Hall of Fame is great, even if your new a huge country music fan. The Hatch Show Print is a unique experience but, it was difficult to hear both of the tour guides. They need louder voices or a microphone. It was still interesting, but I wouldn't do it again.
Laura was a great tour guide. The experience was very fun and educational. Got to make our own print and bring it home.The tour lasted about 50 minutes or so. The cost is about $20 a person. I thought it was worth the cost. Definitely recommend this tour.
Hatch was so much fun. Super interesting and informative. I was traveling w 3 kids under 10. If traveling with young kids, ask the ticket booth for Young Explorer kits. It’s a scavenger hunt through the Country Music HOF.
We did a tour of the Hatch Show first. Super interesting and a great tour. Then we spent time at the Country Music Hall of Fame. I especially liked the history of the early years of country music. Do not miss this.
Well organized with knowledgeable guides. Fun and informative. Very unique experience. Enjoyed making our own prints!
We loved learning the history, seeing all the awesome prints, and trying out the process to take home a unique souvenir.
An interactive and informative tour that gives the history of the early show poster business until the present time.
A great and informative experience! Must do!! The guide and her partner in the print shop were very knowledgeable and made the experience fun and exciting!
We enjoyed a great tour with Margaret. She was well informed and shared a great deal of history with us about Hatch Show Print. We enjoyed seeing the print shop in action, looking at all the old machinery and processes, the show prints on the walls and making a sample print as well. We highly recommend this fun and unique tour!
Enjoyed the history of country western music and how it influenced other musicians. great exhibits. Saw some Tv clips of Elvis, and how he influence everybody.
