist seasons.
A trip to the Country Music Hall of Fame is not just a museum visit; it's a journey through the soul of America's music. It's a place where you can stand in awe of the legends, feel the rhythm of history, and understand why country music is such an integral part of the nation's cultural tapestry.

Recently updated exhibits spread out smartly to accommodate large numbers without feeling overwhelmed. Recommend the audio tour for more information that's different from what you can read on the exhibits! Fully accessible regardless of mobility. Small theatres so you can sit and rest at intervals throughout (3). Enjoy!

To be honest, I'm not much of a country music fan - but when in Nashville, right? The collection at this museum is vast, and you could easily spend hours here. Being a bit of an outsider to the genre, I would have loved a little more context for many of the displays, but maybe that's on me.

This is a MUST DO! when your in Nashville!! We had a great time learning all about the history of country music and all about current country music!! WOW! so much cool stuff! What a fun time! We paid for the guided tour and that helped a lot and I definitely recommend it. It was just a simple device that you put in the number of the display that your looking at and it tells you all about it. They have the Elvis limousine in there and so many other cool things. Go check this place out it is so cool!

Fun experience with lots to look at. There are interactive things as well as items to view of all sizes and types. Lots of history for those interested, and easy to walk through as fast or as slowly as you'd like. Plan on at least an hour to walk around and maybe longer especially if you're a country fan. There's a nice gift shop as well as a snack stand with lots of seating indoors and out. A lovely place to spend a hot Tennessee afternoon.

My family and I loved learning the history of each Hall of Fame musician and songwriters! Our kids discovered that there was proof that a lot of the music they listen to now was and is richly influenced by so many in the Country Music industry and not just something we told them to expand their music choices. There is also some fun interactive games and a recording studio that you can save and email to yourself that the whole family will have fun with.

This was my 2nd visit, a first with other people in the party. I enjoyed that exhibits had changed since I had originally been there, which had only been 5 months prior. Having exhibits that change on a regular basis will keep people wanting to continue to visit.
I saw things through fresh eyes, as this visit my child was with me. Country Music Hall of Fame is FULL of interactive things to do for children (and adults). The music petting zoo was a highlight!

Nice collection of all things country music. Worth a visit if you like history. Exhibits were good. Audio devices are worth it as it was crowded and allowed me to stand away from exhibits while others bunched around to read the info in the exhibit. I enjoyed the video and audio items the most. The interactive portions were a creative touch.

This place is absolutely amazing. If you are into country music, or just music or history in general, then do yourselves a favor and go and check out the Country music hall of fame. They have so so many incredible exhibits and musicians that are featured in this huge and expansive building. So many incredible artifacts that are on display. The sheer history in this building is absolutely fantastic.

I don't know much about country music. I am here as a pure tourist. It's a great place to visit when you come to Nashville. It covers almost famous country music singers in history. Briefly introduced them and also displayed their stage dresses and instruments. There is even a recording section to let you play around. A nice place for all ages and families. I had a good time here. Recommended!!

So, i am not a giant country music fan. This is still great museum with loads of interactive displays, videos, and loads of detail in every display. If you're a country fan, it would be easy to spend 2 to 3 hours here. We spent about 1.5 hrs wandering through. I would not suggest it to younger kids unless they are music history fans.
Heads up, if you walk past the gift store, there are at least 2-3 places to have a bit to eat. The lobby restaurant was packed on our visit and a bit of a zoo.

I grew up listening to the old country music with my Pop Pop and transitioned into more recent country in my adult years. This place has it all. I loved getting to soak up the history and actually see what I'd consider lost artists in this fast past world. I'd give it 5 stars on one condition if there was NO TAYLOR SWIFT. She faked a country accent and has no place there. Completely ruined my first impression when her big, annoying name was the first thing you see whenever you get off the elevator. It's disrespectful to the other country music artists who worked hard to get to where they're at. She has a place, but not at this museum.

Went on Dec 22nd. Purchased tickets online and paid the extra $5 for the audio player. I'm a 52 yr old man who has listened to country music since I was a baby. This was my first time in Nashville, and I was very eager to visit this museum. The history of country music was well represented. I would have liked to have seen more of the blues influence, but I get that it's a different genre.
The displays were done very nicely, and the entire museum was impressive. If you go, get tickets online... it'll get you in much quicker. If I were to do it again, I would not rent the audio player.

The Parthenon in Centennial Park, a replica of the original Athenian Parthenon, was constructed in 1897 as part of the Tennessee Centennial Exposition. This full-scale replica serves as an art museum and showcases a collection of American artworks from the 19th and 20th centuries.
Definitely, definitely a must see when visiting Nashville- Such a beautiful structure! The process and history are very fascinating. Although we visited on a bitter cold day, we spent a fair amount of time on the outside and inside exploring. The way the old remnants are displayed at the end of the museum were presented very nicely so you could see what part they came from the top frame of the building. The park is also quite tranquil, it’d be an ideal place to read a book or just relax. We’ll be back to visit on a warmer day for sure!
Dee Ketterman — Google review
Loved it! Wish I would’ve gone during the daytime to first enjoy the park and then visit inside as it gets dark out. Worth the $10. Fairly quick if you don’t stop to read all the information pertaining to the exhibits. I do, it’s informative and descriptive enough to allow you to transport in time! Recommend! Go for it!

The Parthenon was built in 1897 as the Athens of the South for the TN Expo representing the numerous colleges locally such as Vanderbilt. It is an exact replica of the Parthenon in Greece and simply magnificent! If you have not visited you simply must. The inside is beyond incredible with the statue of Athena as the main attraction. She is just lovely! The outside is used for Weddings, Soccer games, Picnics, Walking your Fur baby;)
The Park is very nice with the water and being able to take children and feed the ducks also. (REMEMBER No bread! only bite size pieces such as oats, lettuce, rice and sweet corn.)
This is worth visiting more than once! The park is free outside as well as parking. There is a charge for inside. Adults are $10, Seniors and children $8, Babies Free.

Pretty interesting stop. Was inside the Parthenon for about 45 minutes. Nice look into who and why they build it. Doesn't have too much Greek history and myths but it has a small amount. More of the museum was dedicated to the actual act of building it and the time it was built. Kinda wish there was more on the Greek history and why they choose the Parthenon of all things back when they built it for the fare but overall still kinda interesting if you need to kill some time.

The Parthenon in Nashville is an absolute must-visit! Nestled in the beautiful Centennial Park, this stunning replica of the original Parthenon in Athens is a testament to architectural excellence. From the moment you approach the towering columns, you're transported to ancient Greece.
Inside, you'll find the 42-foot-tall statue of Athena Parthenos, an engineering marvel in itself. The attention to detail is remarkable.
What sets this attraction apart is its serene setting within the park. The surrounding gardens are perfect for a leisurely stroll or a picnic. It's a wonderful place to unwind and soak in some culture while in the heart of Music City. The stalls in the garden sells amazing Lemonade, Sorbet, and Shaved Ice. I always have ‘Old Fashion’ Lemonade from the ‘Pucker Hut’ lemonade stall every time I visit here.
The Parthenon is a symbol of Nashville's rich cultural diversity, and whether you're a history enthusiast, an art lover, or just a curious traveler, you'll find something to appreciate here. Don't forget your camera – this is a spot you'll want to capture and remember! 🏛️🌿📸
Overall, a true gem in Nashville that combines art, history, and natural beauty. Highly recommended for all ages.

A unique gem in the city of Nashville. This is a fun museum for adults and children interested in ancient history. Plenty of art pieces and interactive pieces. The big statue of Athena is a great sight to see. The replica is 1:1 scale. The park right outside is a great spot for people to enjoy a picnic or just enjoy the outdoors.

A nice little museum for those who enjoy art and history. When we visited there was a display from some modern artists, more historical paintings, as well as displays detailing the 1987 Tennessee Centennial and International Exposition (for which the Parthenon replica was built), and displays detailing the building of the Parthenon and its contents. The statue of Athena is impressively large in person and worth the cost of admittance on its own ($10).
We went on a weekday so it was not crowded at all, and spent about an hour walking through it slowly and reading the plaques. If you don’t care to stop and read everything you could probably blow through in 20 minutes or less.
There is free parking just a short walk from the Parthenon, though even on a slow weekday it was pretty full with only one or two spots open when we arrived.

I never knew this place existed in Nashville but it’s an incredible experience to be able to step back in time and see the Greek Parthenon built to scale with amazing detail, complete with a golden statue of Nike and Athena. I’m a fan of history and architecture and this was a great find. For $10 admission cost, it’s absolutely worth the price of admission to experience it. The scale of the statue alone is incredible when you take a moment to realize that the small figure in Athena’s hand is 6’4” tall! We got there from Broadway on Old Town Trolley that drops you off right at the front of the Parthenon. We didn’t spend too much time in the museum itself but there’s more to see here for those interested. Recommended and photos don’t do it justice. Go see it in person!

I spent about an hour and a half reading and viewing the items in the Parthenon. There were interactive exhibits, nice art, and looking at the sculptures and particularly Athena is a sight that can’t be put into words. The customer service was great! Gift shop has something for everyone and at tourist prices. 4.5/5 stars because I wish it didn’t smell like a Greece-y fart the whole time.

What a fun experience! We have wanted to come here for a while and finally had the chance. The building is incredible inside and out. Further, the history of the whole area was facinating. It is such a good thing that the Parthenon was saved and restored. The museum was only $10 per person and was well worth it.
Seeing the giant (41' tall) Athena sculpture was incredible. This a well managed and well designed place. What a great experience for people of all ages.

The Athena statue on the second floor is worth the price of admission, which will be more expensive if you pay with a credit card. Discounts for teachers, nurses and more with ID. Such a cool building, and I loved the first floor exhibition on Repatriation of artwork. Such an important topic that needs to be talked about. It’s located in Centennial Park with a nice pond and benches to sit in the shade.

Doesn’t matter whether you are interested in Greek mythology or not, visit this place. Parthenon is the ancient Greek temple of goddess Athena. This one is the only full size replica of the original. This is huge with a humongous statue of Athena inside. I loved it. It’s a must visit place if you are around.

Most definitely worth a visit!! An incredible structure full of history and details! The museum isn’t large, but the art is so beautiful. Everything was so enjoyable. Our tour guide John Taylor was wonderful, he was so incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, he made the experience all the more worthwhile! I highly recommend checking it out!

The Parthenon in Nashville is a true gem of a replica, capturing the grandeur and beauty of the original in Greece. Nestled in Centennial Park, this architectural marvel transports you to ancient Athens. The meticulous attention to detail in its construction is awe-inspiring, from the colossal Athena Parthenos statue to the Doric columns.
Walking through the grand entrance, you're immediately enveloped in the rich history and culture it represents. The art gallery within is a treasure trove of classical art, adding depth to your visit. The lush park surroundings provide the perfect backdrop for photos and a leisurely stroll.
Visiting the Parthenon is an enriching experience, offering a profound connection to the past. It's a must-see attraction in Nashville that will leave you with a sense of wonder and appreciation for the enduring legacy of ancient Greece!

Super cool replica of the actual Parthenon in Athens. I’ve actually been to the original and it was really neat seeing them replicate such an amazing part of Greek history. If you’re unable to travel to Greece, this is a really cool spot to check out if you’re a local in Tennessee.

At first, the idea of a 1:1 scale replica of the Parthenon was ludicrous to me. After visiting and learning some of the history behind it, I’m much less confused, and much more impressed. Waaay cool, definitely worth checking out. The statue of Athena is amazing (don’t love the eyes though, lol).

Excellent place to visit, lot of fantastic artwork and plenty of oddities to check out like silverware, artwork, clothing, musical instruments, armor, and stone carvings. The money is well worth the price and they do offer military discounts as well! If you ever come by Nashville, TN, then be sure to drop by here for some great sights!

Grand and impressive. The Parthenon’s exposure to sun and shadow is magical to my eyes. Didn’t go in the museum because of limited time, but just the structure itself was so worth to stop by. Parking is free and plenty. Also there is a small park and beautiful garden area for walking. Very relaxing and peaceful.

Very cool place. Odd location but there is some method to the madness. This place is exactly what I would picture the Parthenon to had looked like way back when, but obviously a scaled down version (which makes it even cooler!)
We had no wait time coming in, but looked like a little line as we came out. Nice park where the Parthenon is located.

Just WoW 🤩🤩! A must visit place in Nashville. Everything here is awesome! Amazing painting 🖼️ and art work exhibited here with the great Athena statue!
One could easily spend couple of hours here! The architecture is mesmerizing and feels great hanging around the building! Well maintained and appreciate staff’s efforts!
$10 entry fee ($8 discounted for students and elderly) is worth and could grab some souvenir as well! It was a bit crowded during a weekday!

This is such a cool experience. There is such much history to read inside, about the building/local history, the original Parthenon, and even local art inside. We went on a Saturday around 11 30am and on a cold day and it wasn’t too full. No wait to get in. When we left around 1 30 it was pretty packed. The coolest part is we got to the Nashville traveling Opera perform inside. We didn’t even know they were on tour that day and it was free. Yay. Had an amazing time.

Decently fun to see from the outside. Worth the visit! I didn't pay to explore the inside because I don't know if it would be worth it. They should consider changing to a free model with donation bins everywhere. Add some more outdoor attractions. I know this isn't as easy as a flip of a switch and that this potentially attracts people that others may consider "undesirable," but other cities make this work well and they thrive.
Not a criticism either, and I genuinely appreciate the work that has gone into what's already here. 👏👏👏 Just throwing it out there as I think it could work well here. I could also be wrong and may be missing critical details or perspective. It's neat and worth checking out!

If you have never been to The Parthenon in Nashville, then I would definitely consider checking out this amazing and entertaining tourist attraction right in the heart of Centennial Park in Nashville. The building is a full scale replica of the Parthenon in Athens Greece. The giant gold statue of Athena in the second level is extremely impressive and quite a marvel to set eyes upon. The bottom floor of the building has an impressive art gallery collection. They have ancient sculptures throughout the building as well that are really neat historical artifacts. This is one of the coolest tourist attractions that I have ever been to. Highly recommend.

I've seen the real deal in person and there is still an immense amount of wonder and awe with seeing this replica... maybe even more so since it is complete and has colors.
The statue inside is reason enough to pay the entry fee.
I loved every exhibit and am glad we swung by. It was a stop on our hop on hop off tour, and if it is for you as well, do it.

This is one of the greatest architectural buildings in west Nashville. THE replica of the real ancient Parthenon in Athens. I’ve never seen this in perfect till yesterday and it was an amazing experience. Was the perfect day already, sun was shine and just a little wind, bad@ss hotdog stand setup and had great American franks lol. The scene was amazing, they really have it setup nice, very open, wide sidewalks, security was surprising nice, not everywhere just patrolling where needed. And it also had a huge open field, threw the football for at least an hour it had a ton of room to run. Long story short it is like a park where you can be yourself bike,skate, walk, run, whatever (legally ;) and enjoy the scene and the insane history just sitting pretty. Although these pics make it seem like your already there, if you haven’t been you need to check it out 🤙

The outside is beautiful. There’s a kiddie park and an open air field to hang out in or to have a picnic. Seeing the Athena statue was amazing for my eyes. Very grand, very beautiful. Her temple was simple and deserves respect when you walk in. The rest of the museum was cool, but very basic. The entrance price is a reasonable $10, but I feel the gift shop shirts should be lowered from $30 to $15. I’d go visit again if I’m in town again. I gave it 4 stars because it was a very small and basic museum. Seems to be built around the Athena, besides seeing her there is nothing more to see.
The Sam Davis Home is a museum located in a rural setting that was once a Civil War soldier's 1810 house with cotton farm grounds. It presents the experience of slaves during that time period. The museum offers a glimpse into history and visitors can also explore other nearby historical sites such as Rippavilla Plantation, Lotz House Museum, and Winstead Hill Park. Whether visiting alone or with children, there is fun and learning to be had for all at this great destination.
If you get a chance you should visit this historic site. We did today. We had a great time. We were lucky they were not too busy.

I’ve been meaning to visit a plantation but well having the time to go and look, they have here a museum first you watch a short film on the life of Sam Davis then afterwards your given an informative tour of the main house and given info on what happened and that the owner was actually really good to the slaves that they had.

This is a beautiful home to your and a wonderful part of Middle Tennessee.

Our guide (curator) was very interesting and informative. Hearing the history of the home and Sam Davis was interesting.
Really nice tour and explanation of the Nissan plant in Smyrna, Tennessee. Tuesdays and Thursdays are free tours, provided by highly experienced and very knowledgeable employees of the plant. You go through different areas: stamping, body and chassis, paint, as well as many other departments of building a car.
They explained the different models that are built here and why some are dropped, increased or decreased production. Good explanation of how and many of the functions that go into building a car.
After some history and general information is given in the meeting room, you then go out onto a tram that circles, the plant, over a mile long.
No pictures of the plant itself can be taken to avoid giving out information to the public ahead of time.
Gift shop at the end with pretty neat goods. Nissan is a quality vehicle and this tour is highly recommended.
Thank you Nissan!

Okay job, but do not work in maintenance dept for body shop. Supervisor is very stressed and only cares about what you can do for him. You will literally sit on the production floor the whole shift being that there is no maintenance shop. Rarely can take breaks! Also equipment is very outdated. Don’t believe me? You will once you get here! You have been warned! One last thing low pay top out is 33

Nissan lack the true definition of what equal employment opportunity means. They would rather not hire an individual who can be an asset to the Company due to scores even if they showed they can be reliable and was on time for every appointment that was set up. Honestly that's not fair and definitely doesn't demonstrate equal employment opportunity. Just because an individual wasn't fast with their hands as if they're being treated like robots, they would rather not give them a chance to improve without having to go to a temporary Agency. That's why you have this thing called training to help and encourage and individual to do better. Then you can't even take the assessment test until after a year? That's ludicrous! Thank you for wasting my time NISSAN!

Good place to work with steady hours decent pay and optional overtime, fast paced industrial environment with a lot of cool robots and other machines to work with. They took care of us during the pandemic and made sure we had a job when others were not so fortunate.
I cannot take or post any photos inside per policy but there's some of the outside with cherry trees symbolizing the bond between this facility and Japan.

Don't buy Nissan Pathfinder 2023
I have the car a bit more then a month and have a leak from overhead lights and sun visor, each time raining.
So far Nissan Canada cannot help.
Case was opened with Nissan but so far no resolution to the leak.
I visited already Nissan local dealership 2 times and they can't fix.
Besid that after dealership released the car the overhead liner left dirty from mechanics hand's.
I did a research and many owners complaining having same issue with leaking.
Update:
So far 3 weeks passed since case was opened with Nissan and so far NO resolution.
Nissan customer service representative feeding me with answer that issue under investigation.
Pure customer service.
I did a big research many owners of 2022/23 complaining of having same issues and Nissan not helpful.

Why are your employees requesting Uber rides . When the security guards at the gates don’t understand English well enough to even know what Uber is much less let them thru the gate. Nissan makes a junk car and it shows thru the companies they outsource to.

I would give no stars if it was possible your security guard by the name of Greg Brymer was absolutely unprofessional the fact that he cussed me up one side and down the other shows just how much he appreciates his job at a corporate factory. He has a severe anger issue and needs to take counseling classes to get his anger under control preferably before he causes this corporation, millions and lawsuits… I was simply just trying to conduct a drop off and he got upset for absolutely no reason. He has no professionalism or people skills. A security position is no position for this individual.

Belle Meade Plantation is a plantation house and estate dating back to the 1840s, designed in the Greek Revival architectural style. It encompasses a vast 5,400-acre property that includes a thoroughbred horse farm, an original homestead, and a deer park. The centerpiece of the estate is a well-preserved Greek Revival Mansion, which now operates as a museum dedicated to preserving Tennessee's rich Victorian architecture and history.
Do you like history, bourbon, and wine??? I highly recommend this if you’re in Nashville. We started with a private bourbon tasting. Laura was a great hostess and provided interesting information. She definitely has a bright future in the adult beverage industry! We concluded our time sit a tour of the mansion and a wine tasting. Anastasia was a great tour guide and well educated on interesting history. If you take a mansion tour, you get a free wine tasting as well. Their tasting room is cute with many great candy/wine options. If you want the full experience, I would plan 2-3 hours of your day. We didn’t get to do a food pairing or try their meats but I hope to on our next trip. Cheers!

We loved this attraction. We thought it was so informative. A lot of history and the mansion tour was good. Only thing I would say is they would need to have tours spaced out more. Because sometimes it was hard to hear the tour guide while other tour was upstairs which was little annoying and hard to hear. But overall we love this tour and experience. Definitely buy tickets in advance. Free wine tasting after tour which was cool

Beautiful mansion and grounds. The tour of the mansion was very informative and the guide was happy to answer questions. A lot of history was covered in a short amount of time. The staff seem truly interested in discovering more of the history as well. A wine tasting was included as part of the ticket. Ended up taking home the carriage house white.
A great place to relax among magnolia trees and take in the rich history.

We did the plantation and mansion tours today ($45 combo). If you only choose one, do the mansion tour because you cannot enter the mansion otherwise but you can see the plantation grounds on your own and read the plaques scattered about. Casey was our tour guide and he was great. We were there 2.5 hours and had plenty of time to see everything, including wine tasting.

Step back in time with knowledgeable guides who walk you through this beautiful mansion. Uncovering the story of the Harding family and all they went through to get this place up and running. Finding out about the horses who sired so many winners over the years through the bloodline of horses at Belle Meade. The grounds are gorgeous with much to see and learn. Went with family who were not to keen on going but all enjoyed it at end of the day.

This is a great place if you enjoy history and wine. The mansion is a great place to learn about the generations who lived there including the owners and the slaves. It is rich in history, and the wines are amazing! They also had live music when we were there. The Meat & Three restaurant has great food options. It is a cafeteria style dining. You pick the foods you want and seat yourself. Overall great place to spend some time.

We enjoyed one of the family tours that Belle Meade offers - the tea time tour. As this was a new tour we were lucky enough to be the only ones on it! Kelsey was an awesome tour guide who took time to answer any questions we had. She has immense historical knowledge. After the tour we went to an upper floor balcony where a tea party was set up with cookies and different teas. Lemonade was also available. We were showed the 'proper' ways that tea was enjoyed back in the day and had plenty of time to enjoy ourselves while music played in the background. I would highly recommend this tour to all families!

Visited Belle Meade as a family with a small child. We enjoyed learning about the rich history of both the site and the state. It was wonderful to discover some kid-friendly activities, such as mini-golf and croquet, for when the history and walking got to be too much. All the food between the ice cream shop and the restaurant was delicious, but especially the ice cream and carrot cake. The only disappointment was discovering we paid a $25 premium to purchase a bottle of the Belle Meade Reserve Bourbon. After paying for admission, one would hope for a small discount, or at the very least, the same price as at the liquor store. My suggestion would be to skip buying it from here, and just get it when you get home.

My husband and I attended the bourbon tasting that they offer on the plantation and it was the highlight of our trip to Nashville! The grounds are beautiful and well-kept, you can feel the history that this place holds.
The tasting is held in the circular ice room and is about an hour long of tasty bourbon and a fun history lesson. They are very detailed and respectful to the history of the place. At the end we made the best old fashioned I have ever had. I liked that we were able to order items we had seen and tasted straight from the paper menu we were given and taking it to the winery to pick up.
We will definitely be back next time we visit Nashville.

This historic site is absolutely beautiful. It features a plantation home with rich history. There is also wine tasting with a friendly and energetic staff. We bellied up to the bar insidd the gift shop for our tasting, but i noticed that they had other wine tastings outdoors to help spread out the crowds. Theu have a wide variety of wines, we ended up purchasing two different types and also some delectable chocolates. It was very pleasant to walk around the grounds. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and funny. We had a great time!

It was nice, but felt quite short and missing something... trying to figure out what it is...
Unfortunately, they don't allow to take pictures inside of the mansion. But it was very dark inside anyway and not that big.
Wine tasting and bourbon tasting are definitely big attractions for tourists, also they do weddings and have a couple of nice spaces for the ceremonies.
The history was quite interesting. The slavery part is very sad.
I am comparing with the plantation we visited in Charlston, SC and this one wasn't close to it...
However, it is definitely worth a visit.

We really enjoy seeing different historical sights. Wife picked this one out and I had no idea what to expect. Turns out this was an interesting tour, an opportunity to learn, a time to reflect with meaningful conversations during the tours. Do yourself a favor, do more than the basic tour and wine tasting. Definitely do those (awesome) but try another option too. Might be worth your time. We met very nice people working here and enjoyed talking with others on the tour. Very cool and interesting time.

Went to watch the new Batman movie and the experience was overall really good. There was plenty of parking. The theater was clean and restrooms easily accessible.

The movie theater part of this is nice. I love the reclining chairs. But I suggest sneaking in snacks. The snack bar was over priced. The snack options are few and the food is mediocre. Barely edible. The popcorn wasn't even freshly popped. I saw the man cut open a large plastic bag of popcorn and dump in the holder. It tasted stale and unflavorful. My kids nachos were stale and cold. The bathroom was dirty and smelled funny.

Even though they really no longer offer a wide selection of snacks at the concession stand, they did still have gold ole popcorn and extremely over priced fountain drinks which brought back that feeling we all used to experience of damn I just ripped off. The good news with that it was much easier to bring in my own snacks and being able to purchase tickets in advance made it where you low-key could get out of your car walk in and go to the movie of your choice watch it and leave at no expense to you. You can also pick your seat/seats prior to your arrival as well, so hello perfect seat (or hello Karen who has no clue that's an option) Only down fall for me is the chairs are so comfy i literally paid$40 to take a nap.

Malco is really a nice theater. It's clean and has a nice atmosphere. Love the reclining seats. The reason for the 3 star rating is the concessions. The prices are high and the popcorn is bad. It's not popped fresh. It is prepopped and comes in a big plastic bag. They pour it into the popcorn machines. It's cold, stale, has no salt, and has no flavor. If you don't believe me, then watch to see if you see any popping going on or smell any fresh popcorn. I guarantee your microwave popcorn has more flavor and won't cost you 10.00.

Overall one of the better theaters to visit in the area. It is a little dated and aged in the halls and bathrooms, but the theater seats are actually brilliant and what you would expect for what you pay. Convenient to get in and out of and overall a pleasant experience. Although, you will have to sell at least one kidney in order to afford the concession stand. Good luck with that!

Ever since the remodel this has been a 5 star theater. Now they just need a 5 star staff to work it. Typically they have 3 to 4 star staff. I say this as there have been times when the staff has been more concerned with their phones than with service.

Cheekwood Estate and Gardens, situated on the western side of Nashville, is a sprawling estate from the 1930s that encompasses an art museum and picturesque botanical gardens. Covering 55 acres, this well-kept sanctuary features a cafe and gift shop. Originally owned by the Cheek family, the estate's mansion now serves as a museum displaying a diverse art collection comprising over 600 paintings, along with prints, drawings, photographs, and sculptures scattered throughout the beautiful gardens.
We have been several times to Cheekwood and each experience has been different. Each wonderful, special, and unique! We have invested in the membership and will definitely renew again. Wort every penny. Nothing better than beautiful landscape, art,music and food.

Beautiful kick-off for spring! Because it was day 1 there were food trucks and entertainment which added to the ambiance. Hyacinths and tulips were amazing! Be sure you don’t attend after a hard freeze because it will affect the display of the flowers.
The main building is under renovation so be aware that the bathrooms were port-a-potty trailers with steps to access. (There may be handicap accessible ones near the cafe, but that’s quite a trek.)

My wife and I are on vacation and stopped in Nashville to see some of the sites. We love nature and especially botanical gardens. Found Cheekwood via a net search and planned a visit. There are numerous themed gardens including children related areas. Very family friendly, but if you want to see everything plan on walking the 55 acres with that in mind. All the paths are well marked and I saw some older folks in wheelchairs and mobility scooters. You can tour the 130 year old house but we didn't do that. BRING YOUR CAMERA because you will fall in love with the picture possibilities. Highly recommended. My wife and I are in the 65-69 year old group.

Mansion was beautiful to walk around and interesting inside. Most of the rooms, you will not see or get close to. All the artwork displayed, I felt, was more important than the mansion's history, which is amazing. The grounds are nicely kept and worth the time to spend a slow afternoon admiring.
We had the best time zip lining with Tyler and Holly as our guides! They were great with our young son and, everyone in general-super sweet and super knowledgeable! I would recommend this for anyone visiting the area!!

It was my first time ever going zip lining. Me and my husband decided to go on the night adventure in Kingston Springs. Let me take a minute to brag on the amazing crew we had the pleasure of spending the time with. Tyler, Lexie and Joe were funny, great attitudes, fun, helpful and we truly enjoyed the time with them. We highly recommend going to adventure works and asking for these three. You won't regret it. We will be goin to their other locations asap.

Our kids had an awesome time ziplining as part of a birthday party! The ziplines were fast & fun! Brian was fantastic with the kids keeping things upbeat & fun! I felt confident that all safety procedures were followed and prioritized. The park is perfectly tucked back from the road giving you a true nature experience. We will definitely be back!

We had a great time zipping thru the trees. IT is shady and lovely. The zip lines are pretty cool...not the highest or fastest I've ever been on, but for only $60 you get almost 2 hours of zipping. The guides were great and very helpful. It was completely safe.

Went full moon zip lining here and had a blast. Only ten zip lines, but the cool factor was that it’s at night, they do a tandem run, there are glow sticks involved, and the people running it are really laid back. We had a great time!!!

Great experience. Had a ton of fun, team development, group thinking, and decision-making with unique circumstances and challenges. Would recommend to any team! Bryan was awesome!

You can't go wrong with Adventureworks. The whole experience was incredible. Mike was an amazingly fun (and funny) guide. My whole family - 6'5" me, my scared-of-heights-wife, and my two kids (5 1/2 and almost 8) - were blown away by our adventure in the trees. You're sure to leave happy and with great memories!

We did the Moonlight Zip lining and it was so much fun, our instructors/guides (Mary & Colin) were great fun, very experienced, were very organized and kept things moving. They even had glow sticks for everyone so we could see each other in the dark... Was such a laugh, the whole experience.... My only recommendations would be to take a small flashlight, use the bathroom at the gas station in town before you get there (bathrooms have no power or running water) as super creepy in the dark!! And tip your guides at the end, they deserve it, and have a great time.

Went canoeing here. I haven't had this much fun in a long while.... The float lasted about 3 hours after drop off. The views were so pretty and peaceful... Then came several rapids... Class 1... Maybe class 2. Very doable for a newbe! Both my date and I were both incredibly sore after paddling for three hours... Did see several snakes... AFTER that workout and then a hot shower... Out to dinner ! What an incredible day! Worth every sore muscle ache... Can't wait to go again!!!!

We had an awesome time on the river using foggy bottom. We caught about 25 fish all together and everything was great! Very professional business and will 100 % recommend using Foggy Bottom. Water was so nice, cold , and the scenery was amazing.

Very efficient and friendly and they have very colorful kayaks so it's easy to find. Drop you off in one area and then you end a few minutes walk from where you parked. It gets crowded on the weekends so try to get their early or have a reservation.

No shuttle back. Must walk along us-70 (speed limit 65 mph) with no shoulder to return their jackets and paddles. Not safe for young children. We were not told until we got out with our kayaks. Not a long walk, by any means, but the traffic was heavy enough to not be safe with our kids.

I love Foggy! Go there every day I can afford to. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and will go above and beyond to make sure you have a great time!

We had such a great time. Friendly staff and great experience from start to finish. Took us about 3 hours and we made pit stops along the way.

I've been coming here since I was a child (late 90s, early 2000s). Nothing has changed in all the years I've been coming here. Great service, great country people, reasonable prices for rentals. I've never had a problem coming here.

There is no point in booking a reservation.
Fun Experience - had to wait a while to get in the river though. We had a reservation and took two hours to actually finally get in the water. An hour wait for the ride to the river and an hour ride to actually get in the river. Either get there 1.5hrs before you actually want to get in the water, or stand around for at least an hour.
Foggy Bottom isn't the only kayaking/canoeing rental place that uses the same drop off zone. There were at least two other rental companies using the same drop off.
Otherwise - was super fun! Relaxing, the water only got maybe three feet deep. Probably took about 3 hours to complete.

Love Foggy Bottoms! It’s a long and gorgeous river kayak trip. The staff is easy to work with and friendly. Look forward to summers here ❤️

My daughter and I had so much fun. The prices are reasonable and this was our first time trying anything like this, but it was worth the adventure. We canoed this time. Next time we will kayak.

This was a fun float! If you avoid the rocks you'll have a great time 😅. Staff was very helpful and nice. Taking off one star because our kayaks were all dirty on the inside where you sit. A simple hosing off of the kayaks would fix this issue. Other than that, our experience was great!
