- Quilt Shop ChauffeurSchertz, Texas58 contributionsThis 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 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten April 19, 2024
- old-man-orangeOrange, Connecticut368 contributionsMy wife decided we needed to see a show - not just wander around Broadway seeking out local talent. There complex with hotel and theater is very big and spread out, and we parked in the lot for $20 - if you get there early enough just park near Dave and Busters for free. The night we went the show was 2.5 hours with Jelly Roll the feature artist. It was a great experience in a beautiful setting - even for a guy who is only a mild country music fan. A must do in NashvilleVisited February 2025Traveled with familyWritten February 21, 2025
- hbhakhRoanoke, Virginia2,357 contributionsWe 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 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten April 28, 2024
- Linda BRadcliff, Kentucky115 contributionsWent to a concert at the Grand Ole Opry is was amazing. We got to see 6 different bands with various variety of music. 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 2024Traveled with friendsWritten August 16, 2024
- Sue AlbanyAlbany, New York120 contributionsWent 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 2024Traveled with friendsWritten March 27, 2024
- Wendy P352 contributions4 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 2024Traveled with friendsWritten June 19, 2024

The Grand Ole Opry always gives a good show. My review is about the Premium Lounge Passes that I purchased well before the show on May 28, 2024. They were purchased on May 7, 2024 and picked up at will call the day of the show. Literally one hour and 15 minutes before the 6p.m. entrance to the Premium Lounge I was called and had my tickets cancelled. The excuse was that I was accidentally sold the tickets. There had been a private buyout for a group. Unbelievably disappointed. Poor customer service.

The Grand Ole Opry moved 10 miles northeast of Nashville from the smaller (2,362) Ryman to this 4,400 seat venue as the 6th Opry location in 1974. It is wedged in between the Gaylord Resort and Convention Center, the Opry Mills Mall, and the edge of a major highway and though nice just doesn't have the historic character or location of the Ryman. The interior is nice and modern, there is plenty of parking, and grounds around it are attractive. Tours are a little pricy, and it's a shame they have to charge $39 for the tour.

What is "The circle"? What is country music to people today? We decided to visit Grand Old Opry, and it paid off. Old Opry is an institution but one with standing ovations, new talents, old stars, and virtuosity.
We had seats in section 2, row L. The seats at the back are cheaper, and screens will make sure you can see the recording, but you're not in the Grand Old Opry to watch a recording. Those last $15 do make a difference. Drinks are expensive and nothing can be brought from outside (a purse is the maximum). Parking... there is plenty of free parking at the mall. Do go!

A lovely facility.
Very "factory" like feel to the entertainment presentation.
Caters to a certain demographic.
Best act of the evening was the comedian.
Would prefer more variety in the music.
If you enjoy the same old tired county music lyrics, you will enjoy the show.
Parking was easy and fast in and out. Got golf cart ride from car to building on cold night which was appreciated.

Even 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!

I fulfilled my wish to visit the Opry and it was really everything I thought it would be,,,and more. We didn't arrange a tour but were able to pick one up easily when we arrived and did the back stage tour which gave us views of the dressing rooms and culminated with going on stage and seeing the 'golden circle'. Unfortunately we could not time our trip to attend a show but .... gives me an excuse to go again! Was a fascinating trip. I would recommend using the public transport from Union St (about 5-10 minute walk from Broadway), No 4 bus if I remember. cost us $3 for an all day bus pass. Takes about an hour and you have to walk to the Opry either through the Mall or around it, but takes only a few minutes.

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.

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.

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.

Can you find out in advance who is playing or is it just pot luck on the night?
Written March 3, 2025
If you buy tickets in advance you can buy there - just as easy to just pay at parking next to building
If you drive in complex are - lots retail and restaurant businesses- lots of parking spots at Dave & Buster … park
Free and short walk to entrance of Grand Ol Oprey
Written March 3, 2025
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.
