The space was neat and clean and actually smelled fresh and clean like we were outdoors, unlike some other indoor water parks that I have been to.Īs soon as we checked in and took in our beautiful view, the girls raced to get their swimsuits on and down to the waterpark. They do limit the number of guests that can be in the waterpark at one time and I spoke with someone who works there and they said that the space is so big that it never feels too crowded. We stayed on a Tuesday night into a Wednesday and had no lines. We enjoyed a hotel room with a balcony that overlooked the garden. There is an outdoor part to the waterpark too but we did not experience it on this trip as it is open from May 22-August 16. This ensures that only the hotel guests who have paid for this option, are the ones entering and using the waterpark. We were given special bands to use to enter and exit the facility. You do need a swimsuit coverup to wear between the room and the waterpark. While there are changing rooms within SoundWaves, our hotel room was very close. The hotel is very large but we were given a map that was easy to follow and there were signs that helped too. The staff was welcoming and efficient as we checked in. My daughter and her friend climbed this beautiful staircase that greeted us in the entrance to capture this fun photo. Hooray for Vitamin D in the middle of the winter! At one moment I realized that I might even pack my sunglasses the next time we visit.įrom the moment we entered the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center, we were impressed and felt like we were on vacation. The sun shines bright through the unique roof so you can actually sunbathe indoors. It is indoors yet filled with beautiful live plants and kept at 84 degrees year-round. This upscale indoor/outdoor water park was the best waterpark I had ever visted. With less than a three hour drive we were transported to an amazing indoor oasis of fun.

SoundWaves at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center was the perfect answer. We were looking for something fun that we could do with just one night overnight. Recently, one of my children was off school while the other two still had school.

Getting away from home, no matter the distance, always provides us with wonderful family time and great memories.
