It’s the return of the Summer of More, perfect for family travelers, at Nashville’s Gaylord Opryland, starting May 19 and running through Sept. 4.

The Summer of More lineup of activities includes the Adventure Kids’ Clubhouse, featuring seasonally inspired crafts; Adventure Kids: Join the Club!, where guests join characters in a live, interactive show; and Pirate Treasure Hide and Sea-k Scavenger Hunt, with clues scattered throughout the hotel. With Adventure Kids Rise & Shine, families can start the morning with yoga on the in-room television. The Lost Treasure Flatboat Voyage lets families look for clues to find gems on a flatboat voyage, or the Delta Riverboat Ride, which travels down a scenic river in a 4.5-acre indoor garden teaching about plants, fish and more. Cascades outdoor resort pool hosts a pool party with music, games and fun.
There’s much for guests to enjoy, both as part of the Summer of More — like light and fountain shows, a Horticultural Trek, selfie spots, Animal Encounters and augmented reality — and resort-wide, including SoundWaves, an upscale water attraction with thrilling rides, and much more.

The Summer of More offer includes one-night accommodations, two booklets for the Pirate and Treasure Hide and Sea-k Scavenger Hunt, and two passes to create crafts. Rates start at $484. The Summer of More + SoundWaves package is also on offer.
