Grand Ole Opry

Sure, the Grand Ole Opry is the radio show that made country music famous way back in 1925, but it’s also today’s ultimate live show for any country music fan. The show has had many homes (including the iconic Ryman Auditorium) but since 1974, it has lived at the Opry House – located near the Opry Mills Mall and the Gaylord Opryland Resort, 10 miles from Downtown Nashville.

Gaylord Opryland Resort

Gaylord Opryland Resort was opened in 1977 to support the Grand Ole Opry and Opryland USA – an amusement park at the time, which closed in 1997 and was replaced by the Opry Mills Mall. Now, the family resort is known for its sprawling glass atrium with 9 acres of indoor gardens, winding rivers and waterfalls, hundreds of luxury suites, award-winning shops and restaurants, a waterpark, beloved seasonal events, and constant live entertainment.
