Ryman Auditorium

The seats had limited views of the stage when standing and the concert had video that we were not able to see

Love the Ryman, the Casting Crowns were great.

Outstanding show (Black Pumas) and venue. It can get a bit warm in there, so wear layers. Long wait between acts (50 min) but I'm guessing that was not due to the Ryman.

Casting Crowns concert

Well organized facility. Friendly and informative staff. We did the self guided tour. You could scan for a map and exhibit info, which I did, but it wasn’t needed. You start the tour in a waiting area with a timeline of events and people important to the venue. Then you enter a theater for an excellent video presentation. I felt like I was at Disney, it was so well done. Then, you enter the theater. There are exhibits along the sides. You spend as much time as you like. Can sit in the seats. Take photos (no videos). There was an expert there who answered several questions in a friendly way. You go downstairs, and can get your picture taken while in stage, for free. You pick up your photo in the gifts after. All in all, very interesting and fun. Elevator was available. So much history.

What an amazing experience! Great place to visit!
