It’s hard to describe this place in words...convention center, hotel, small city...simply amazing. If you need an indoor place to explore on a rainy day this is it! The place has an enormous indoor atrium with a boat tour on it’s river. Shops and restaurants are sprinkled throughout the glass topped structure. Their newest addition is an indoor/outdoor water park! Parking at the hotel is expensive, so we recommend the locals trick of parking at Opry Mills mall and taking the short walk next door to the hotel.
