Spring Staycations are in Bloom at Gaylord Opryland Resort

Gaylord Opryland Resort is the ultimate staycation spot for Middle Tennessee residents. This spring, the resort is full of family-friendly attractions such as their year-round activities like Soundwaves waterpark, dining options, and lush garden atriums, to name a few. Families can enjoy a vacation without leaving Nashville! 

Throughout April and into May, the resort will be continuing their Once Upon A Spring event with colorful flowers, spring-themed boat rides, an Easter Bunny meet and greet, and the Sunshine and Sprinkles cookie decorating corner. Guests can find activities such as a fairytale painting extravaganza and storytelling adventure, a spring-a-long scavenger hunt, a family fun zone, dance party, spring selfie stations, bedtime bunny tales, and many other kid-approved activities. The Delta Boat will be egg-stra fun while cruising along the scenic river in the resort’s Delta atrium with larger-than-life Easter eggs along the route. 

If parents want to plan for a relaxing getaway, Relâche Spa will be offering spring spa treatments. Get pampered in the resort’s 20,000 square-foot spa featuring twelve treatment rooms, a sauna, steam room, and a relaxation lounge. 
Don’t miss out on Gaylord Opryland’s water resort, Soundwaves. The Water Attraction is four acres of indoor and outdoor water fun! The indoor area includes an adults-only infinity pool, lazy river, fast river, multiple water slides, and an activity pool with lily pads and basketball hoops! You can race your way down the Rock ‘N Racer outside or go for the even more exhilarating slides! If you’re a thrill-seeker, the Drop Zone is for you! For those looking to relax, the wave pool will feel like you’re sitting beachside. Soundwaves is a package for overnight guests.

If you’re not staying at the resort, you can make a day or evening enjoying the activities and restaurant options. The fountain shows are a fan favorite. Grab a slice of pizza at Paisanos or a scoop of ice cream before grabbing a seat at the free fountain show in the Delta Atrium. Make sure not to sit directly near the fountains if you don’t want to get wet! 

Nashville is fortunate to have Gaylord Opryland in town! You can feel like you’re a million miles away on vacation while just right down the road! From the restaurants, experiences, water resort, seasonal activities, you can’t beat time spent at Opryland. So many memories to make!
