    Sound Wave

    This was just right! We go to Great Wolf at least twice a quarter with our family of 5. This waterpark checked all of the boxes! The slides for littlest adventurer, two separate lazy river with different speeds which our teen absolutely loved, wave pool for our little fish! The outdoor wave pool was just one of my absolute FAVORITE! The water was a perfect temperature it was beautiful to look at, there's a screen and music playing, I cannot forget the lounge chairs & umbrellas surrounding it! There's also an adult floor with a bar, infinity pool, oversized pool chairs and lounge chairs. I didn't get to hangout there as much as it was a family trip but I would be remiss if I didn't include it. If you're ever in Nashville make it a priority it check out SoundWaves!

    Stunning! Excited for our little birthday get-a-way!

    Core memories made! Booked a little 72 hour stay at the Opry hotel based on a video I found on Instagram because of the Soundwaves waterpark. And 10 for 10 recommend and would do it again! We surprised our twin six-year-olds, who were turning seven with a little destination birthday trip. Had our cousins meet us there for a double surprise. And this might have been our best birthday/family Vacay ever! I mean, Opry the hotel is immaculate and you don't really have to ever leave once you're there. And the soundwaves waterpark is like double icing on top of the most perfect cake. Even when it rains, you can still enjoy the inside waterpark, and because it is private to only hotel guests, it never felt crowded. We never really had to wait in line for a waterslide, the two lazy rivers were never over congested, and the individual surf lessons on the surf machine might've been a family favorite. We just kept trying over and over and over again until we could do the tricks they were teaching us. Bonus: amazing instructors! Already thinking I should book for next year and do the same thing over again, it was that magical!

    Our stay-cation at GOH was nice. Bonvoy has a great check-in experience for Elite Marriott members. We booked the Soundwaves package. Positives are the adults-only areas, nice staff, and several pools and activities to choose from. Negatives - $42 for 2 small alcoholic beverages plus tip? Crazy. Those resort fees are real. The water and indoor section was very warm. I was looking for a cool off with 90 degrees outside but the indoor section was over 90 degrees inside! Some areas need to be updated, and some slides were not working so unsure if this is worth the price.

    SoundWaves is phenomenal!!! With both indoor and outdoor spaces, the wave pool (definitely the star attraction), and a peaceful adult infinity pool for relaxing and reading made for a really fun and balanced day. We enjoyed frozen cocktails from the outdoor Rhythm bar and food from deciBels inside the park and loved having a space that felt both playful and slightly upscale. I love how comfy all the chairs are, the tables and umbrellas make for ease, front chairs in the wave pool are basically like being in the water, which is so relaxing, the live music videos are so fun, and plenty of free beach towels throughout as needed. One large air body dryer which is helpful if leaving before dry. The one major letdown was the change in the lazy river setup as they've removed the traditional inner tubes and replaced them with awkward foam floats. They're hard to relax in, and you end up spending the whole time trying not to bump your head or crash into someone. The old setup felt much more carefree and gentle. For one-night stays, it would make a big difference to offer full-day SoundWaves access (10am-8pm) on both check-in and check-out days. As it stands, the noon-to-noon window feels pretty limited once you factor in check-in time, meals, and needing to check out and leave your room (especially with no access to showers afterward).

    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!

    My wife and I have been coming here for 20 years, bringing our children here through out the years…read more I'm not gonna be petty or try not to about all the little things to complain about, but for the love of god can you please correct the bathrooms by the wave pool! The smell is horrendous, at first I just thought ok they need to repair something.. but it's been like this for the past several years now!! Each year it's the same thing! On a windy day, trying to lay out or eat by the wave pool is a consistent smell of sh-t! Another thing is you want to charge the high prices for food, I get it.. but please have some type of management looking after the concessions, more so the people working them! Waiting in line as long as you do is ridiculous! There seems to be extra people working behind the counter but you might only have 1,2 out of 7 actually working, and then the sense of urgency is definitely not there! They need management to manage the employees

    This was the perfect day to spend with the kids. They enjoyed everything this place has to offer…read more We spent most time at the wave pool and lazy river but we were at the park over 8 hours. The food was decent park food with your normal tenders, pizza, options. Parking was easy and getting thru check in didn't take too long either. I caught tickets during a holiday sell but it's a great place for the family and friends.

    When most people think of amusement parks and coasters in the Kentucky area, they either think of…read moreKentucky Kingdom or the out of state parks Holiday World, Kings Island, or Dollywood. But while Beech Bend isn't as nearly as well known or have as high profile coasters as those parks, it shouldn't be ignored. This is because Beech Bend has an excellent thrilling coaster in Kentucky Rumbler, which is a relatively smooth wooden coaster that is filled with a mix of forces and airtime that will make you want to go on it again and again. Additionally, Beech Bend has some very interesting flat rides you generally only see at fairs, but here you ride them over and over again instead of having to pay per ride. Plus, admission is quite affordable, especially if you buy it in advance, and parking is free, so Beech Bend will not set you back a lot. With that in mind, Beech Bend, while it lacks the high profile coasters of the parks that surround it, is a nice, charming, and affordable small park that should not be missed if you are in the area.

    When I see such mixed reviews on a place, I feel obligated to give a honest and detailed review…read more This was written in June 2023. Prices to get in the amusement/water park are $44.99 plus tax for anyone over 48" but there are a few offers that can get you in cheaper. I strongly suggest using a discount, as this park is not worth the full price. You are allowed to bring one water bottle per person and you should because there are limited areas of shade. The two star review is because of the following: First, like many of the prior reviews have stated, the rides are old, unkept, and rickety. A few are even dangerous. The Wild Mouse gave me a bruised leg and sore neck. The main attraction for thrill seekers is the Kentucky Rambler, which was closed when we were there. There were other rides closed too. Second, most of the snack huts were closed. The lines at the opened concessions were long and moved slow. Of course food is overpriced too. I would recommend bringing your lunch/snacks in a cooler and going outside the park for eating. They allow you to go and come with a stamp. There are shaded picnic tables outside the park if you bring your lunch. You can't bring coolers of food inside. Third, the park is overrun with tweens and teens. Ages 12 and up are allowed in without an adult. My 9 year old son rode the bumper cars and got bumped really hard by a unsupervised teenager. I was worried he may have gotten whiplash. Fourth, our experience with the staff was pleasant and the only reason we gave 2 stars instead of 1 star. The staff enforced the rules and took their jobs seriously. Many of them joked around with my son. In conclusion, if you are an area tween or teen with a season pass, this park may be worthwhile. If you have kiddos under 5 years old, there are a number of kiddie rides that are safe enough. The water park also has a nice little kids section. The free parking and free sunscreen is a plus. If you arrive when they open, lines for rides aren't long, especially on weekdays. Again, if you pay full price for your tickets and don't bring your own food, you will probably be disappointed. However, if you pack food and get a discount, you may be able to enjoy yourself if you fancy low budget fair rides. I recommend Holiday World, about an hour from Beech Bend, it's well worth the drive. Holiday World is clean and the rides are safe. If you go to Holiday World in May, your tickets would be cheaper than Beech Bend.
