Step inside one of the world’s premier destinations for country music lovers. The Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum in Nashville celebrates the genre’s heritage through interactive exhibits, historic artifacts, performances, and educational programs.

Free Admission for Local Youth
Kids and teens living in the Nashville area can explore the Museum galleries at no cost through the Local Youth Free Admission program. Residents age 18 and under from Davidson (Nashville), Cheatham, Robertson, Rutherford, Sumner, Williamson, or Wilson counties are eligible. Children under 5 are always admitted free.
Proof of Residency
Eligible youth should bring a school or library ID, driver’s permit or license, report card, or even a school T-shirt in some cases. Adults verifying residency need a photo ID plus a document showing a local address.
Guidelines
Youth 15 and younger must visit with an adult or chaperone aged 16 or older, while teens 16–17 can show their own ID or proof of residency.
Discounts for Adults
When a qualifying youth visits, up to two accompanying adults receive 25% off general admission. Adults do not receive free entry, but the discount makes it easier for families to enjoy the experience.
Membership & Extra Savings
Frequent visitors may consider a membership, which includes unlimited gallery and Education Center access, family events, workshops, songwriter sessions, discounts on tours like Historic RCA Studio B and Hatch Show Print, and savings in the Museum Store. Eligible local families receiving SNAP or Families First benefits can purchase a Family Membership for just $5.
Plan Your Visit
Bring proof of local residency for at least one group member, reserve tickets in advance for popular programs, and check the events calendar for special family activities. Experience the heart of country music and create lasting memories right in downtown Nashville.
