What a beautiful site to see! We stayed about a block away and it was a wonderful walk in the morning to see the sites. Easy walk, not many hills or steps. There were people standing in front of the building preaching with a speaker, which was a little irritating. Did not check out the museum on this but it looked interesting.

My hotel was across the street from the park so I wanted to run/walk around to take photos. I was happy to see other joggers. There is a nice sculpture dedicated to Women’s Suffrage as well as the Parthenon. It is nice for anyone to take a stroll and great photos.

This time we missed the ringing of the bells. Great to time your visit to the park to hear them. Worth taking time to visit the park.

Pretty quirky, seeing the Parthenon in Nashville. The park is a pretty setting for it and don't miss the photos of what it looked like when it was built for the Exposition.

A very large but accessible park. See the Parthenon is the primary attraction. The on-site parking didn't seem very large, but there seems to be parking around it.

Walked around the building and grounds. The grounds are nicely keep. You can follow an audio experience to learn more about the buildings architect and design. We did not go inside. We spent approx. 1 1/2 hours roaming the area. Plenty of parking.

Popular park yet room to roam. We visited on a beautiful day. Yet there were places to park & plenty of space to walk around.

We loved the replica of the Parthenon!! The entire park has offerings for the entire family. The variety of trees surrounding the pond were very interesting. Seeing kids and adults alike enjoying the park was a breath of fresh air.
