Summer Tradition at Gaylord Opryland’s Summer of More

Start practicing your heartiest “Arrrr, matey!” and Princess curtsy as Gaylord Opryland has transformed into a treasure hunting, boat riding, art-making quest during the luxury resort’s Summer of More.

Through September 4th, your family will have a blast with pirate-themed activities and a plunge in the luxury waterpark; SoundWaves.

Our family will never forget that awe-struck feeling the first time we said yes to a family vacation at a luxury resort.  Typically we’d leave the kids at home for a fancier night out but the family-friendliness of Gaylord Opryland is unmatched. With over nine acres of gorgeous tropical indoor gardens, restaurants, arcades, shopping and SoundWaves water park, Opryland is THE place to bring your kids!

Summer of More encourages your family to fully immerse into adventurous fun with more than a dozen imaginative activities. Available as add-ons to your room package, families can join in on a hide and seek mission, create seasonably-inspired art, look for lost clues on the Flatboat Voyage, meet animals on the weekends, do yoga from your room with Sophie and more!

Enhance your trip to Gaylord Opryland with a SoundWaves package to the new upscale water park complete with indoor/outdoor toddler splash zones, lazy river, poolside climbing wall, wave pool featuring music videos, adult-only pools and our all time favorite, the rapid river. Like the lazy river but much quicker, kids love zooming around the rapid river’s speedy attraction. With four acres and three levels of water fun, the entire family will have a blast.

Take a break from the upscale water park fun for the Adventure Kids: Hidden Treasure Hide & Sea-k, join DJ Tyrus for music, games, and fun at the Cascades outdoor resort pool presented by LIFEWTR or take a ride on the General Jackson Flatboat. The lusciously tropical garden pathways and waterfalls instantly transport you from Nashville, Tennessee to the rainforest. Words truly cannot describe the calm, fresh, extraordinary sights and scents of Opryland’s indoor atriums.

Gaylord Opryland has amazing perks for adults, too! Relâche Spa soothes senses with body treatments, facials, manicures and massages at the European-inspired spa. Plushy robes, a steam room and complimentary snacks from Relâche can’t be beat. Before heading back to the family, grab a Starbucks latte from downstairs to soak up your final moments sans kids.

Opryland is home to several restaurants from grab-and-go sandwiches to a luxury steakhouse and everything in between. At Jack Daniel’s, the ribs and jalapeno cornbread give you a taste of the south while Ravello serves up authentic Italian dishes like classic Fettucine Alfredo. Grab a Paisano’s pizza for the family or stack up your burger at Stax grill before gelato, giant cookies or Cinnabon for dessert.

Whether you’re shopping for new toys in Kids Korral boutique with your little pirate or princess, collecting your loot from the Delta Riverboat Company, snacking on Auntie Anne’s and Cinnabon, racing down water slides or exploring the stunning gardens, Gaylord Opryland’s Summer of More may just become a summertime family tradition.
