POW! BAM! WOW! DC Super Heroes Take Over Gaylord Opryland This Summer
Grab your capes and pack your power rings—this summer, an epic adventure awaits at Nashville’s Gaylord Opryland Resort! On weekends, from May 23 through September 1, 2025, families are invited to dive into a larger-than-life experience as the DC Super Heroes take center stage in a brand-new event: DC Summer.
Whether you’re a lifelong fan of Batman or your kids are just discovering Wonder Woman for the first time, this event is a one-of-a-kind chance to play, explore, and save the day—together. With exciting live shows, themed dining, heroic challenges, and more, this is the summer staycation your whole family will talk about for years to come.
A Super Start to Your Stay
Your heroic journey begins the moment you check in. Guests will receive a DC Super Hero’s Mission Checklist complete with a super hero badge and a checklist of challenges to complete across the resort. Throughout your stay, you’ll help stop a villainous plot as The Riddler has hidden clues around the resort! Families can team up to solve puzzles in the Revenge of The Riddler Scavenger Hunt, earning rewards and bragging rights along the way.
Young heroes can also get creative in the DC Super Hero Craft Zone, where kids can design their own hero-inspired memorabilia.
Meet the Legends
One of the most unforgettable parts of the experience is the Hall of Justice Character Dining. Enjoy a delicious meal while Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman stop by to greet fans, pose for photos, and share words of encouragement with their newest recruits.
And the fun doesn’t stop at mealtime. Keep your eyes peeled—your favorite heroes might pop up throughout the resort when you least expect it!
Splash Into SuperHero Fun
When it's time to cool off, head to the DC Super Hero Splash Party at the resort's beautiful Cascades outdoor pool. Expect games, trivia contests, music, and high-energy fun hosted by the Justice League’s biggest fans. It's the perfect way to beat the heat and burn off some heroic energy.
After dark, settle in for a magical DC Movie Night at SoundWaves, where families can watch Super Hero favorites on a giant screen under the stars. Grab a snack, find your spot, and enjoy movie night like never before.
Lights, Action, Adventure!
Each evening, the entire resort lights up for the Battle for Justice Light Show—a thrilling visual event where lights and music bring epic DC battles to life right before your eyes. It’s a must-see moment for guests of all ages.
