About
The Grand Ole Opry is an iconic live performance show that made country music famous. As Nashville's number one attraction, it is a must-see for anyone who truly wants to experience Music City. Starting off as a radio broadcast in 1925, each daily show today is a unique mix of legendary music superstars and rising talents performing music or staging comedic shows and skits. Take a daytime tour of the theatre to walk in the footsteps of these stars and see what goes on behind the scenes. You can also upgrade your tickets to include guided post-show backstage passes and artist visits. – Tripadvisor

- Roger WDiagonal, Iowa56 contributionsGreat Show!Had great seats and saw a great show! We were hesitant about going because the only night we could go didn't have any "Stars", but they put on a great show! Parked at shopping mall nearby for free, valet was available.Visited September 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 16 September 2023
- JanOrlando, Florida277 contributionsShow was great. Don't waste money on backstage tourThe theatre was very nice. The show was great. Nice selection of concessions from popcorn and candy to flat breads. The show we saw was VERY GOOD. we did the after show backstage tour that was NOT worth the time or money.Visited September 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 21 September 2023

I have been twice now and highly recommend making a visit.Visited September 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 23 September 2023
- Matthew A J3 contributionsThe Grand Ole Opry was FANTASTIC!!!The Grand Ole Opry was a FANTASTIC experience for my wife and me. We sat front and center while enjoying the variety show. We listen to all genre of music, including country music. However, you don't need to be a big fan of country music to enjoy the production. They have something for everyone. Oh, you don't have to worry about a dress code either. It appeared that everyone was comfortable wearing whatever they felt like wearing. Cowboy hat and cowboy boots not required. Come casual, relax, and enjoy the show. Dr and Mrs. Matthew A JohnsonVisited September 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 24 September 2023
- JulietteNDFargo, North Dakota393 contributionsSurprisingly awesomeQuite surprised by this tour. It wasn’t on my list of places to go, but went because our friends wanted to. They even paid. I laughed and cried and took waaayy more pictures than I expected. I’m not really into country, but don’t hate it. I recommend it, theres a little more than meets the eye.Visited September 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 25 September 2023
- l gHampshire, United Kingdom230 contributionsAn absolute mustNo trip to Nashville would be complete without a trip to the Grand ole Opry. We saw a Friday night show here during our stay. What an experience. A beautiful building so full of history. Thoroughly enjoyed the show and all the amazing acts we saw. An absolute must.Visited September 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 27 September 2023
- hummin4uChattanooga, Tennessee69 contributionsInteresting even if you don't take the tourWe didn't go inside as we arrived a little late and really wanted to go eat. But we did tour around the area and there was a private event happening that evening so folks were bustling around getting things set up. Kind of interesting. The grounds were beautiful and we enjoyed the gift shop which was adjacent to the Opryland itself.Visited September 2023Travelled with familyWritten 6 October 2023
- hhteresaLogan, Ohio13 contributionsAlways a good show, but know before you goEven if you buy tickets before the performers are scheduled, rest assured it will be a great show. The variety of acts guarantees you will enjoy the show. The Opry has the friendliest staff of anyplace I have ever visited. There are guest services personnel patrolling the parking lot in golf carts. One of them noticed we were having difficulty purchasing parking by phone. He not only resolved the problem, but even gave us a ride to the venue! Know before you go: Pay for Opry parking in advance through the AXS app when you buy your show tickets. There is no parking attendant or kiosk!Visited October 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 14 October 2023
- nickswlonTeddington, United Kingdom471 contributionsProfessional Show with a good variety of acts.What a great show this was. I particularly liked the variety between the acts which gave you a good understanding of country music. It was a nice evening and I’d recommend it. Don’t forget to take your ID (even if you’re 63 and a quarter) if you want alcohol.Visited October 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 4 November 2023
- FandangoEspanol446 contributionsA LOT OF GLITTER WITH A COUPLE OF DIAMONDSThe place is packed with white people (Nashville needs a large black community) and everybody is well behaved. The seats surprisingly were very comfortable. However, apart from a young singer at the beginning and Don Schlitz, the other singers including Reba (I don't care how famous she is) are nothing but glitter and noise. The highlight was hearing Don Schlitz sing.Visited November 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 9 November 2023

If you love country music and the Grand Ole Opry is on your bucket list you will be disappointed when you see how they gouge every penny they can. What was a better parking option than the mall average has now gone up to 15.00. You have already paid an excessive amount for your show tickets and they have also taken up 24 or more close parking spots for valet parking so they can make yet more money off you. And they have one parking place for a pregnant lady. Why can’t all handicap spots be available for pregnant women? Their are lots of handicap spaces. Certainly more reasonable that just one spot for the pregnant women. We at one time could take our family and a friend for our daughter and it wasn’t so much that we couldn’t go. The company that owns it now, obviously does not care about families or those that used to be able to come but just can’t pay all the extra cost. Be prepared and come early enough to park a mile away with your kids. Otherwise, bring extra money to give the greedy owners that are using a great family time and popular place to visit because they don’t seem to have enough.

This review isn't about Nashville it's self.. We had a vacation booked with Expedia.ca We booked a package with them for flights and hotel. Now with the Coroniavires we have had to cancel. I called the Opry and had no problem cancelling, I called the Gerneral Jackson Showboat and had no problem cancelling. Expedia on the other hand has been a nightmare. Called on thursday got a person who said our system is upgrading so you will have to call back in 4 hours, Called Friday couldn't even get on said system was having difficulties. Called starting at 7 am Saturday was on hold and cut off so many times, finally talked to someone at 5 pm who said system was doing an upgrade call back in 4 hours. So this time I waited and called back in the 4 hours, was on hold for 3 1/2 hours which then brought it to mid night our time and still no answer. So here I am on Sunday morning trying all over again. been on hold now for 2 hours and getting really tired of elevater music.. Wish me luck. Beware of Expedia expecially if you want to cancel.

So happy we got to see such a wonderful show and back stage tour, that is a must .
Show began with the audience getting acquainted and then every artist performs for about 10 minutes . There’s was even a stand up comedian that was hilarious.
The back stage tour was great, we took in all the history of the Grand Ole Opry , our tour guide was wonderful and the best treat we got to meet and take photos with Jake Hoot that had just won The Voice and was performing for the first time on the Opry stage . He was so kind . We also got to take a photo on the Opry stage .
We parked by the movie theater which was right across the street from the Opry for free. If we’re back in Nashville we will definitely be coming back for the show

We visited Friday and Saturday night. The shows had several of the same artists, some sang the same song both nights, others sang different ones. Both nights were excellent but we wished they were more different, I’d recommend only going one night unless there’s someone specific you want to see both nights.

We went to the Grand Ole Opry. This was a must see for me since we were in Nashville. The Grand Ole Opry is probably a 20 minute drive from downtown Nashville. We happened to be staying close by. They were very Covid focused- taking your temp, spacing out and having to wear to mask all the time. Except if you’re eating or drinking. I didn’t really agree with wearing my mask with as much social distancing as they had based on the seating. Other than that 2 hours of great entertainment. We saw Riders in the Sky, Tyler Rich, Willams and Ree and Daily & Vincent which we my favorite of the 7 acts.
It’s a beautiful place, you sit on pews and it is next to Opryland.
Would go again and Park at the mall - no parking fee- Opryland had parking for a fee and both seemed to be the same amount of walking.

We had a blast at the Opry. We bought the VIP package and had access to the Circle Room pre-show and during the intermission.
Pre-show we had snacks and drinks and had a chance to meet and talk to Jeannie Seely who was engaging, funny and charming. We also had a photo taken.
The show was was excellent and worth every penny we paid for it. Our seats were central in the orchestra area so we could see everything very clearly. There was a great line up from very old and traditional country stars to new up and comers. John Oates also showed up on stage which was quite a surprise. Apparently big stars make appearances all the time.
The old fashioned radio announcer made the whole thing feel very retro. And some of the ads, read aloud, were so cheesy we laughed and laughed.
I would definitely do this again on my next visit :-)

Really enjoyed this show at the Ryman which was more rowdy than expected. Also didn't realise it is recorded live for tv and radio including the compete reading out live adverts which too us British was quite funny. We sat on pew style seats downstairs and fortunately our row wasn't full as would have been a bit of a squeeze. The show is fun and we enjoyed the music and comedy. A great range of country styles were performed. We eat beforehand in the canteen style Ryman cafe and the food was good but quite busy so allow plenty of time to eat before the show starts .

...AND I was not disappointed. Awesome. Joy filled. Fun filled. Absolutely fantastic. I have to say, however, that I was sad to not see the WSN 650 history celebrated through more memorabilia. It was that 50,000 watt transmitter that caused the mystique of “The Opry” to explode. I mean, everyone could hear The Opry on Saturday night, regardless of income and location. I can only imagine how the hearts of new performers raced as they approached the Ryman or Opry, and then stood on that stage, at that mic, for the first time. Loved it!!

The Grand Ole Opry is an iconic show in Nashville, Country Music and America. It is a must see for anyone enjoying a trip at Nashville, TN. The show is about two hours long and showcases talent from just on the stage to performers at it for many decades. We enjoyed headliners Terry Clark and Sawyer Brown, as well as newcomer Lainey Wilson. My show favorite was musician-comedian Gary Mule Deer. I laughed so hard my side hurt. Great Show

Even if you are not a country fan, you will enjoy a fast-paced show with a mix of around ten old-timers and rising stars. In some cases, the latter outperform the former. There’s a slightly annoying emcee to keep the show on track and insert a few sponsor ads along the way.
To beat the parking hassle, I recommend parking your car with the Gaylord hotel valet and taking the complimentary shuttle to and from the Oprey. If you take a bite to eat at the Gaylord, the valet parking is complimentary.

Hi, do you know what clearance is for vehicle in paid Opry house lot? Also, is there somewhere to unload wheelchair if there is not handicap parking with access aisle? Or outside before you park in garage.
Written 15 April 2024
Another very busy area. I would call the Opry House and ask these questions. When we went we had to walk very far to and from the lot. They must have a drop off for wheelchairs and handicap spaces. Get specific instructions and allow plenty of time so you don’t have to rush. It’s a big area.

Yes but would have to do this as part of a tour. You will get offered voucher as discount to show if you want to attend at a later date.

We park at the mall across the street which is free. We got there a couple of hours early both times we went and were able to find a spot near Dave & Busters and movie theater which is VERY close. We had plenty of time to eat at one of the many restaurants there. After the Opry we drove across the parking lot away from the Opry House to Opry Mills Drive then to McGavock Pk. Which is a super easy way to avoid post show traffic on the road right in front of the Opry house.

I just realized I purchased accessible seating and neither of us uses wheelchairs? Is that ok?
Written 5 February 2024
I’m not sure, would call them and check. Sometimes buying tickets is so difficult it’s no wonder people make errors.
It seems no questions were asked that would have alerted you that you were getting that type of tickets. Good luck.
They are nice there I’m sure they will try to help.

I think there is an RV park where the trolleys are. Can take a trolley to Dollywood very cheap. Hope that helps
