It was less busy up there, and felt really manageable to watch and play with the girls in these areas. Both are pictured below! It was really nice that this area was sort of separate from the main indoor space. Right next to this area is the Quarter Note Cove which is basically a splash pad for younger kids. There’s small and medium slides, areas to climb, and shallow water to play in. The main area we spent time in as on the top level where they have an area just for kids called the Half Note Cove. We went on this probably 20 times! There was also a faster “Up Tempo Lazy River” (no rafts) that was fun, but the girls didn’t love as much. You don’t need to bring towels or life jackets - they have those readily available for you! THE WATER PARK: WHAT TO DOīoth girls loved going on the lazy river ( “Down Tempo Lazy River”) with rafts and lifejackets. BUT there’s a lot of walking from hotel room to Soundwaves, and it was just very useful to have. We didn’t use the stroller when going from different attractions within Soundwaves, outside of entering/exiting the water park area. I’m REALLY glad we brought our travel stroller for this trip, because there was A LOT of walking. We packed our water bottles, sunscreen, an extra swim diaper. I also had a beach bag I used for the water park specifically. The hotel rooms have a mini fridge, so that was really helpful for storing fruit, pouches, milk, etc. WHAT TO PACKįor the hotel stay, we packed a small suitcase with clothes, toiletries, and pajamas, as well as snacks. Easy! I read somewhere that the Soundwaves wristband stops working at 12pm on the day you checkout, but as long as you stay within Soundwaves, you are good to go to use the water park all day. Then, we packed up our room and headed to the car. So we went to the water park right when it opened at 10am and stayed until 11:30am. On Wednesday, check-out was at 12pm and we wanted to be home for the girls’ naps around 1pm. We dropped our bags off, called down for a crib for Winnie, and headed to the water park! ![]() When we arrived, we found out our room was already ready at 10am (!!) so that was AWESOME. And if our room wasn’t ready by then…it wouldn’t be great re: naps (see below section “Managing Kids Schedules”) but we’d just try to go with the flow. I knew we could leave your luggage at the front desk and pick them up when the hotel room is ready (check-in says 4pm).We planned to ask for early check-in, hoping we could get in around 12/1pm for naps. ![]() Given we had Soundwaves access at opening on Tuesday, we decided to get there right around opening at 10am. Our Soundwaves wristbands were mailed to us and Eric checked into our hotel on the Mariott app. You are able to access Soundwaves both days of your reservation, so for us, that meant we could be at the water park all day Tuesday AND Wednesday. ![]() It ended up being around $350, which for a hotel stay in Nashville plus four, two-day water park tickets isn’t too bad! This also included our onsite parking. We booked a one night hotel stay and indicated online we needed four Soundwaves passes. ![]() We didn’t have any issues booking online, but I’ve heard it’s easy to also call them and book directly that way.įrom what I understand, you can only access Soundwaves if you are a hotel guest or if you book a birthday party package. Here is the page to book with a resident offer. There’s resident discounts - both for Davidson County (where we live) and Tennessee residents. We opted for a one night stay on the Tuesday after Memorial Day with a Wednesday checkout. We intentionally wanted to go on a weekday to avoid a bigger weekend crowd.
