If you’re looking for a fun and unforgettable summer getaway the whole family will love, look no further than the DC Superhero Summer at Gaylord Opryland Resort in Nashville! As a mom of two teenagers, and we had our energetic bonus three-year-old , finding a trip that entertains everyone is no small feat—but this one was a total win!
Why Gaylord Opryland is the Ultimate Family Destination
Gaylord Opryland is our home away form home. We always love to visit. From the moment we step into the atrium of Gaylord Opryland, it feels like we have entered another world. With lush indoor gardens, waterfalls, boat rides, and family-friendly restaurants, the resort itself is a vacation. But this summer, it’s taken to a whole new level with their DC Superhero Summer of Fun package.
The DC Superhero Experience – Perfect for All Ages
We enjoyed the Gaylord Opryland Summer Superhero Package, and it was packed with exciting activities. The themed scavenger hunt through the resort had Ella and Beckett competing to find clues, while Annikin was just excited to spot all the superhero signage along the way.
But the highlight of the trip? Meeting real-life DC Superheroes! When Annikin saw Superman and Wonder Woman in person, his face absolutely lit up. He was a little shy at first, but by the time Batman gave him a high five, he was in full superhero mode—cape and all!
Be sure to book the Hall of Justice Character Dining and DC Super Hero Academy Live Show.
Teen-Approved Fun Too
While the little ones are sure to love the interactive superhero fun, teens will find plenty to enjoy, too. They also loved the late night movie under the stars. This year you can grab a float and lay in the wave pool while watching a movie. Mine also the love independence of walking around the resort to grab ice cream or head to the arcade.
Don’t Miss the Water Park – SoundWaves
No trip to Opryland is complete without time at SoundWaves, the resort’s exclusive indoor/outdoor water experience. Our whole crew loved the lazy river, thrilling water slides, and lounging by the wave pool. It’s a great way to cool off after a morning full of hero action!
Tips for Planning Your Visit
If you’re planning a trip this summer, here are a few tips from our family:
- Book early – The superhero package is popular and often sells out.
- Bring superhero costumes – Annikin wore his Batman outfit and got SO many compliments!
- Download the activity schedule – There are pop-up meet-and-greets and events happening all over the resort.
- Use the resort’s app to navigate and keep track of your reservations.
