Wonderful and Interesting! - We enjoyed a great tour with Margaret. She was well informed and shared a great deal of history with us about Hatch Show Print. We enjoyed seeing the print shop in action, looking at all the old machinery and processes, the show prints on the walls and making a sample print as well. We highly recommend this fun and unique tour!

Interesting, Immersive, Fun! - This was my favorite tour in Nashville. Our tour guide had a wonderful personality, was interesting, and made the experience a lot of fun. The history tie in along with the art was so interesting. Getting to make our own print was the icing on the cake.

Great day out. - Such an amazing day out, give yourself plenty of time to enjoy all that is here to see. If i was to make any suggestions, it would be for somewhere to sit,for us of a few more years,that find it hard to walk so far,they would also give more time to enjoy all the displays.

Time we'll spent, even for non-fans - We just did the museum itself. Which was plenty. I don't consider myself knowledgeable about country music, but it was still fun to see all of the outfits, instruments, and notebooks with song lyrics. The museum is beautifully designed, so it flows well yet still lets you linger if you want. Chris Stapleton had a gigantic collection of memorabilia, and Martina McBride had a room full of dresses. A section at the end devoted to Taylor Swift. All of the performers had tiny clothing! 2 cars owned by Elvis. Video clips and interactive kiosks presented a nice variety. I never got bored. We spent around 2.5 hrs. The place was hard to find for us. So we were exhausted before we got there. Worth the money. We didn't buy the audio tour but we were still happy.

Great set of tours - Great set of tours. Hatch show print was really fascinating and tells you about a very interesting part of Music City history. Getting to make your own print was such a cool experience and a great souvenir. CMHOF was great! Very interesting experience to go through the history and roots of country music. As someone who is familiar with country music but not a die hard fan, I really enjoyed the entire exhibit. Great way to spend an afternoon.

Interesting with great tour guides - The tour guides were wonderful. They were knowledgeable and also made the experience fun at the same time. Being in a business with so much history and hearing how it has adapted over time to stay relevant was inspiring. It was fun to be able to ink a poster to take home as a souvenir!

So much history - Booked the combo ticket. The hall of fame was fun if you’re into the history of country music. The 3rd floor is the older generation while the 2nd floor is the more modern day music. The Hatch print tour was lots of fun. Great info on the history of the posters and you even get to finish a small poster/print to take home.

Very crowded - I am not a country music fan but my group of 10 were. Had some great things to look at and videos. Why it received a 4 star is the amount of people in front of each exhibit and on the concourse were crazy. Hard to see many of exhibits because of the number of people but once you got to them was nice. Maybe should raise the exhibit of floor and put the readables higher than knee level so us in the back couldread them. Reasonably priced.

Don’t come here. - They included everyone in a weather emergency test and herded everyone in a stairwell. So dumb to include the public in your staff’s training. Don’t waste peoples time and money on your staff’s inadequacy. Won’t ever be returning and would tell others to visit the other sites in Nashville over this one.
