The Gaylord Opryland Resort is known around the nation for its stunning design and thoughtfully considered structure, but it’s almost shocking to find out just how many folks don’t know about the river that winds through the resort’s atrium. Delta Riverboats offers daily rides on a seasonal basis, and the experience is one that’s popular with visitors no matter their age. Learn more about it below and plan to ogle at the stunning interior from the water.
The Gaylord Opryland Resort is known as one of the most expansive and incredible luxury hotels in Tennessee. Located right outside of Nashville's main downtown, the location boasts 9 acres of indoor gardens, almost 3,000 guest rooms, and even indoor AND outdoor water attractions.
The resort is also home to a large selection of restaurants and bars that have scored a number of awards over the last few years. You can work out in an incredible fitness center, and the Relache Spa is known for its high-class offerings. The location is also popular for its meeting space opportunities and spectacular suites.
The airy atrium may be the first thing to catch your eye, but you don't want to miss a ride on that indoor river! Delta Riverboats takes guests through the 4.5-acre Delta Atrium for just $14 a person in the summer and $15 in the fall.
Once you climb on board you'll have the chance to marvel at the beauty of the resort, and your guide will tell you all about the plants and fish that have been thoughtfully included in the resort's design. Children 3 and under ride for free with a ticketed adult.
Delta Riverboats operates from May to early September from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. during the summer, and fall hours run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. through October.
There's no better way to see the expansive interior of the resort than aboard a Delta Riverboat, and we have a feeling you'll be making a memory that you'll never forget. It's incredibly popular with the kids, and adds a flair of fun to your vacation.
If you haven't been to the resort and ridden a Delta riverboat, we have news for you: it's a must. The next time you're in Nashville, spare a few hours to wander the Gaylord Opryland Resort and enjoy a waterway tour of the incredible atrium.
