    Our first time and now I get why this is such a special place. We came when they were honoring the music of Don Williams and the stars came out for this opportunity to thank him. Trisha Yearwood and Keith Urban were the most familiar and each shared their personal stories of how Don has influenced their lives. John Foster, an American Idol winner, opened the night with Tulsa Time. The Isaac's were amazing and their harmonies unforgettable. We loved the relaxed feel of the event and and how respectful the audience was of the stories being shared. It was by far the most enjoyable concert I've ever attended, and I wasn't a country music lover prior. That is changing as a result and I bought a t-shirt to show it. We came early and parked at the mall where we had dinner. This allowed us to walk to the Opry afterwards. There are lots of stairs which I think would be challenging for someone who struggles with walking.

    Honest experience review: Want to cry like a grown up? Live the history of country music first hand with this tour. 5/5, would recommend it to anyone in the area. Was in town for Alan Jackson's final concert so when in the area? Why not visit country's hall of fame. From historic music lessons, to entertainment that's still aired on iHeart radio, you're touring where the past and future greats are privileged to perform. While shows are still going and people are still being inducted and asked to join the family of greatness. Tears or joy are found as you hear the passion and feel the greatness. Walking through the halls, through the rooms, through the stage!!!! Where you get to take a picture on the stage itself.... Just an experience as a musician myself, would say anyone would appreciate. Such an honor to walk the stage many future greats will be walk. Grateful for all the work that exists to preserve this history.

    Take the tour, it was great seeing the backstage areas and stepping on stage- Verycool! Get your pic inside the circle, IYKYK...

    This was an experience I was NOT ready for but very happy that this is now a locked in memory that I got to experience. For a bachelor party, one of the guys booked tickets for us to go to a show. I personally knew none of the lineup that was performing throughout the evening but still wanted to go and check this out anyways. Walking up to the place, nothing too special. As you got closer, the flair started to show of how great this place is. Then walking in....WOW! Not what I expected at all. The decor is incredible. It's so hard to explain so you have to see it for yourself. Likewise when you get in to your seats (we were on the first level), sitting down to look at the stage is just something so unique and different from a typical music venue. Usually the shows are broadcasted live to a radio station, so they really put out a good show each night. You could lightly talk to people around you during the shows, so it wasn't incredibly loud like most places. The lights that were behind the different performers felt so nice on your eyes too. Everyone sounded great and the last guy had been performing for over 50 years! They still brought him out and he put on a heck of a closing performance! It was sad to walk out of this place. My friends felt the same way, we did a lap of the place and stuck around in the gift shop for a bit to continue absorbing the evening. We still even stood outside for a while taking pictures. The Grand Ole Opry...is something! Words can barely describe this place. You have to see it yourself, pictures don't do the justice.

    I attended a concert and went on the tour at the Grand Old Opry. Both were absolutely terrific. The backstage tour was far more involved than I would have expected, full of cool trivia and a great photo op. And of course the room is legendary for a reason. This place is known everywhere for a reason. A visit isn't cheap, but it's money well spent.

    The Grand Ole Opry is the iconic venue that you really have to see if you're in Nashville. A perhaps lesser example is First Avenue/7th Street Annex in Minneapolis. It also doesn't hurt to have seen the Ken Burns Country Music production to add a bit of history and context to this place and Ryman. Auditorium. It's a decent Taxi/Uber ride out here (and back), with drop off and finding one to go back pretty easy. There are snacks and a gift shop here, but if you want to make it a dinner and a show, there are places nearby. Gayle and I, along with Erin and Jim attended the April 30 performance of Opry Country Classics. The Larry Gatlin (and Brothers) were the MCs, with the Opry band handling the backup music, and Charlie Mattos doing the folksy "Play by Play", all live on WSM (We Shield Millions) Radio. Performers were Janie Fricke, Hanna Dasher, Moe Bandy, and Daily and Vincent as the featured artist. It was a great show! We had a nice 4 seat pew near the front, the sight lines (direct and via screens) were clear, and the sound quality/mix was excellent. Daily and Vincent (with the guest banjo player) were fantastic and I've already preordered their next album. The only minor irritation was Hanna Dasher shamelessly promoting her cook book (Stand by Your Pan), but even that added to the high quality entertainment value of this show. I'd love to experience this again.

    The Grand Ole Opry is a legendary institution celebrating its centennial in 2026. I have been to many shows here and they have been always fun and family friendly, even if the humor is a bit corny at times. We traveled up from Austin to see Orville Peck's debut. Although he was limited by an untimely case of laryngitis, the show was still great with a full bill of talent including Mickey Guyton, Kaitlin Butts, Cleto Cordero (Flatland Cavalry), Dasha, and Margo Price. The only annoyance was the constant movement of two cameramen providing the feed for the big screens as they kept walking in front of us. Highly recommended.

    The Grand Ole Opry refers to a live country music radio broadcast, not a theater. Founded on November 28, 1925, it is the longest-running radio broadcast in US history, with over 5,200 episodes. The Grand Ole Opry has operated out of several venues, and since 1974, performances have been in the Grand Ole Opry House; previously, it was the Ryman Auditorium in downtown Nashville between 1943 to 1974. This year (2026) is a special year, as the Grand Ole Opry turns 100, and on February 28, 2026, there was a performance to celebrate 25 year anniversary of the movie "O Brother Where Art Thou?" The movie is well known for its soundtrack, and it introduced bluegrass music to a new generation. Performing were several artists from the soundtrack, such as Alison Krauss (my fifth time seeing her!), Emmylou Harris, Dan Tyminski, The Whites, The Fairfield Four, and the actor Tim Blake Nelson. There were also numerous other artists performing songs from the soundtrack such as Old Crow Medicine Show, Billy Strings, Sarah Jarosz, Molly Tuttle, Jerry Douglas, Stuart Duncan, and many, many more. Even though I didn't know most of the performers, I really enjoyed the show. After the performance, there was a Q&A with Tim Blake Nelson, Dan Tyminski, and Chris Thomas King.

    Doc decided to show Hubs the Opry cuz he wasn't with us on one of our cross country USA trips. Nice to come before 8 am when only the maintenance drivers are around. Soft spot in our hearts cuz couple of summers ago we were supposed to come but change of plans. Works out cuz we are here now, heading to Dollywood tomorrow. Side note: guess what Doc named her car years ago when she first got it. Did you guess?

    Such a wonderful experience. We were here for our Anniversary and the Grand Ole Opry was on the list A very incredible experience. We saw the Gatlin Brothers, Jaelee Robert's, the Isaacs, John Foster and The Oak Ridge Boys. It was a wonderful evening. Then after the show we took the back stage tour. Very good night

    We had a wonderful time celebrating our 51st anniversary attending the Grand Ole Opry. Saw a lot of great performers & wonderful music & comedy. Comfortable padded church pews for seating. Our seats Section 7 far Left of stage. Row C seats 3 & 4. Purchased tickets 4 days before.

    Matt B.

    We bought tickets and were able to attend a show on a Saturday night during the 100th year of the Opry. We had a great time, although they really pack the rows of pews with people. I deducted a star because of the chaotic self-serve concession stands. There's no system or organization to help people get their concessions and then pay for the items.

    Debbie G.

    This was our first time yo the Grand Ole Opry. We had great seats, 7 rows from the front on the right. I had only heard of the Gatlin Brothers on the line up but each performer was fantastic. They each song three Christmas songs. We had the pleasure of two identical twins turning 90 sitting in front of us. They were so sweet! Such a joy! We will definitely plan another trip to this place on a return visit. Enjoy!

    Ask the Community - Grand Ole Opry

    Name upscale hotels near Grand OO, please?

    Gaylord Opryland Resort

    Where to eat near Opry?

    There are a number of restaurants nearby & at Opry Mills Mall next door.

    Are there any good bars or restaurants before the show to go to that is walking distance to the Grand Old Opry?

    Not like there are close to the Ryman. We were very surprised by that. The mall has Chili's and other places like that. There is a Paula Deen place there as well.

    What is the name of the music center in Nashville?

    Ryman Auditorium

    How long is the daytime tour?

    45min-1hr depending on who your tour guide is!😊

    We're visiting Nashville for the first time for a weekend. We want to check out the Grand Ole Opry, but don't know any of the performers that will be there when we're in town. Is it still worth attending for the experience?

    I would say yes! It's a memorable experience. If you enjoy country music you will enjoy just being there listening to a live performance and watching the broadcast unfold. It's great!

    For the Grand Ole Opry House is back of mezzanine better than back of main floor?

    NO I think being as close as you can is best even if it's on the floor. They do have big screens to see no matter where you sit.

    Hey there coming into Nashville for the weekend- I noticed that tickets for shows at the Grand Ole Opry House are not starting till feb but there seem to be shows at Opry at the ryhman. Can someone give a newbie tips, what's the difference?

    The Ryman Theatre is where the Opry started. The show got popular and they built the Grand Ole Opry to accommodate a bigger audience. They move back to the Ryman during the holidays to remember that it all started there.… 

    Any parking tips and pre-show dinner ideas!? Did I read somewhere about parking along the side of the venue for a faster exit? What time should we arrive for a 7pm show? Appreciate your tips! Thanks!

    Parking is at the Mall was not as easy as it is not as easy as one would hope. I walked about for 10 - 15 minutes from where I parked to get to the doors after I dropped the family off. We were there early for the Tour, so the mall was still busy.… 

    Where can I find valid coupons?

    I do not know that answer.

    How far in advance do you need to buy tickets?

    Visiting Nashville for the week. Does anyone know if they offer daytime tours of the Grand Ole Opry House?…

    https://www.opry.com/backstagetours/daytime I googled that for you.

    Hoping to go to the opry for one of the 930pm shows, but with an early evening commitment, will be cutting it tight on arriving. I'm assuming the headliner is last? I'm wondering if it's similar format to other concerts.

    Usually the concerts are in 3 segments with many different musicians. Yes, in my 2 experiences the headliner has preferment last. A great experience, oy to be missed.

If you've been to Nashville, you've undoubtedly encountered a rancorous bridal party screaming from the streets of a barcycle. Well Big Green Tractor Tours takes the allure of one of these street mounted bars and takes the leg work out of it. You get to sit in a covered trailer while being pulled along the historic rows of Nashville debauchery. For us, the biggest bonus was the fact that Big Green Tractor Tours limits the amount of people on each ride. The open hair cover felt us feeling safer than being packed in one of the major tourist bars where you don't know who has what virus swimming around in their system. Plus, you avoid draining your bank account because you are able to bring your own beer and liquor on your Big Green Tractor Tour. I loved being able to stop by Frugal McDougal to pick out what drinks I wanted instead of showing up at a bar and selecting from whatever they offer (HELLLOOO you gorgeous double IPA's and other hefty craft beers not served at tourist bars!) The process was pretty simple. You booked your tour through their stunningly simple online system. Show up at the meeting point (PRO TIP: If you don't have a car while you're in Nashville to get to a bigger booze vendor, Big Green Tractor Tours meets in the parking lot of a liquor store.) It's impossible to miss the massive tractors and trailers with the festive multicolored dancing lights. I love to wave at people. It is a favorite activity of mine (I know it's weird.) While on the tour you get to see so many different people, the fee to get on the Big Green Tractor Tours is totally worth the people watching! And your personal bartender on the Big Green Tractor Tour will keep you well lubricated to keep those wrists a-waving at all the onlookers. Both the driver and bartender on our Big Green Tractor Tour were SO hospitable and kind. They cracked jokes and made us feel welcome while we were in Nashville. Without a doubt I would book another Big Green Tractor Tour the next time I visit. It's the perfect COVID-era night out.
