    came in to explore the area and wow is it beautiful! lots of plant life and restaurants. unfortunately, the day we came in (dec 30) almost all the restaurants were closed except for a few. overall, great place to visit and tour. the place is huge to be prepared for a full day there!

    We spent a day at this waterpark while staying at the Opreyland Hotel, over Thanksgiving. The water was nice and warm and felt good. Our 2.5yr old daughter loved floating down the lazy river with us and I think we looped it more than 30 times. There was a great kid's area with splash pads and shallow waters. Lifejackets for all sizes and ages are provided, as are towels. Our daughter had such. Great time that we will make this a Thanksgiving tradition. It's a bit expensive, but you really get a full day in the park. Hours are 10-10, even on holidays.

    This water park is located at the Gaylord Opryland Resort. For a resort connected water park, I was expecting just a little more than a few pools. I was wrong! This place has an awesome outside setup with slides, kid areas, and a wave pool with an awesome screen that had old music videos playing. I had an evening pass, and after about an hour, we got rained out and moved to the inside. Well the inside is just as great as outside. 2 lazy rivers and several great slides. A rock climbing wall in a pool too! I was sad to see the huge multi person tube slide wasn't operational, but I went by myself, so I was fine to do the single slides. The bars and restaurants within were great too. I was drooling over someone else's nachos, and I got a frozen cocktail that was delicious even though it was $20. I'd definitely go again if I'm ever back at that resort!

    Took my 2 year old here for her friend's birthday party and she had a blast! Since I was keeping up with my little and I'm pregnant, I skipped most areas of the park and stuck to the kids' area and lazy river. We went early evening on a Friday and it wasn't crowded at all. Especially in the toddler pool, we had the space to ourselves most of the time. The place was very clean with lots of lifeguards around, plus free life vests available to borrow in sizes from small child to adult. Once inside the park, there are restrooms with changing stalls and a couple of showers. There's also a fold down diaper changing station. Just outside the restrooms are lockers that cost an extra fee. Most of the lockers are small, so I recommend packing as lightly as possible. If you don't want the extra security of a locker and can keep up with your belongings more or less, there are lots of chairs around and you can leave your things on a chair. I stashed our bag in a locker, but left our towels and flip flops on a chair by the toddler pool. There isn't really a secure place to leave a stroller; I folded ours and left it on top of the lockers without a problem. The only cons from this trip were regarding the lazy river. First, there are a few spots with fairly strong jets to keep people moving, but I felt they were a bit too strong and also caused my float to spin a lot. Secondly, it's a little tough to get out depending on how you're on the float! There's one drop off, so if you miss it, you're stuck for another round. To be fair, I'm very petite and had my kiddo on the float with me so it made it more difficult to maneuver. Probably a taller person or solo rider would have been fine.

    This water park is attach to the Opryland hotel. You can't go in it if you are not staying at the hotel. There are inside and outside sections. Man is this place CLEAN. There are a few slides.., a tandem, a single, a body surf, and one that 5 people go in one tube like deal... they are all fast! There is a lazy river, a rapids river, a wave pool, areas for just playing in the water, etc. The whole place is extremely CLEAN! What a great time... even though you stay at the hotel and have access you still have to pay to go to the water park. However it is a fantastic option and you don't have to leave at all. They even have a restaurant in here with food and drink options. And did I mention that this place is CLEAN! We enjoyed it all! Great fun!! A really nice addition to the stay.

    Indoor large pool with basketball and climbing wall.

    My family and I LOVE this place! They have a slow and a fast "lazy" River! They also have a Flo master which not all water parks have! It's very bright and clean! They also have an area for adults only with a pool at the top level which overlooks the rest of the water park! The outdoor area has a drop out slide... one time on that was enough for me! That being said it was popular! They also have a wave pool and several other slides!

    My family had an amazing experience at Soundwaves inside Gaylord Opry Resort! I highly recommend the Soundwaves package to ensure entry since walk-in passes are limited. Davidson County residents get 40% off rooms that include wristbands for admission of the water park. All other TN residents get a 25% discount. The water was clean, and I loved how there were pools indoor and outdoor! There are also towels available which is nice. Highly recommend!!!

    Labor Day was a blast! As a Tennesee Resident, I have been wondering what this looked like and I finally had the chance. The first trick is finding SoundWaves in the huge Gaylord hotel, then you are able to grab a chair inside or outside of the building. There is one wave pool located outside, two kid play areas inside and one outside, a lazy river inside and a more rapid river without floats also inside. There is also an activity pool that has basketball and wall walking. There are two huge slides both inside and outside. ^ tons of options to choose from. Along with those options, you can lounge both inside or outside where you are able to access both food and drinks! As a whole this place is great especially for out-of-towners it's right next to the hotel, for locals its right by Opry Mills. There are tons of towels so don't worry about bringing your own, but do bring sunscreen! The bathrooms have showers and all the necessities. Such a fun place! Will be returning!

    Top notch water park and long overdue for Nashville. I know a lot of people won't like that you have to be a guest in the hotel to use the park, but I like it,because it helps keep the crowds down. Food for sale both indoors and outside, life jackets are available, and plenty of life guards everywhere. Towels are provided and they have tape pieces you can add to your chair to alert others that your chair is in use even though no one is currently there. Some very cool slides, two lazy rivers (one moves very quickly and has no tubes). Water basketball, rock climbing wall, lily pad jumping, surfing, water buckets that dump out when too full, and a wave pool that shows music videos (everything from Bee Gees, Queen, Garth Brooks in concert, to Dan & Shay, and Kelsea Ballerini. Two separate pool areas for younger children and an adult only area on a 3rd level. This is an add-on package for your stay at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel and Resort. Cost is an additional $48-54 depending on weekday or weekend. We checked in on Saturday and were able to use the water park from 10:00 am Sunday to noon Monday. The park closes at 8:00 pm. They have cabanas for rent at a daily rate of $200 indoors, and $300 outdoors. Human dyers are free to use and helped us not be soaking wet as we walked through the hotel to our room. The hotel also has two other pool areas, one indoor and one outside with a DJ playing music.
