NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — You can call it the unofficial start to summer! Two of our area's biggest water attractions are opening their doors to guests today!

Nashville Shores will open for its 26th season. That includes its gigantic wave pool, ten waterslides and of course the lazy river.

General admission tickets are $45 and kids two and younger are free.

Soundwaves also opens at Gaylord Opryland today!

The four-acre water park includes both indoor and outdoor attractions, including eleven waterslides, a lazy river and a wave pool.

If you're looking for a stocking stuffer, here's a cool idea from an autistic teen to help benefit the Nashville Zoo. I had a chance to see some of Will Woods' work as a judge for Bellevue's Holidays in the Vue Christmas parade.
