Tennessee Solar Eclipse 2017: Where To Watch

Tennessee is chock full of prime places to watch the upcoming solar eclipse. Celebrate with songs at Total Eclipse Opry, sail and sip during a Viewing Party on the Pontoon Saloon or observe animal behavior at Animal Eclipse at The Nashville Zoo.

Here are three spots across the state that are perfect for watching the 2017 total solar eclipse:

#1 Total Eclipse Opry - Experience the 2017 Total Solar Eclipse with the sun, the moon and the Grand Ole Opry stars. The Opry venue itself is located in the direct path of the eclipse belt, and it is bringing in some of country's biggest stars to help celebrate this phenomenon in style. You can purchase tickets to Total Eclipse Opry online. Tickets and packages vary in price, with options starting at $90.

#2 Viewing Party on the Pontoon Saloon - Climb aboard a booze cruise for an eclipse experience that is anything but ordinary. This three-hour cruise has a route that aligns perfectly with the eclipse's path for maximum visibility. The cruise is BYOB, so load up on libations before kissing land-lubbers goodbye. Space is limited, so reserve your spot aboard the Pontoon Saloon as soon as possible.

#3 Animal Eclipse at The Nashville Zoo - It's clear that people are flipping out about the upcoming solar eclipse, but how will animals behave during this mesmerizing black out? Bring the family to the Nashville Zoo for a collaborative viewing project. Zoo guests are encouraged to record different animal behaviors during the eclipse, and the first 5,000 guests will receive free eclipse glasses! The event is included in general zoo admission, which is $16.

Regardless of where in Tennessee you choose to watch this natural phenomenon, how you watch it is equally as important.
