Nashville Hotels Offer Holiday on Ice Packages starting at $189/N

Country fans will want to get on one of these fun-filled packages before the year is out. Young or old, any generation can appreciate what this city of country legends has to offer.

The Loews Hotel’s "Ticket to Music City" package offers two tickets to the Country Music Hall of Fame as well as overnight valet parking at the hotel. Valid through December 30, 2009, rates start at $189/N, but if looking to book ahead of time, don’t miss out on the 14-Day Advance Purchase special.

By making an earlier reservation, guests can save up to 10% with this offer. If this spacious 340-guest-room hotel – complete with a gift shop, art gallery and dry cleaning and laundry service – doesn’t cut it, then no hotel will.

Gaylord Opryland Hotel’s “Grandparents Play and Stay Free” package is another fun option over the upcoming holidays.

From November 20, 2009 to January 2, 2010, the Gaylord Opryland Hotel and Convention Center is giving grandparents the chance to spend time with their grandchildren for a low rate beginning at $396 for two nights, all taxes included.

With the hotel’s extravagant in-door nine-acre gardens filled with more than 10,000 different plants, ornate, flowing fountains and waterfalls and plenty of entertainment, how can this deal get any better? Throw in free tickets to ICE!™ featuring A Charlie Brown Christmas as well as a free souvenir photo, and a two-night stay turns into an experience of a lifetime.

After the show, be sure to check out the ice slide, where kids can slip down cooly lit and sizable slides carved entirely out of ice.

Accommodations for the package include two queen-sized or one king-sized bed, at the guest’s request. Self-parking is $18/N, while visitors with handicap tags may receive valet parking for the same price.

While enjoying the sights and sounds of the city, broaden the kids’ minds at the Adventure Science Center, where six scientific themes of interactive exhibits will be enough to keep them busy for an entire day. Have the young ones crawl through the four chambers of a human heart, pluck the strings and feel the vibrations of a massive guitar, or lift a car without even breaking a sweat.

For the animal-lovers in your entourage, visit the 350+ species living in the Nashville Zoo. A person of any age can appreciate the crazy-eyed ring-tailed lemurs, the adorable Clouded Leopard kittens or the sinister but comically endowed Eyelash Viper.
