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.

Fundraising underway for Tina Turner statue to be placed in Brownsville park

Fundraising efforts are underway in Brownsville and Nutbush, TN to build a statue for a major superstar who was raised there, Anna Mae Bullock. You probably know her by her stage name, Tina Turner. I was a huge fan of Tina and glad to see efforts are underway to showcase more of her ties to West Tennessee.
