There is a huge amount of Country music history contained here and you need to allow yourself plenty of time to see it/read it all! The displays were ok, it was kind of like a Hard Rock Cafe without food... The biggest thing to stomach was the cost! In my opinion, it is way expensive for what you are getting!... More

The Country Music Hall of Fame was interesting but a little bit disappointing. We had toured the Opryland Museum on an earlier visit and really enjoyed it as much, probably more,,, and it was free! So considering that, I guess we were expecting a little bit more for the money. It is an interesting tour and you can spend as... More

If looking at outfits and records on the wall is your idea of a great time, then you're in luck! It was fun and interesting, but nothing to write home about.

If you like country music, this is a great place to spend a couple of hours. The history is amazing. The displays are top notch, we especially liked seeing the cars. Who knew they could put a TV in a car back in the 1950s?

If your a country fan, this museum is a must. Plan on spending several hours. The PATSY CLINE exhibit is here now.The gift shop has everything you would ever want for souvenirs.

I was expecting a lot more. I feel this location is over priced for what you get to see. We spent a little over an hour walking through. Just not overly impressed with the displays. We even got a AAA discount. Just not worth the money. Enjoyed stopping in the honky tonks and listening to live music much better.

This was a really fun place to go, and it feels like you have to, since you're in Nashville. It's a little pricey, but you can get $2 off by showing your AAA card. The museum is full of artifacts from huge country music singers, and those who are less well known (at least to someone who isn't a huge... More

You just have to see this. So many in the Hall of Fame and the gold discs form them all. The artefacts that they have from the stars. Elvis' gold car and his gold piano. Whilst we were visiting there was a special exhibition of Patsy Cline . It bought a tear to your eye Amazing place

We were there during the last week of the Patsy Cline exhibit and it was very interesting and well done. The whole museum is nicely done, well laid out, easy to get around and see stuff. A lot of videos and that was definitely the best part. Especially one in a little 'theatre' tucked away - a whole history of... More
