What People Are Saying About Ryman Auditorium
Featured Review

In Short – Built in 1892, Ryman Auditorium has hosted countless visionaries, including Enrico Caruso, John Philip Sousa, Sarah Bernhardt and Charlie Chaplin. But the Ryman will forever be known as the mother church of country music. When the Grand Ole Opry settled into this brick tabernacle in the heart of downtown in 1943, the Ryman instantly became the stage where every country star wanted to perform. In the summer, don't miss the amazing bluegrass shows.
Editor's Tips
- Parking:
- The Ryman lot gets crowded, so scout out parking on your way in. Try the Church Street parking garage less than two blocks away.

RymanReview
by barbelkins at Citysearch
The Ryman Auditorium not is one of the most recognized historical buildings in Nashville, it was the first stadium seating that existed here. There is no bad seat in this "once a church" auditorium.
- Pros: ambiance, history, acoustics
- Cons: church pew seats, some limited viewing, downtown

Tour not worth the money
by oldgram1 at Citysearch
The admission was pretty steep. We would have been better off going when there was an event there and looking around as it wasn't that great of a tour.
- Pros: Nice people working, Friendly atmosphere
- Cons: Not much to see, No music to listen to

The Ryman has stood the test of time, thank God.
Nashville Keeps loosing all of its best venues, but thanks to smart people, and great acoustics, The Ryman still stands.
