Cheekwood Estate & Gardens was where I first experienced Dale Chihuly’s glass art, and it completely changed how I see his work. This visit was years ago, and it sparked a long-lasting appreciation... I’ve since visited multiple Chihuly exhibitions and even own a couple of his books as well art. The way the glass is installed throughout the gardens is stunning. The colors, shapes, and movement feel intentionally placed, as if the art and the landscape were designed together. The pieces enhance the beauty of the grounds, and the grounds elevate the art right back. If you’re in Nashville and enjoy outdoor art, gardens, or immersive exhibitions, Cheekwood’s Chihuly installation is unforgettable. It’s peaceful, inspiring, and one of those experiences that stays with you long after you leave.

Cheekwood is one of my favorite places to photograph such a special moment like a proposal! The gardens are beautifully maintained year-round, with countless picturesque spots that make every proposal feel unique. The staff has always been kind and welcoming, and the estate provides an elegant, timeless backdrop that couples absolutely love. I always look forward to photographing here and highly recommend visiting for any special occasion, or just for fun!

You MUST visit this place. I was skeptical at the beginning since I didn't see so many pictures of this place and I didn't know how big this place was and how was looking on real time. I'm glad I came, this place it's like wonderland, so pretty and peaceful. If you can, you can spend hours here just contemplating the nature. They also have a mansion, it's a different price just the gardens or both, I paid for both but I didn't really enjoyed the mansion but that's on me, I rather spend time on the nature than museums so, it's ups to you, if you like story, then pay for both, if not and you don't have much time, only pay for the garden. So worth to flight to Nashville and visit this place! Loved it.

Cheekwood is a beautiful estate that expands across 55 acres. Tickets start around $22 with an extra $5 fee for parking. The estate is very accessible, with the majority of paths being wheelchair accessible. Wheelchairs are provided by the estate on a first come first serve basis. The mansion is accessible via elevator with the exception of one room which has two or three steps. Golf carts and shuttles go back and forth to between the mansion and the parking lot for those who may need them.

Cheekwood is a unique place. Quiet and beautiful. It has gardens, sculptures, buildings, and a mansion. Not quite a botanical garden, but it has events. It allows dogs, which is a good and bad thing to me. I am a member of the AHS so we got free admission. It has nice trails, water features, pretty vistas, and a cool train display. No real indoor gardens. My main gripe is the parking. It used to be free. I understanding needing to charge but goodness I wasn't expecting to park in a rough gravel lot at a 20 degree angle.. wish I had brough my SUV or maybe made the trek from Percy Warner to avoid the fee. Maybe charge for the actual lot and then parking in the poorly graded gravel, rocky area should be free... my last two photos show this :)
