Expect the most visitors on weekends. If you can, visit on a weekday, early in the morning or a few hours before the museum closes, to avoid crowds. Keep in mind, the museum may have reduced hours or be closed for special events, so check the website before you go.

No. But Johnny Cash's Bar & BBQ, located next to the museum on Third Avenue, offers authentic barbecue and Southern food. Across the street, FGL House serves Southern-style pub fare and cocktails. Stop by Goo Goo Cluster for sweet mounds made with caramel, marshmallow nougat, roasted peanuts, and milk chocolate.

Q: Is the Johnny Cash Museum worth it?

Yes. Music fans are drawn to this comprehensive collection of Johnny Cash artifacts and memorabilia. It’s considered one of Nashville’s must-see attractions and is authorized by the Cash estate. Many of the museum's items were donated by a friend of Cash, giving visitors a faithful depiction of the legend.

Amazing tour of Nashville

Rick was great. He was super knowledgeable and fun to tour with. He was funny and knew how to give a great tour. We stopped to try hot chicken on the tour which was a great recommendation on his part. He also had great recommendations for food and activities outside of the tour. He was able to give a great history of both the state and the city of Nashville along with fun anecdotes. Highly recommend this tour to learn about the city and see some fun things along the way.

Felt this pass was good...

Felt this pass was good value for money and ideal to cover a number of sites on a short trip. Really enjoyed the Country Music Hall of Fame and RCA Studio B and also the Johnny Cash Museum. Didn't really think the Moonshine Distillery was worth a visit and the pass only provided a discount on tasting. The Hop on Hop Off bus was good, but the route did not go anywhere near Madame Tussauds and so we missed out on this.

The conservatory.

Everything was great. The only experience that was away from the rest was the wax museum. However, that experience put us close to the Grand ol' Opery, and the Opery Convention Center. The Convention center itself was an awesome sight to see because of the indoor conservatory. Nine acres of absolute beautiful scenery to see.
