Cheekwood was absolutely magical ✨ From the moment we arrived, the experience felt so thoughtfully done. The adult drinks were fantastic—the mule in particular was so, so good and such a fun treat while walking through the grounds. The lights singing in sync with the music were stunning and created such an immersive, festive atmosphere. It truly felt like stepping into a holiday storybook. The trains were a huge hit with my kids—they were completely mesmerized by all the tiny details and craftsmanship. You could tell so much care went into every scene, and it made the experience feel special for both kids and adults. Bathrooms were easy to access and available, which made the evening stress-free for families. Just a heads-up: the castle does require separate admission, but it’s good to know ahead of time. Overall, Cheekwood is a must-see during the season—beautiful, magical, family-friendly, and with great touches for adults too. We’ll absolutely be back! One helpful tip: parking may be a bit challenging if you’re handicap or have mobility concerns. The parking areas are somewhat gravelly and hilly, so I’d definitely recommend getting dropped off at the top if possible for easier access.
Cheekwood Estate & Gardens was where I first experienced Dale Chihuly’s glass art, and it completely changed how I see his work. This visit was years ago, and it sparked a long-lasting appreciation... I’ve since visited multiple Chihuly exhibitions and even own a couple of his books as well art. The way the glass is installed throughout the gardens is stunning. The colors, shapes, and movement feel intentionally placed, as if the art and the landscape were designed together. The pieces enhance the beauty of the grounds, and the grounds elevate the art right back. If you’re in Nashville and enjoy outdoor art, gardens, or immersive exhibitions, Cheekwood’s Chihuly installation is unforgettable. It’s peaceful, inspiring, and one of those experiences that stays with you long after you leave.

Merry & Bright! A Christmas weekend in Nashville wouldn’t have been complete without exploring the incredible displays in the gardens and mansion. Start at the mansion, it’s best to go early as the line can get long. The themed rooms were stunning, and the art collection was an unexpected delight! Afterward, enjoy a stroll through the gardens, indulge in s’mores, and sip on tasty beverages. Don’t miss the Christmas marketplace, it’s perfect for picking up a keepsake or even purchasing a gift to donate to a military family for the holidays. It was a wonderful evening, and I highly recommend a visit!
The decorations are beautiful, but there aren't many of them compared to last year. Also, if you want to come with your family, with kids, be prepared to shell out around 2 hundreds for tickets. There's no parking, even if you're a member and were promised free parking when you bought it. Cars are parked in construction dust, on rocks, and very close to each other. We ended up leaving in a dirty, dusty и scratched car
My wife absolutely enjoyed the Christmas lights. Im a native Nashvillian so i grew up going to cheekwood. She's from Fl and her never seen such beauty so I decided to open her eyes to how beautiful Nashville can be. Her favorite area was Cheekwood trains, mine was the mansion. Had there not been a problem with the heat in the mansion this review would be longer and have 5 stars BUUUUUUT there was a HUGE problem with the heat inside the mansion. It was in the 60's outside which was perfect weather for the gardens but inside the mansion the heater was broken so the heat was BLASTING! it felt like it was in the high 80's inside as we walked around. Everyone was fanning and wiping sweat from their brow as we all tried to walk around and enjoy what we were seeing. I honestly would've spent more time in the art gallery if it weren't for the extreme heat. The mansion is absolutely gorgeous inside and out but the heat was just to much for us to enjoy it. So after about 30 minutes inside we went back out for some relief. All in all I we drove up from FL so I could take my wife to experience a piece of my childhood and a bit of Nashvilles splendor. Loved every moment of it except for the heat. The food and gift shop stuff was a bit overpriced, but that was to be expected with all the tourists walking about. Love you cheekwood, wish I could've given you a 5 but the heat issue really ruined the whole experience for my wife.
