I spent the day here while my husband worked at a conference. It was a really relaxing day! The adult only outside pool was situated in a great spot to still be able to enjoy the music and videos being shown on the big screen at the wave pool! I took my kindle and spent the day reading and relaxing! The food at the restaurant was good for lunch…a bit pricey but expected so not a big deal. The frozen drinks were really good and the bartender was very friendly and personable! Every staff I encountered was very friendly. I cannot speak to the water slides because I am old so did not venture to them at all but by the sound of the happy kids around I would say they were fun! I spent 6 hours there so the price of the ticket was well worth it to me!

We brought our grandchildren, ages 10 & 8 for a two night stay. I used my Marriott points for the room at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel. The waterpark was the reason we came. Perfect winter getaway for kids of that age.

Your kids will love it. The pros: attentive lifeguards throughout, towels provided, a variety of areas to explore, temperature controlled. The cons: incredibly crowded, overpriced, and there are limited food options at Decibels (and all the items we ordered were terrible). My children loved the water slides the most; there were lines for the slides but the body slides and single inner tube slides go much more quickly than the line for the double inner tube slide. If you want to do the Flowrider (indoor surfing), be prepared to wait a very long time. My son waited in line for an hour and 45 minutes for his two minute turn, and others the day before told us they waited over two hours. Lockers are available (starting at $12/day). Chairs fill up quickly. Private cabanas are available…. for an extra $300+. Again, my kids loved it. But I’m in no rush to return - I felt that overall it was overpriced for what it is, and certainly not a “resort” experience.
