Verified user reviews
The birthplace of country music in the United States, the music capital, is a must-visit for young people and music lovers. The locals are very friendly and the overall cost is not expensive. The city center is very prosperous with many parking spaces. It is very lively at night with various live performances on the bar street. The local specialty BBQ and fried chicken are worth recommending, they are delicious and not expensive. It is a good choice for young people to travel by car or for family travel!
Nashville is a very relaxing city, especially clean and beautiful. It is the music city of the United States, with music everywhere. There is not only the Music Hall of Fame to visit, but also many buildings and natural landscapes to see.

The Great Smoky Mountains Park has convenient transportation, with three entrances and exits in the east, south and west, all of which are connected by roads. The roads intersect with the park roads at different locations. The park roads are accessible to cars for self-driving tours, and there are also walking trails for hiking or horseback riding.

[Scenery] Even if you are not a huge country music fan, you can still be attracted by the entertainment factor of this place. I especially like the format of the performances here, as well as the number and range of movements. The entire performance will be broadcast live on the radio. The atmosphere is good, relaxed, friendly, and classic American music can also be heard. There is a small drawback, that is, the price of drinks is too high. If the price is reasonable, I believe more will be sold.
What a unique experience to witness live performances of country stars and comedian. Well worth the price and fun to be in attendance.The Opry store is open prior to venue hours and has great variety of items.We bought drinks and snacks that were pricey as expected at a high dollar venue.

As the music city of the United States, it is essential to visit the Hall of Fame to learn about American country music. It is a very beautiful place with a lot of information. You can also listen to and learn about many classic old songs. It is one of the most recommended attractions here.
I was exhausted after two days of walking and really wanted to relax, but we had already bought tickets so we had to go here. It was a very busy place with all the tourists reading about the various items, and some of the exhibits were up against glass so you couldn't see anything. If you take your time to look at all the items, you can learn a lot. There are a lot of celebrity clothes on display. The exhibits on Brooks and Dunn are great, and there is a wall dedicated to Kacey Muskgraves's items (it's the largest wall in the whole museum. I don't understand why, because there are so many other country singers I love). There is also a room with the Country Music Hall of Fame medals, which is very cool. This is my favorite part of the whole museum.

we love Dollywood. the staff is always so welcoming and helpful. always tons of shows going on throughout the day. rides for every age young to old.
Hooray for Dollywood!!What a fantastic theme park. I love the rustic vibes mixed in with the thrill rides.And you can't get anything better than a theme park dedicated to the Queen herself Dolly Parton.There were plenty of things to see and do here and some great food choice. We visited in November so a couple of the rides were shutdown for maintenance but we didn't feel like we were missing anything.The Christmas overlays were great and we had a great time singing along to the carols.Definitely going back and recommending everyone take the opportunity to visit if you can.
