We had a self guided tour however James was so epic and told us so many incredible facts, filled with knowledge and very friendly! We then walked around the mansion and explored/ read a lot about the home and its occupants. It took us about 2 hours.

Thank you to the staff who were all friendly (:

Get validated and discounted parking from the museum front desk/concierge so the fee is only $15 to park in the parking structure across from the museum. I would also like to mention that staff member MICHELLE V. was very helpful on my visit, as she went out of her way to get me a personal item that I needed, so thumbs up to her. Thanks Michelle! The museum itself took a good 1-1.5 hours to explore. We started at the top floor to see Dolly's exhibit and Taylor Swift's center...then slowly progressed downstairs. It was cool to see the memorabilia of various famous country artists as we looked around. Now we know why Nashville is the country music capital of the world!

It was hard for the youngest kiddo to remain behind the line while inside the house, but we managed to get through it without causing too much trouble! :) The older lady guide downstairs was very strict, and the young one upstairs was so chill.

The video introduction at the museum when you first enter was very interesting, and good preview of his life and legacy. Stopped by the gift shop to get some souvenirs and toys for the kids. Everyone walked away happy!

You can view it from window pew in the motorcycle section or outside behind museum.

From the beginning, the experience was wonderful. After leaving our car and scanning our tickets, there were multiple employees to direct us and answer any questions. We began by exploring the gardens. My personal favorite was the sculpture walk, with several different sculptures hidden around every corner. We then took a self-guided tour of the historic mansion. The mansion is decorated with items from the Cheek family collection, as well as donated items and rotating art exhibits. I particularly loved the wood paneled library and the small morning/dining room. Definitely the place to come if you want some design inspo! Be prepared to walk when you visit. We arrived around 10:30 on a weekend, and were directed to park in the overflow parking. The overflow lot requires a walk on gravel/rock with a slight incline. Although the site is huge, there are plenty of benches and three different restrooms. There are limited food options, but we were able to bring sandwiches and enjoy lunch in the water garden. When visiting, don't miss the iconic Wisteria Arbor or the stables!

I only attended the garden due to time since I had to be back on the road for home. I was able to walk 3/4 of the garden within 2 hours so I say there is much to see and admire. I was able to take photos with ease and I enjoyed that I wasn't the only one carrying a camera. 1 thing I didn't like is that the paid parking is on a steep hill and basically dirt. It was only $7 ($5 + $2 fee) but i would've hoped for something a bit better. So carry your good shoes in your hand.

The exhibits are fun, and we'll cultivated. The VR app experience can not be missed- we downloaded it at the end of the tour and had to run back through the museum and see everything again. The grand finale is also really cool. The gift shop is also perfectly curated to engage the customer as well. The only drawback was the signage. The walls are filled with every Scholastic school fair science poster you could think of, and it's information overload, and quite messy and unprofessional looking. Also, the actual artifacts are notated with basic paper instead of card stock, and is curling up from wear and tear. I'd imagine they are working on a shoestring budget and priorities are elsewhere, but really that's the only thing that knocks off a star.
