The best family resort in Nashville — Gaylord Opryland is a self-contained resort complex near the Grand Ole Opry with 9 acres of climate-controlled indoor gardens, the SoundWaves indoor/outdoor water park, multiple restaurants, and enough activity to keep families occupied for several days without leaving the property.
Why We Chose It
Gaylord Opryland operates on a scale unlike any other hotel in Nashville — 2,888 rooms across a complex that contains 9 acres of lush indoor gardens under glass atriums, an indoor river you can ride a flatboat through, the SoundWaves water park (indoor and outdoor), four pools, a full-service spa, and over a dozen dining options. It is not the most design-forward hotel in the city, but for families with children it is the premier resort option in Tennessee.
What Stands Out
- 9 acres indoor climate-controlled gardens | SoundWaves water park
- Most complete family resort in Nashville | 2,888 rooms
- Grand Ole Opry and Opry Mills adjacent | Multiple restaurants and pools
