We had a guided tour of the Parthenon which I highly recommend. Our guide was very knowledgeable and pointed out features and details I would have missed. This place is huge but is wheelchair accessible. Lot of interesting art pieces inside and a nice park outside.
I spent about an hour and a half reading and viewing the items in the Parthenon. There were interactive exhibits, nice art, and looking at the sculptures and particularly Athena is a sight that can’t be put into words. The customer service was great! Gift shop has something for everyone and at tourist prices. 4.5/5 stars because I wish it didn’t smell like a Greece-y fart the whole time.
This place is amazing. We come here often. It is great to just walk around outside. You don't even have to go inside to enjoy the majesty of the place.
Now, the inside is impressive and totally worth going into. The history of how the Parthenon came to be in Nashville is astonishing. Greek mythology will always have a pull on the modern world, but standing in front of that massive state of Athena will always amaze.
I feel like I learn something new every time I go. Check it out, definently a hidden gem of Nashville.

Wow. I've seen the real thing, and now this one. I mean, the real thing took my breath away. This one is amazing. I didn't get to go inside. We were there on an off day, but we did walk around it. It is still amazing to me that the original was built so far back in time. This one is an exact replica. So even in modern times, this is still great architecture. The detail in the pillars and in the whole structure is absolutely amazing. I can't imagine how this one was built. I read the history and I recommend you do the same. It's interesting what the original place looked like during the fair. They did a lot of redesigning and reconstruction to complete this replica. It is very well done.
The Parthenon in Nashville is a true gem of a replica, capturing the grandeur and beauty of the original in Greece. Nestled in Centennial Park, this architectural marvel transports you to ancient Athens. The meticulous attention to detail in its construction is awe-inspiring, from the colossal Athena Parthenos statue to the Doric columns.
Walking through the grand entrance, you're immediately enveloped in the rich history and culture it represents. The art gallery within is a treasure trove of classical art, adding depth to your visit. The lush park surroundings provide the perfect backdrop for photos and a leisurely stroll.
Visiting the Parthenon is an enriching experience, offering a profound connection to the past. It's a must-see attraction in Nashville that will leave you with a sense of wonder and appreciation for the enduring legacy of ancient Greece!

What a unique experience! This was an amazing museum filled with very interesting historical pieces. I loved the temporary exhibits and the outside grounds as well! Athena holding a 6 ft tall Nike was incredible!
