True to its name it looks like the parthenon. While it was somewhat interesting from a historical perspective they could perhaps have more exhibits to give you a deeper understanding of the history of the real parthenon. More

Beautiful building located in Centenial Park, it is an exact replica just in better shape than it's Greek counterpart. Spend the $6.00 and go inside to learn the history of the building and look at vintage pix of the 1897 Expo. More

Easy parking; easy for handicapped; We tagged along with a school tour to hear the guide. Very informative. Not sure we would have enjoyed it as much on our own. They really need to have little headsets with additional information, so if you don't luck out as we did and find a tour to join you can still get a... More

Really enjoyed the Parthenon, great replica of the original. You have to see the Athena, she is awesome. Plus the park right outside was real nice too. A must visit when going to Nashville. More

I have been to Nashville many times but did not know about this. I heard about it upon researching my visit to Athens Greece and the real Parthenon. I saw that the only place where a genuine reconstruction of actual Parthenon was in Nashville. I went and was very inpressed with the structure, the Atena Status and History of its... More

I like to drive via Nashville. If I have a chance, i make a stop in Centennial Park near by the building of Parthenon. Yes, it's nice to watch old Athens replica in the middle of the United States, to understand, that people coming her many years ago tried to bring the best things of world culture. I always tell...
