- Sue AlbanyAlbany, New York120 contributionsDon't pass this byWent with a senior citizen group through COllette tours. Third time there. This is historic and a must go to if in town. Check the schedule and the performers. They do a nice job with staff helping and the video screens if you have a not so good seat (like I got). The performers make you feel at home. I'm not well versed in country music, but this was enjoyable. Easy to understand the words. Easy to sing along if you know it. Beautiful facility. Well kept. good bathrooms. GREAT gift shop!Visited March 2024Travelled with friendsWritten March 27, 2024
- Quilt Shop ChauffeurSchertz, Texas58 contributionsIconic Nashville; Understand How it WorksThis is an iconic show and must for any "old school" country music fan. Artists each play a few songs. If the Opry is on your must do list, you can pull the trigger and get tickets well in advace to assure a better seat. However, the lineup is in development over a period of time, so you can keep an eye out for preferred lineup if your nights are flexible. We went two nights. I was so excited to experience the Opry! Both nights the artists ranged from great to not so great IMO. Mostly really good. We got tickets for a 2nd night a few weeks before and still got decent balcony seats on the side(ish). Seats are bench style, which can make for tight fit. I booked the front row of the balcony, but that was uncomfortable with very tight leg room. Other balcony seats are more comfortable. View is decent from balcony. Parking tip: you can park for free at the mall across the street. We got there early and had dinner at the mall, which was OK. There don't seem to be any great places to eat with walking distance. If you park at mall, after the show head away from opry house across the parking lot which will minimize post show traffic.Visited May 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten April 19, 2024
- hbhakhRoanoke, Virginia2,352 contributionsGood showWe bought tickets to the Opry via their web site. This allowed us to pick our seats and the tickets were delivered via an app. We found it very easy to park at Opry Mills and walk over to the show. This made exiting the area very easy after the show. The electronic tickets allowed us to enter the theater very easily. Our seats had a good view from the lower section. All of the seats are benches. The show was very good. Several of the performers were long time Opry members but all of them put on a good show. We highly recommendVisited April 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten April 28, 2024
- Wendy P352 contributionsneed water for sale4 of us went to the Opry in May. The day was hot and I was totally surprised that the opry did not have tents up offering water for sale. There was 1 bar that we waited in line for about 40 minutes to get a drink. Please think about making water available outside.Visited May 2024Travelled with friendsWritten June 19, 2024

This was my first visit and I had difficulty with the app tickets are on. So we went to the office and got assistance. There was a line but things went fast. All the staff were pleasant to meet and help us. We had floor seat and a good view.Visited July 2024Travelled with friendsWritten August 16, 2024

This was our 3rd trip to the Grand Ole Opry and you are always guaranteed a good night out. It is a wonderful theatre seating just under 5000. Allocated seating in padded pews which gives a nice nod back to the Ryman. The line up of each show is different and the acts slowly get announced in the weeks leading up to it. It is likely if you book a long way in advance you will not know who you are going to see, but the Opry show is all about the experience and is bigger than any one artist. There are normally 6 or 7 acts on each performance ranging from up and coming artists, legends, and current mega stars. We recommend booking as far in advance as possible to get a good selection of seats.
There is a huge gift shop with a fantastic range of clothing, housewares, memorabilia, Christmas decorations (all year) and music. The shop is open throughout the day.
This show is a must when in Nashville and we cannot wait for visit number 4.

The Opry is a great experience with world class musicians and a fun friendly vibe. Starting with the web site and ticketing process, you can select tickets knowing exactly how you will see the stage because a small picture pops up showing the stage from your seat before your purchase. Prices were extremely fair for a world class experience and seeing top tier music talent.
Arriving at the Opry is easy. We took an Uber, but taxis were also an option. Getting dropped off at the entrance was beautiful and a short walk into the building. There are very few stairs and I'm sure there were ramps because everything at the Opry showed signs of accommodating those with handicaps. The staff and security were extremely welcoming and compared to going to other music venues, this was the best experience from curb to seat. Speaking of seats, I read other reviews that criticized the church pew seating, but I thought it was great and the pews are padded, so extremely comfortable.
There were lots of options for dinner both inside the Opry and at Opry Mills mall which is a very short walk and lots of choices. If you purchase food inside the Opry, you can bring it to your seat.
After the show, it's easy to get outside and back to the curb, however, be warned... it's a sea of taxis and limos. Our Uber driver called us and directed us to walk away from the chaos and we were on our way in minutes. I've attended many theatre and music events all over the world and I've NEVER see such a taxi cluster even outside grand central station in NYC, so be prepared!
Attending the Opry was a bucket list event and although I wouldn't rank myself as a huge country music buff, I thoroughly enjoyed the entire event.

Had the girlfriend with me for a quick weekend hanging out on Broadway and decided we needed to go full Nashville experience and hit the iconic Opry. Looking at tickets online we felt the prices were too much, plus it was going to be a $50 Uber from downtown. We stopped to chat with the concierge at the Dream Nashville and she got us tickets for only $50! We were on our way. Reading reviews before we left, made it sound like the Opry only had basic concessions so we started with some drinks across the street, which turned out to be a bust... Hint, read my review for ClaimJumper, waste of time... Anyway they do a full bar available inside the Opry! I got a yummy Tito and cranberry. My hot baby grabbed a Tito and pineapple. Yummy. Our seats were pretty far up in the balcony but still a great view and they do have large monitors to supplement. The show is you watching the radio show unfold. We saw 4 separate acts broken up by the usual commercial radio banter. There were less Ubers available after than expected so plan ahead.

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 .

There is alot of parking if you want to pay to close I think it was $20.00 for parking you can or you can park a little farther for free and walk. All depends on what is comfortable to you. After the show there are cars all over trying to get out or you can wait and visit other places to eat or shop.

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 February 5, 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.
