Had a fabulous time. The whole experience was amazing and the opry staff could not have been more friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended.

    So worth it

    Debbie_V, Nov 2025
    We had such a great time! Even getting there at 6, the lines we SO long. We showed our pass and jumped the line to the Circle Lounge. The lounge had an open bar and fun appetizers we could enjoy through the end of intermission. The meet and greet was not awkward, he addressed the group, told us his story and took questions. The Lounge staff were super helpful and friendly, we felt warmly welcomed. Somehow we missed the pictures, but the photographer took a couple of nice photos with my phone. Good to know: you will need to stop at the Box Office to get hard tickets for the show and lounge before heading over. You will have to pay about $25 for parking.

    This is the only way to experience the Grand Ole opry. It was well worth the extra money. We loved it

    Sadly, the VIP experience is not worth the money.

    Victor_C, Sep 2025
    I would not do the VIP experience again, not worth $512. The show was absolutely amazing. All the other VIP things, not so much.

    First time going to Nashville

    Dawna_N, Aug 2025
    Had a fantastic time saw Vince Gill and he did put on an awesome show. I will definitely go back again, next time would I meet Bince Gill in person I had the VIP tickets. I've seen him in concert 6 times over the years.

    A Nashville Must

    Teresa_G, Jul 2025
    If you’re visiting Nashville, the Grand Ole Opry is a must even if you don’t like Country music. It’s just a great experience and such a cool venue.

    It was ok

    Caitlin_Y, Apr 2025
    That it’s not what it say it is .. should get more for what you paid . The people doing the experience were nice and an open bar was nice but thought it was going to be more than what it was . Didn’t get to sit on stage like advertised at the opry vip experience . Also sections you pick to sit in misleading section 6 way up high .

    Great experience and an amazing evening. Friendly staff and five star service. Staff went above expectations and the entertainment was top notch!

    Great venue with great music.

    Frank_z, Sep 2024
    Was a wonderful and memorable experience. Admittedly I didn’t know much about Country music. Artists were incredibly talented and seeing them in such an historic venue was truly amazing.

    Disappointed

    Karen_T, Sep 2024
    Viator was misleading on their VIP status. Their VIP experience is not the same as the Grande Ol Opry VIP Experience. It was a disappointment we did not get the tour.

    Skip the Circle Club and enjoy the show!

    Jill_w, Aug 2024
    The concert and food were fantastic. The food in the circle was not - the VIP package wasn’t really worth it. But would definately go back - the show and atmosphere were awesome.

    Save yourself some money unless you just want to stay away from the crowds

    Bob_W, Aug 2024
    Just not worth the money for the Color Room. Food and drink were good, as well as the staff and we enjoyed the free picture of us, but for a several hundred less we could have just enjoyed the show and eaten elsewhere before it. The guest to the room was OK but as they advertise ... no promises on who you'll meet.

    Go VIP with circle lounge access

    Stephen_S, Aug 2024
    Absolutely worth the upgrade for the circle lounge. Highly recommend if you like to have a drink or two. Skip the lines, have premium drinks during the whole show.

    A VIP one-stop country experience

    Kristin_H, Aug 2024
    Great value and organisation from start to finish! It was an open bar which was a nice surprise over the advertised two free drinks, food was hot and fresh, seats were decent for what I paid, the artist guests were friendly and it was overall a fantastic evening.

    Great family vacation

    LisaSmith, Jul 2024
    The whole experience with my family was awesome. I would come back again to see a show. The hospitality was wonderful and people had a great time.

    Outstanding!!!

    John_B, Jul 2024
    The instrument expertise was out of this world! I would like to see a little more Patriotic slant. Maybe recognize all Veterans, more Patriot songs, and possibly a serious lesson for all on American exceptionalism!

    Circle Room for the win!!

    Zach_S, Jun 2024
    What an amazing experience. This was my first trip to the Opry but the VIP experience with CircleRoom access is the only way to go!!

    Grand Ole time at the Grand Ole Opry

    LarryBeierle, May 2024
    Atmosphere, open bar, meet and greet, ease to seats and seat locations awesome. All a 10. Food was so so but the casserole was a good choice as an after thought to absorb the bountiful cocktails if you so indulged.

    Great show bad seats

    Kenneth_C, May 2024
    The show and the circle room was awesome. The seating was very bad . We where in the back row in section 3. We where under the impression that we would be seated closer. We could sew better from the TV monitors....

    Great night with friends and family

    Olivia_C, May 2024
    The circle room was worth the extra money. It was a nice spot to return to during intermission. The Opry itself is a must see. It is humbling to see so much talent on one stage in a single night.

    Joyful evening at the opry

    Holly_Y, Apr 2024
    People are friendly and gracious. We enjoyed the circle lounge, drinks and food were delicious. Musicians were great. Theater was lovely.

    Amazing lineup and music

    judith_k, Mar 2024
    Wonderful evening. The VIP room was very convenient. Going the night before Easter was like going to church so many great musicians, and no fear of sharing. Any faith or thoughts on God. Loved every moment.

    One of my best experiences

    Richard_B, Mar 2024
    One of the best country shows I have ever seen a truly wonderful inspirational venue awesome singers.

    AMAZING

    Royce_W, Mar 2024
    The Circle was a wonderful experience. We really enjoyed seeing Ryders in the Sky. The iconic live Opry Radio show was every bit what I expected. We highly recommend experiencing this show.

    Great experience, could have gotten better seats with package

    Ted_M, Mar 2024
    It was nice, our seats were almost at the back. I guess we expected better seats for the money. The bar was very nice as was the staff. The visit from an artist was good, Jeanie was very funny and personable.

    Awesome

    Rebecca_M, Feb 2024
    I loved my experience and plan on doing it again and again. I had only two problems… The first one was when I called in to purchase my tickets, I requested the BEST seats/tickets possible and got second best. Second: couldn’t get help on Saturday because you were closed. The people were great when we got there. Very knowledgeable and kind’ Thank you!

    Disappointing for the price

    Rebecah_C, Jan 2024
    It was very confusing of what line yo be in for the early entrance .. we asked several workers and no one really knew and we waited in line then found out we didn’t need to.. the food was disappointing.. vegetable soup ..fruit and a taco bake with cookies .. the meet and greet was just a 5min speech from the performer .. once inside the circle room the staff was very accommodating and friendly .. open bar with top shelve liquors

    Opry is awesome but the circle room just ain't worth the extra$$$

    Lori_B, Oct 2023
    Not worth the money. Better off just buying a ticket to the opry. The show is always great and u can buy your snacks and drinks.
