Home to the Grand Ole Opry, Gaylord Opryland Resort, and Music Valley entertainment district.

About Opryland / Music Valley

The Opryland/Music Valley area is Nashville\'s second major entertainment district, anchored by the Grand Ole Opry House — the current home of the world\'s longest-running radio show, which has broadcast live country music performances every week since 1925. Attending a Grand Ole Opry show is a Nashville pilgrimage, with surprise guest appearances and the thrill of the historic stage circle.

The Gaylord Opryland Resort is a destination in itself — a 2,888-room mega-resort featuring 9 acres of indoor gardens under glass atriums, complete with indoor rivers, waterfalls, a boat ride, and extensive dining and shopping. During the holidays, the resort\'s ICE! exhibition and millions of lights make it the Southeast\'s premier holiday attraction.

Music Valley Drive connects the resort to a cluster of country music attractions including the General Jackson Showboat (dinner cruises on the Cumberland River), Cooter\'s Place (Dukes of Hazzard museum), and various souvenir shops and restaurants. The area attracts a family-friendly crowd and Opry fans, offering a different Nashville experience from the raucous energy of downtown Broadway.
