Which Country Music Hall of Fame ticket is best for you?

Things to know before booking your Country Music Hall of Fame tickets

Booking window

Advance booking required: Tickets are sold exclusively online. Timed entries—and especially guided upgrade slots like RCA Studio B—can sell out 2–3 weeks ahead during peak periods (As of 2026-02). Booking early avoids delays.

What’s included

Core access provided: Standard tickets grant entry to the museum’s permanent exhibits and Hall of Fame Rotunda. Optional add-ons such as audio guides, RCA Studio B tours, or Hatch Show Print tours offer extra insights and a tailored route through the displays.

Entrances & flow

Streamlined entry process: Visitors enter via the main door at 222 Rep. John Lewis Way S. Prebooked tickets let you bypass the purchase counter, though security screenings (typically 10–30 minutes) remain. Accessible features ensure smooth arrivals.

Ways to explore

Flexible touring options: Tickets offer self-guided navigation through interactive, chronological exhibits. Optional audio commentary can help overcome language barriers and optimize routing so you don’t miss key displays.

Policies & rules

Entry regulations apply: Tickets are nominative and require matching ID. Once admitted, re-entry isn’t permitted. Standard security screenings and bag checks apply. Non‑flash photography is allowed; food and drinks are restricted to designated areas.

Tips & guidelines

Wear comfortable walking shoes—it’s a half-day, self-guided tour through multiple floors and long gallery walks in the busy downtown area of Nashville.
Bring a light jacket during spring or fall trips as Nashville’s weather can shift quickly between chilly breezes outside and warmer, air-conditioned museum galleries.
Pack a portable power bank if you plan to use the audio guide; this ensures your device stays charged while you explore interactive exhibits.
Plan for indoor congestion; if you’re traveling with kids, remind them to move slowly through text-heavy exhibits and take advantage of available seating areas for breaks.

Step into Nashville's musical legacy with museum entry and exclusive access to a recording studio.

Everything you get: Self-guided visit to the museum with access to all ongoing exhibits, entry to the Hall of Fame Rotunda, and galleries featuring extensive artifacts & fashion. Followed by a 1-hour guided tour of RCA Studio B, where hit songs were recorded iconic artists such as Dolly Parton and Elvis Presley.
