⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis is one of the most powerful and moving places I have ever visited. It’s hard to fully understand the depth of certain tragedies unless you lived through them or felt their lasting impact in your daily life. I lived through the tragic murder of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and the ripple effects of that loss remain with me to this day. Walking through this museum, I was reminded of that painful moment in history while also inspired by the strength and courage of those who fought for justice. The exhibits are laid out with great care and detail, telling the story of the Civil Rights Movement from slavery through the 1960s and beyond. Standing at the Lorraine Motel, looking at the balcony where Dr. King took his final steps, was overwhelming. It is both heartbreaking and humbling. The museum does more than present history—it makes you feel it. The powerful visuals, personal stories, and authentic atmosphere ensure that every visitor leaves with a deeper understanding of the fight for equality. This museum is a must-visit for all generations, a place of learning, reflection, and hope for the future.

I am very thankful to have been able to visit here with my family! The amount of underlining love that seemed to surround this area as well as a bit of sadness in the air being so close to where Dr. King's life was ended from such a cowardly act of hate is so surreal. The museum was very informative and reflected our history well.

Wow. Beautifully constructed, my only complaint was WOW that was a lot to read. (As a reader, that is a good thing!) But I didn’t have nearly enough time. If you wanted to truly learn and read everything in there, it would take you 5hrs to get through. So plan accordingly. There is a large free parking lot half a block from the museum, so that was lovely. Staff was INCREDIBLE! So friendly, polite, and answered any questions I had.

This is an absolute **must-do in Memphis**. Visiting the National Civil Rights Museum was a powerful and emotional experience. It’s incredibly educational and eye-opening — walking through the exhibits truly makes you reflect on the strength, courage, and sacrifices of those who fought for equality. You can feel the history in every part of the museum, and it’s both heartbreaking and inspiring at the same time. I left with a deeper sense of gratitude and respect for the movement and for those who paved the way. Everyone should visit this museum at least once in their lifetime.

The National Civil Rights Museum is very well organized. I liked that it started with information about life in Africa pre-enslavement and that there was an introductory video prior to visitors entering the full exhibit. There was plenty of information on display from various time periods including the Jim Crow era, the bus boycott, sit ins, integration of schools, the Black Power movement, etc.

Excellent place to visit to see the world at that time in the country fighting for civil rights. History that needs to be taught in school to understand what it was like as people of color fought and died for to have basic human rights. Very informative highly recommended if you are in the Memphis area.

The place is very well maintained and clean. But museum is horrible, there is too much text with random information and people with no lead, it is impossible to follow and learn anything, apart from random facts maybe.

It was okay, nothing exciting, but was also there on a Thursday night so I'm sure that makes a difference. I do recommend going and experiencing it though! Plenty of places to pop in have a drink or something to eat as well.

Such a cool spot. It’s really poppin on weekends. And they have full security which is nice.

Absolutely brilliant little street with cool shops & bars with loud music. Travellers from UK 🇬🇧 road trip USA 🇺🇸

Great spot to visit during the day, get out at night to avoid the wild party crowds!

Ok for a Tuesday night. Places to see some history but mostly just shopping and bars.

When the music is NOT playing the streets are pretty empty. Go late and plan to wander the main drag. As with any city full of tourists, just be aware of your surroundings.

After our Graceland tour we decided to hit Beale Street. Highlight was stopping into BB King’s Blues Bar and listening to live music. The food was good and the ribs were the best I’d had.

Visiting Graceland in Memphis was a day I will never forget! I’m so glad I planned ahead. I bought my tickets weeks in advance to secure an early morning entry, and it was absolutely worth it. Arriving before the big crowds made the tour feel extra peaceful and serene. It's easy to understand why Elvis cherished his time here so much. Even the horse on the property was the calmest I’ve ever seen, adding to the tranquil atmosphere. The mansion itself is incredible. Every room is unique, showcasing Elvis’s one of a kind style and personal design choices. It’s fascinating to see how much of the decor was customized to his vision. The Meditation Garden was especially moving..beautiful, quiet, and the resting place where Elvis and his family are buried together. Photos are allowed throughout most of the visit though video is not permitted. The upstairs remains closed for privacy. Beyond the mansion, the experience continues with Elvis's plane, auto exhibition, multiple restaurants, museums, and shops filled with an incredible variety of Elvis memorabilia. The merchandising is top notch, there truly is something for every fan! I especially loved the Christmas ornaments! Graceland isn’t just a tourist attraction it’s an enduring tribute. The King’s presence is everywhere, and his legend truly lives on!!

For any die hard Elvis fan this is a must. Absolutely everything to do with Elvis Presley you can see it here. The exhibits are brilliant and well put together. There is a lot of walking but worth it. Did realise how many stage costumes he owned. Exciting to be able to basically be able to walk in his shoes visiting the house he lived and climbing on board his own private jet.

⭐️ Graceland – The Home of Elvis Presley 👑🎸 I booked my tour in advance — they have shuttles taking guests from the visitor center to the mansion. Just a short 3-minute ride and you’re there — and wow, the moment you arrive you feel the history! The house is amazing — from the elegant living room to the famous Jungle Room 🌴, the kitchen, and even the basement gym. Everything looks just like Elvis left it — a real time capsule of the King’s life. Outside you’ll find the beautiful Meditation Garden 🕊️ with Elvis’s grave and his family’s resting place — peaceful and emotional. After the mansion tour, the shuttle takes you back to explore the car museum 🚗 — including the legendary pink Cadillac, his Mercedes, motorcycles, gold records, and so much more! 🎶 Every corner tells a story — Graceland is not just a museum, it’s pure American music history. 📍 A must-visit in Memphis — worth every minute! 💡 Tip: Book early and go in the morning — less crowded and perfect lighting for photos! 📸✨

Visited for Mother’s Day Weekend 2023 I went to Graceland with my mother-in-law for Mother’s Day Weekend 2023, and the experience was absolutely worth it. This is one of those places you don’t truly understand until you’re standing in it. The home, the memorabilia, the décor, and the history all feel frozen in time, and you can see exactly how Elvis lived — not just the celebrity side, but the personal side. We toured the inside of the mansion, and every room is something different to look at. The Jungle Room, the living room, the trophy room, and the hall of gold records were unbelievable. You really feel the amount of work he put into his music and his life. The gardens were peaceful and well-kept, and visiting the meditation garden and gravesites was emotional and respectful. It’s quiet, beautiful, and a place you naturally slow down and take in. The staff kept things moving, and the grounds were clean and organized even though there were plenty of visitors. There’s a lot to see, so take your time — we took tons of photos because there’s no way to describe everything without them. If you're a lifelong Elvis fan or even just someone who appreciates American music history, Graceland is one of those bucket-list places you should see at least once. It was a memorable experience for both of us, and I’m glad we did it together for Mother’s Day. Highly recommend.

It's pricier than your average museum but worth it! Elvis was before my time but my father loved his music and played it when I was little. Elvis liked white leather and gold, he had great taste. Look to spend about 2 to 3 hours here. Parking was $10 and base admission for adults is $85.50.

Fantastic venue, there is just so much to see and do. I would recommend the "ultimate VIP tour" you get over a 2. 5 hour tour, our tour guide was Alexis she was absolutely awesome, her Elvis knowledge was beyond great. You get your guided tour followed by a nice lunch, then you have as long as you like to look around at all the exhibits, our tour started at 10:15 & we finally left at 17 30. The only reason we left then was because we couldn't walk any more and we had run out of energy, I would have loved to have stayed longer. If you come to Memphis, Gracelands is a must visit.

Was not disappointed when we visited here. It is great to see around the house and the surronding area and museums. Photos that are taken of you by staff are on the pricey side. If cheaper I am sure they would sell more (we did buy some as you are superimposed in front of the music gates to graceland). Inside the house is really interesting and well worth looking round. Outside is the horses area and where Elvis's family are buried. We also ate here but, the organisation on serving the food was terribly slow and not joined up.

Beautifully structured historical park. Amazing statuary.. plan 2-4 hours to get through it. A downloadable app is available to narrate and guide you through each stop telling you it's historical significance..the auditorium has a video about it as well to give you a better perspective.

If you have never been to Shiloh National Military Park. It is a must on your bucket list. I've been going to this place since I was a kid, and even after all these years, I still break down inside. This place will take you all day or even two if you choose. There are plenty of restrooms throughout the park. You can also ride bikes through the park if you choose to. (Must have a helmet). Bring plenty of drinks and even pack a lunch. This park is free of charge, but donations are accepted.

Really great! The 45-minute movie really brings the enormity of this battle home. You walk away really understanding the markers that you see on the fields and along the wood lines during the auto tour. The national cemetery is so beautiful, quiet and peaceful. What a perfect place to rest for all of eternity. Massive kudos to everyone involved in managing and maintaining this site for the American public. Job well done. Thanks so much!

One of the most hallowed places on American soil. The Battle of Shiloh, was, at the time, the bloodiest battle in American history. Two days of fighting brought over 23,000 casualties, including nearly 3500 dead. The self-guided auto tour is amazing; make sure you use the National Park Service app! We only spent a day there, but much like Gettysburg, the battlefield is so well preserved, monuments are so omnipresent, and historical sources are so plentiful, we could have spent a week here and not covered it all. My only criticism is the National Park Service has allowed vast amounts of undergrowth to flourish where there was none at the time of the battle. Cannon, therefore sit facing thick woods where they would have been facing open fields, taking away some of the feeling of what soldiers would have faced. An otherwise small detail in an amazing and historic place.

Very cool national park. Lots to see and do here, and very educational. Its a drive through park with opportunities to get and walk and take pictures along the way. Doesn't take too long to drive through and tour, so you'll have plenty of time to cross the border into Mississippi and travel to Corinth to see its sister park, stop in at Brices Crossroad Nation Military Park, Natchez Trace Parkway visitor center, and stop in at the Elvis Presley Birth Place Museum all in one day. Warning there is no cell service at the park. Highly recommend bring walkie talkies and a Garmin.

The guidebook says 3-4 hours to see everything. Budget a day. The free audio driving tour is great. It takes you around the battlefield in chronological order as things unfolded. Plenty of opportunities to get out of the car, walk the grounds. Lots of monuments and canon. Highlyrecommended. 2 thumbs 👍

Good historical park as a lot of lives have been lost but it’s good to learn about the history that happened! It’s a great park to do a car audio tour as you drive around the different stations around the park! I suggest starting out at the visitor center and getting a map from the park rangers! If you have a national park stamp book, make sure to bring it as this location has up to 4 or 5 stamps! Make sure to check out the historical mounds along the way! Also, watch out for poison ivy and snakes along the trail as I did see a few!

This was an amazing experience especially if you love history. It was a lot of information to take in at once, they are ran solely by tourism so please add this to your bucket list. I’m glad we decided to do this tour before leaving for back home in Canada. staff are very educated and welcoming! Must see !! I do however wish we could have taken pictures inside. Cameras are only allowed in the gift shop.

This is one of the best historical tours I have ever been on! My husband and I took our tween boys, who went begrudgingly. Our tour guide was so good that he quickly had them fully engrossed! The home is beautiful, extremely interesting, and full of history of course! We especially enjoyed the original paintings by Matilda Lotz, and were able to purchase a very nice print of one of those works in the gift shop. I will close by admitting my husband is difficult to impress, but he loved this tour! Don’t sleep on this one, just go!

Fantastic tour of an incredible, historic home! The tour was reasonably priced and the home has a lovely gift shop. Evan was our tour guide and he is so knowledgeable. Thank you, Evan!

I cannot say enough good things about the people who operate this museum. You can tell that they are so passionate about the history and love to tell the story. Our tour was led by JT, but every single person there was extraordinarily caring, sweet, and educated on all the history. As a local from just down the road in Spring Hill, I’m actually sad that I never experienced the tour sooner. This is absolutely a must do!

A small historic landmark with a big story! The tour was well worth the $17 donation. Tony is a great tour guide! He is passionate about the history of the house and is a great story teller! Thank you Tony.

If you are a fan of history, especially the nitty gritty right down to the centimeter type stories in history, then this is a must stop. Chuck was a fantastic guide and his wealth of knowledge on not just the battle of Franklin but also the stories of the families in town and their lives after the war. I can not recommend enough that you stop by the house to see and hear the story of the Lotz family.

We're so thankful that we stopped by and were able to hop on a tour of The Lotz House. The craftsmanship, story of the home, city and Lotz family, original war artifacts and Lotz family artifacts were extremely eye opening and truly breathtaking. Evan was our guide, he was extremely knowledgeable and has a great energy. You can tell he really cares about the history of this home, family and town. I would highly recommend a tour of this home should you find yourself in this area. War buff or not, this is a one of a kind experience.

I should have paid more attention in History class. It was a great tour, and the tour guides are very educated and passionate about this home. I would say take the tour it was AMAZING

Fantastic experience and tour. Kristi was passionate, thorough, and so engaging. Carnton makes an effort to teach history in all its facets, without sugarcoating or shying away from difficult truths. They focus on telling whole human story here instead of getting too hung up on the antiques in the house or the politics of battle (though they can absolutely speak to both of those things, too) Highly recommended.

I’m absolutely in love with history and if you are too I definitely recommend coming here! I went with a history club at my school and it was amazing! The tour guides here are very educated and you can tell they love what they do! This place is absolutely beautiful inside and out! Will definitely come back soon!!

Jeff was the best tour guide. I couldn’t believe he had only been doing tours for 2 weeks so far. Felt like he had been doing it for years. Super impressive. Felt all the sacrifices of all those that died for our country. What a cool place to go!

It was nice years ago but today its not the same. The tour is full of lies and fictional events. I wouldn't waste my time if you want to know what took place here. Best thing you can do is read books that have to do with the aera,home and the war then make your own opinion.

We did the plantation and battlefield tour and it was very interesting and informative. Our tour guide was Joseph and he did a fabulous job on taking a trip back in time and our group wasn’t very big but we marched a very short distance in linear formation across a small area of the battlefield and he was describing the tense moments being under a artillery barrage and me and my fiancée loved it. We will return again, great experience very polite staff in the gift shop and Joseph rocked!!!

We spent the weekend touring many historical sites and this one was by far the best - particularly because our tour guide, Jay, was very engaging. Definitely a worthwhile stop!

I absolutely loved visiting the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville! Their welcome video presentation was phenomenal! It was super creative, heartfelt, and such a fun way to learn about the incredible history of this iconic venue! We bought our tickets ahead of time, and the self guided tour made it easy to explore at our own pace since we were a bit short on time. I’m so glad we came here before visiting the Opry! It really helped us appreciate the roots and evolution of country music and how the Ryman played such a huge role in it all. There’s even a chance to get your professional photo taken on stage, which makes for a cool souvenir to take home! It’s amazing to see that the Ryman isn’t just a museum. It’s still an active performance venue hosting concerts, comedy shows, and special events year round. Seeing a live show here would be unforgettable, I wish I had more time! Important tip if visiting multiple museums in Nashville, I highly recommend starting at the Ryman it sets the perfect stage for everything that follows!

I recall visiting the Ryman during the 80s and we could only go in so far due to its poor condition. Years later I moved to Nashville, and I really enjoyed the live shows and TV Tapings. So many awesome talented musicians, cast, and crew members have made the Ryman a memorable experience. Dolly was filming a TV Special and nailed it the first time, but she said, 'I want to sing again because people have been waiting, and I don't just want to sing and leave.' She is thoughtful, amazing, and classy. The Ryman has such an amazing history that is on display and has been preserved. I love the Ryman and it looks amazing.

I had the BEST time seeing Ella Langley at the Ryman. It’s a perfect venue for a concert. The acoustics were great. She put on a big show, but it still felt like a small club, intimate experience! I can’t wait to go again!!

Our visit at the Ryman to see Tommy Emmanuel was a fantastic experience. Tommy was absolutely incredible, yet the Ryman made it even more so. The acoustics are fantastic and with the balcony and large floor area there really isn't a bad seat in the house. The auditorium is well maintained for its age. The staff were very kind where ever we interacted with them from the concessions to security and admissions to ushers. I really look forward to my next visit to the Ryman Auditorium.

Absolutely fantastic experience. Venue was top notch. Maybe the best in America. Music was impeccable. Had never seen Jason Isbell. Was blown away. The opening Middle School Mariachi band was superb. And I can't speak highly enough of the no cell phone policy. And it's vigorous enforcement. It's been almost 15 years since I was able to enjoy a concert and listen to the music without the traction of a thousand cell phones lit up around me. Thank you!

In town for a conference October 2024 and to my surprise BNL and Toad the Wet Sprocket were playing at the Ryman! I had an amazing 4th row/front row seat. Both bands were excellent! Had a great time!

The tour is very interesting for people that loves music! The immersive video that started the tour was incredible and all the memorabilia was amazing. Really loved being in that room that so many amazing musicians have played. I did the unguided tour and would be very willing to do the guided tour in another opportunity,.

We went through the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. It had a lot of interesting exhibits. The museum also has a number of restaurants inside and a great gift shop. The Red Onion is simply food court style with snacks, burgers, and wraps and tables in the lobby. The Bajo Taco is a fast food like restaurant with disposable plates and a limited number of tables. The best sit-down restaurant is Barliners with great ambiance and live music.

One of the beautiful museum showcasing the Country Music history. It offers an expansive and immersive experience with extensive exhibits on country music history that appeal to both die-hard fans and casual listeners. Exhibits are not just for country music purists. There are displays on artists like Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash, and Garth Brooks, along with Elvis's gold-plated Cadillac, making it interesting for a wide range of visitors. You should spare minimum two hours to visit the museum without enjoying shows presented in two theaters.

Better stop than you might expect. If it's really hot and you want to cool down, or rainy and you want to dry out but can't find a great honky tonk. Run in here. You can run through just looking at stuff and reading just a few things in less than an hour, but if you get into it like we found ourselves it took us over 2 hours. Easy to get tickets but recommend getting them early or online. Restrooms were clean enough. Gift shop packed with everything you need. The museum is Usually not jam packed and easy to take at your own pace. Give this review a like👍 or even mark as helpful ❤️ if you've read this far. Find the 6 shooter door handles if you can. Or Johnny cash's leather jacket. Be sure to watch the movie 🍿.

This was a beautiful museum, with food/drink options outside the entrance and a really great gift shop. I grew up loving country music. I was hoping to see more from artists like Reba McEntire, Billy Ray Cyrus, Carrie Underwood, and other artists from that era. I loved that Dolly had her own section of the museum. The museum had kind of a linear timeline. It would have been cool to see more how the music was affected by historical events or things going on within society. It felt a little disconnected. It was like like “XYZ wore this dress to the ABC award ceremony” which is cool too. Overall, it’s a great museum. Very beautiful. Worth checking out. I think it could be even greater though.

As someone who wasn’t familiar with country music prior to walking through the museum, I felt like I was schooled! There were wonderful exhibits denoting the history of this genre. I especially appreciated them including outfits and personal stories from some of the most influential artists! It was worth the entry prices for sure. You can also receive discounts if you’re in the military, a student, nurse, first responder, etc…! It takes about 2.5-3 hours to walk through while taking your time.

Absolutely loved the Country Music Hall of Fame! If you’re a country music fan or even just a music fan in general this place is a must-visit. The exhibits are beautifully curated, packed with history, iconic outfits, classic instruments, and stories that really bring the legends of country music to life. The building itself is stunning, and everything is laid out so well that you can take your time and enjoy it without feeling rushed.

We walked over from our hotel and got right in about 2 pm on Sunday. We spent an hour and a half total, including the the gift shop. We didn't read everything but spent some time looking at everything. It's very well done and I loved the intro to how American music was developed over time. The influences from Europe and Africa are unique. They have several Taylor Swift items which are lovely. The gift shop is full of unique and wonderful souvenirs choices. You can get your postcards and keychains for your friends back home.

We were there for a NextGen conference. I'm not a "fan" of country music. That said, it was pretty awesome to be seated in a place with such history. 100 years this month! So many names of so many great entertainers. The show was good. If this is your thing, I assure you, you'll enjoy it! The staff were friendly, the venue was clean.

A must see when in Nashville… the history of the building is incredible.. and when you combine the artists that play there regularly you have a winning combination. Suggest buying a parking pass and get your tickets online as the shows are well attended. The back stage tour is worth it for the hard core fans looking for a deep dive. The dressing rooms and memorabilia is very cool to see.

What a surreal experience getting to finally visit this beautiful piece of musical history. Having heard about this place thousands of time growing up in a country music loving family, loved getting to see it in real life. Awesome! Maybe one day I will perform here. ❤️

Wonderful venue. So much history. We have done the backstage tour which i highly recommend. This visit we did a show celebrating The Opry 100th year anniversary. It was incredible. We saw legends like Connie Smith and Junior Brown, the iconic Carrie Underwood, and rising star Preston Cooper. I was hoping Dolly Parton would show up. She was there 2 weeks after we were.

A highly recommended once in a lifetime experience. It’s worth paying the extra money for VIP treatment since you get to go backstage and actually sit on the stage for a few songs. Everyone was friendly and I had a great day.

This was my first time visiting Nashville, and I’m so glad I ended my trip with a visit to the Grand Ole Opry. I’m not usually a country music listener, so I walked in expecting a fun experience but nothing too life-changing. Instead, the show completely blew me away. The performers were incredible, the energy in the room felt electric, and the whole night was this surprising mix of heart, humor, and pure talent. The Opry has a way of pulling you in even if the genre isn’t normally your thing. You can feel the history in the space, but the show itself feels alive and full of joy. It was the perfect finale to my time in Nashville, and honestly one of the highlights of my entire trip. Five stars without question.

I’m not a country music fan at all, but if you’re going to visit Nashville, you kinda have to go, don’t you. I did and I have regrets. It was awesome and fun! Live music, regardless of genre, is just super cool and enjoyable. We had great seats way up high to the right of the the stage. It was really a perfect view. All the performers were great. I really enjoyed it. It is a beautiful venue. Got to subtract one star for charging $9 for a tall boy. Jeez, c’mon, man! Gouge, gouge, gouge.

This was one of my favorite tours of all time. Beyond what I was expecting which was just a look around an old distillery. Well it was way more than that. It was a walk back in time and through America’s history. This tour was incredible for how it took you inside the day to day workings of Jack Daniel’s which is the same today, more or less, than it was back in the late 1800s. They have been making old number 7 the same way as the distillery’s founders did all those years ago. This was a wonderful sensory tour combining visual, aural, and aromatic moments that truly drove home what it is to make Jack Daniel’s whiskey. And on top of that was the tour guide Matt. His wonderful personality and engaging style made this tour unforgettable.

The “all about the barrel” tour was absolutely fantastic! We learned so much and enjoyed touring the facilities. Kayla was extremely knowledgeable and did a great job of explaining everything. This was a highlight of our trip and we would definitely do it again!

We went on "A day at Jack" tour and our guide was Justin. It was an amazing tour, newly added. Justin did a fantastic job and made the day so much fun. We were learning and exploring the distillery and process, Miss Mary Bobo's and downtown Lynchburg. There were stories shared, Jack was sampled, great food was consumed, and plenty of laughs were had.

The All About The Barrel Tour was great. Kayla was very informative, patient and entertaining. She knows all the answers and if she didn't she found them out. She is an excellent public speaker and great tour guide. We got to see inside barrel houses, had slushies, went to the rickyard, saw the special water source and Jack Daniel's office. We walked through the process watched a video and ended at a tasting with a few small take home gifts. While at the visitor center stop in the White Rabbit Bottle shop. Mr. Flanders, the security guard, is friendly and had a great conversation. He suggested other things in the area, the next area we were traveling to, and hotel options. There are other tour options but All About The Barrel is a good one. Locally there is some controversy and are some hurt feelings between the origins story. Come check out Jack Daniel's Distillery and visit the area.

This was an interesting tour. As a Jack Daniels drinker I was able to see how the whiskey is made. My wife who isn't a Jack Daniels drinker for the tour and the information very interesting. It is amazing what goes into each shot of whiskey. This is a walking tour with a tasting at the end. Be sure to visit the gift shop, you will find some items here that are not available in stores.

We visited the Jack Daniel’s Distillery today and had a great experience. Our tour guide, Debbie, was incredibly pleasant and made the whole excursion fun and interesting. We really enjoyed the tour and would definitely recommend it!

A really great experience. Let me tell you that you are allowed the tasting and one addition alcoholic beverage which was your choice of Jack and lemonade and or Jack and coke, both are slushies and the slushy is for an additional charge. It was my first tour of a distillery. There were some stairs but not a whole lot. Our host was charming and funny. He told us about the history of the distillery and how they make it all. The tasting room was top notch. They taught us how to really drink whiskey which helped a lot. It was a really amazing tour.

Nice piece of history here. I always enjoy learning about these places and arrived as they were starting a reenactment. Nice little museum and gift shop. There is also the cemetery across the street that is quite humbling in my opinion. Check it out sometime!!

Nice (somewhat interactive) museum, super friendly and knowledgeable staff, there’s a short video clip to watch that explains the story of the grounds, and there are trails to explore the property. Some (walking) paths are dirt while others are (drivable) paved. I did not utilize it but there is also audio along the driven tour.

This place has it all! You can dial on your phone and listen to a narrative of each of the areas that are clearly marked with a number and you get to hear the story of what happened at that area...... battlefields , cannons, unusually shaped stone walls within a forest where people fought and died, a visitor center with helpful workers and a gift shop. They had information on my relative who fought in that battle. There's also a large cemetery across the street of the soldiers who didn't make it through the battle.

Very nice visitor center and very informative attendees. Cost is free. You can drive or walk the main tour. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

What a delight! Loved this location and hope to take more visitors in the future. My child did the jr park ranger course and we learned so much. Well maintained aside from some of the exhibits not working.

What a beautiful battlefield. When you look at the historical significance it might be hard to fathom what happened here. Thousands of men lost their lives fighting for something they believed in. The grounds are well kept and very organized. The route is drivable with parking set at the different spots. Many opportunities to explore and take pictures. Immerse yourself in Americas history

Open to the public. The guide signs were very helpful and the grounds are well kept despite the city growing up around them.

What a great afternoon and such a better experience than that other one up the road. Our tour guide was amazing (unfortunately forgot his name) on Sunday 4/27. He led a very fun informational tour. The tasting was great and he provided some interesting insights on the different types. Had a lot of fun hanging out on the grounds afterwards on a beautiful day.

Had a nice one-on-one tour with Jake at the facility. The grounds are very nice and the distillery is well laid-out. The tour itself was informative and Jake did a good job at going through the process and highlighting what made their whiskey unique. Flight at the end was nice as well.

Nice place to visit and tour. Bobby was our tour guide and he was great! Pay for the premium Tasting room experience, and it is definitely worth the extra $$.

Such a quaint place with a beautiful story of American history. Bobby gave us a tour and walked us through the tasting. We loved this place, recommend stopping buy if your in town.

Staff were very friendly. The tour was okay, it felt like a tour of an abandoned distillery rather than an active distillery. This is largely because they aren’t actively producing any whiskey as of today, August 28th, 2025 in the distillery on site. Still a good experience and tasting room was nice.

I recently took my husband to Cascade Hollow Distilling Company for a tour and whiskey tasting since he’s a huge fan of George Dickel Whisky, and it was an incredible experience! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how clean and beautifully kept the distillery is—absolutely gorgeous. Every staff member we met was warm and welcoming, which immediately set the tone for the day. Our tour guide was both funny and incredibly knowledgeable, making the whole experience engaging while teaching us so much about the history and process behind their whiskey. The tasting itself was held in a separate room that was quiet, thoughtfully set up, and just perfect for savoring the experience. We had a wonderful time and can’t wait to come back on our next trip to Tennessee. Highly recommend visiting if you’re in the area!

Been here 1x. Our group of five very much enjoyed the single barrel experience (~$160pp) which included ~1 hour tour + taste through three 15-year barrels and one 17-year blend; afterward, pick your favorite of the three barrels and take that one home (~$80 value). Bobby did an excellent job as our tour guide: he was knowledgeable, informative and humorous (Larry the tour guide was also fun to talk to). He also knew the tasting bourbons well and let us taste through them ourselves to form our own opinions before offering his own takes—I think we all appreciated that format. Highly recommend this experience as George Dickel is an excellent bourbon.

This was a great tour. Hopefully you will get tour guide Sophie, as she is phenomenal and so entertaining. There was a lot of history provided. The tour is short, too short, but we'll worth doing at least once. Id suggest planning when the butterfly exhibit is open. There is also a beautiful trail to get in a little exercise.

We had a great time at Lost River Cave and definitely give it 5 stars! The price was very reasonable — just $24.99 for an adult ticket — and well worth it for the experience. The tour starts with a 15–20 minute walk to the cave entrance, guided by someone who shared interesting local history and fun facts along the way. Then we boarded a boat and went into the cave itself, which was such a cool and unique experience! The guide continued sharing stories and history during the ride, making it both fun and educational. After the cave tour, we explored the trails, visited the butterfly garden, and saw three of the natural blue holes on the property — all beautiful and peaceful spots. We ended our visit at the gift shop, which had a great selection and surprisingly reasonable prices. This was such a fun and different stop — perfect for all ages. Highly recommend if you’re in the Bowling Green area! Thankfully, we had purchased our tickets in advance. There was a man at the counter asking for same day, walk-up tickets and they were out, so I do highly recommend purchasing your tickets before arriving and arriving at least 30 minutes before so that you can check in and walk down to the area for the tour to begin.

The Lost River Cave tour was a fun and interesting stop on our trip. It’s definitely geared toward tourists, and while we enjoyed it, it’s more of a one-time experience—I likely wouldn’t return if we visited the area again. Our guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and shared great insights about the cave’s history and unique features. The surrounding nature area was also enjoyable to explore, and we especially loved the children’s nature scape—it was a hit! Overall, it’s a fun stop if you're nearby, but not necessarily a must-see attraction in the area.

Great trail and great scenery. I loved the cave and the river flowing through the cave, such a beauty to capture. We we got there, the river was flooded therefore we couldn't do boating. Regardless, I enjoyed, natural trails, butterfly habitat and other landscape. Our guide did good job in explaining throughout the trip.

Our guide OLIVIA was knowledgeable, fun and made the experience the best memory of our trip (so far). Make sure to sit on a bench on the trail and take in the sights and smells. The gift shop was worth a visit. L HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Attention spelunkers: Family friendly, interesting history, clean visitor center / gift shop, cave tour itself didn't take too long. Our guide, Sophie, kept us informed and entertained plus drove the boat the whole time. (Good job ma'am!) Worth a visit.

What a beautiful space! How awesome to get to go and look at God's creation and see how caves are formed.. learning history about the cave and the generosity of the man who stepped up to help clean up. It was quiet amazing not to mention our tour guide Trevor was amazing and funny ♥️♥️♥️ its totally worth everything to come here! And you will be helping a nonprofit ♥️♥️♥️

My bf is a car guy and loved it, I know nothing about cars and also loved it! We drove his corvette so he could drive on the race track. - I LOVED the sinkhole information. You can even look down into the sinkhole, and see a car all crumpled from the sinkhole. We visited mammoth cave national park on this trip, so learning about the cave region really brought it full circle. - well put together museum, it appeals to everyone. I loved the history and seeing the body changes of each generation. Fun to see the paint choices and how they choose interior/ exterior color schemes. I also enjoyed learning about the clay models and wind tunnel testing for aerodynamics. - we played on the racing simulators, fun and challenging! It’s like a vamped up arcade game with full size cars. - I was disappointed that the assembly plant was closed for tours. Still awesome museum visit though! - I collect patches and found patches in the gift shop.

We had a private group tour which far exceeded my expectations. Then we had dinner which rivaled a 5 star restaurant. Everything was so good. The simulators were exceptional, feeling like you were on a real track. Thank you for the amazing experience.

Came thur her a couple of months ago on my way to Nigeria falls and didn't stop so here we are agan. Great visit a little pricey but very cool. lots of cool cars and history of the corvettes. Put together in a timeline in history. Cool cRs for actors and famous people. Cool concept vets you probably wouldn't see anywhere else . Spent about 1 1/2 hours inthw place and seen it all. Cool gift shop and a restaurant. Cool stop very interesting. Keep up the great job. Maby knock the price down a bit but cool. Thanks a whole lot and hope to see yall agan.!!!@@@!!

Great place, displays are well done. Wish I would have taken a guided tour to learn more. Plenty of videos and plaques to read. Clean bathrooms and a nice Diner. There is a sampling of eight cars in the lobby you can see without paying before the cashier line. A Corvette library with records open weekdays only. Went through in about an hour and 45 minutes. Would spend longer watching videos in the future. I imagine the reason there aren't more variety of different vintages is that enthusiast are keeping and driving their Vettes. Gift shop has a great item, managed to escape with only a sticker. To the ladies, this place is husband/boyfriend safe. There are no Corvettes for sale or financing available.

Great experience picking up a new 2026 ZR1 Corvette at the Museum this week. Mack who oversees the PDI process probably spent an hour with us going over in detail the process his team goes through to get such special cars ready for delivery. Chris also took a lot of time with us the day prior to our appointment. Great folks everywhere at the Museum. Finally, Shane kept in constant contact with us for several weeks prior to delivery to ensure everything went off without a hitch.

All enthusiasts should visit this place. The museum highlights many of the great Corvettes produced by GM . Classics like the 1963 split window coupe as well as videos of the production of the new C8. The museum has a gift shop with corvette centered merchandise. There is also a place to grab a snack…

The Corvette museum was one of the coolest places I've been in my life. I saw some awesome cars from all generations of Corvettes, and I mean awesome in its purest sense--awe inspiring or inspiring great admiration. I met some great people. Some of them were there because they loved Corvettes. Some were there because they loved racing and recognized the Corvette's significance in that, but we were all there--together. All said, it reinforced, in my mind, the importance of teamwork, ingenuity, and the great American spirit to keep "creating rockets". It also reminded me of the incredibly great things Americans are capable of when they tirelessly and truly work together. The staff at the museum are second to none. As a Corvette owner, I've never felt more at home. I found that I was frequently reminding myself that while it was my first trip here, it was my Vette's second trip. If you like fast cars and/or Americana, the Corvette museum is must see.

Great experience in the caverns. Absolutely worth it. The twisting drive up and down the mountain was exhilarating. The guides were amazing. 10/10 would recommend.

The person who guide us thru this cave was so nice and informative. All the way to the end was incredible seeing all the formations inside the cave. Worth the walk to see this beautiful and amazing natural wonder.

Visited Ruby Falls and it was such a cool experience. You go down into the cave, walk through all the rock formations, and at the end there’s this huge underground waterfall — it’s honestly amazing to see in person. The lights make it look even more magical. The tour is easy to walk and the guides are friendly and explain a bit of the history. It’s a fun spot to visit, especially if you’ve never seen an underground waterfall before. Definitely worth it if you’re around Chattanooga!

Getting to the waterfall is such a fun adventure. The elevator ride down a solid rock shaft is interesting and at the bottom there is a waiting area in the cave where you gather to follow the tour guide through the cave to the waterfall. There was so many rock formations to see along the way that made the time go quickly. Our tour guide had an unique sense of humor and we had a great time! Worth the visit.

The first time that my wife and I had been to Ruby Falls since we were kids. We really enjoyed the tour and learning about the history of its founding.

Ruby Falls is definitely worth seeing if you are in Chattanooga. We had an amazing and enjoyable time on the tour. Going down the elevator into the mountain is cool, and the walk through the cave is fun. The best part is the waterfall! The 145-foot waterfall at the end is absolutely beautiful. When they turn on the colored lights, it looks stunning! It’s truly a special scene hidden inside the earth. If you like nature I would highly recommend coming here.

We visited Ruby Falls during our trip to Tennessee, and it was truly unforgettable. The staff was incredible ,our guide was so knowledgeable and passionate, sharing lots of interesting facts about the cave’s history and formations. The cave itself is breathtaking, and the waterfall is simply stunning ,pictures don’t do it justice! Everything was well-organized, and the whole tour felt magical from start to finish. Highly recommend visiting if you’re in the area!

Great place for families and non families alike. Loved the large tanks for the fish, they looked very clean as well. Glad to see the residents had plenty of space to swim around, compared to some other aquariums I have visited. Wonderful butterfly garden as well. I enjoyed that saltwater and freshwater exhibits were separated. Fantastic views of the Tennessee River and the Riverfront area from the aquarium. Would definitely recommend a visit here, if you're in town.

My BF took me here as a b-day surprise and it did not disappoint. The exhibits were lovely and educational. The view of the river from the different levels was spectacular. We really enjoyed ourselves, we came late in the day and it wasn't crowded which was delightful and peaceful - I recommend it!

Had such a great time at the Tennessee Aquarium! The setup and design of the buildings are beautiful — super easy to walk through and explore. There’s so much to see and learn at every turn, from the sea creatures to the interactive exhibits. Definitely a fun mix of learning and relaxing. Highly recommend checking it out if you’re in the area — I’ll let the pics do the rest of the talking! 🐠🐧🌊

This place is awesome!!! We had such a great time!! There's so much to see you could easily spend the entire day here! The only issue is parking (especially if you're disabled). We ended up having to pay to park in front of a condominium in order to have enough room for me to use my wheelchair.

My husband and I thought this was a top notch aquarium. I don’t recall visiting an aquarium with a large focus on freshwater animals. It was very interesting. The flow of the aquarium was really well done. I liked how you started at the top and just meandered to the bottom without risking missing anything. We would definitely recommend this aquarium to others. It is in a great location as well. Convenient to restaurants and hotels. We walked from our hotel, walked to lunch, and then walked back to the hotel.

We are aquarium people, and I've been here before, but my partner has not! We needed to make it a stop on our trip and we both had a blast! Every single member of staff we came across was very friendly and kind. The exhibits were beautiful and we loved seeing the variety of critters they had. I also got to pet a shark in one of the touch tanks, so yeah it was basically the best day of my life. I'm so glad I got to show him this aquarium and can't wait to go back next time we are in TN!

Great water exhibit, featuring marine mammals and lots of fish from salt and fresh water areas. There are two separate buildings and are included in the ticket price. To avoid the crowds and screeching crotch goblins, I recommend not going during the weekend or if there's any holiday vacations going on.

What a great slice of history. This walking bridge is super cool. It takes twenty minutes to go across. The walk is nice and the views are amazing. They are closing for renovation on 3/17 for two years. I’m happy I got to enjoy this beautiful bridge.

We visited the Coolidge park right across the bridge. Nice location and perfect place for evening stroll. This bridge has historical Significance and kids enjoyed learning about it. Sunset view was nice to watch.

We were touring the area and had the idea to walk across the bridge and get ice cream on the other side. Parking was $2.45 ($2 plus a service fee of 45 cents) for an hour using the ParkMobile app. We realized the bridge was temporarily closed for construction when we arrived. However, two nice locals told us that we could still walk across the Tennessee River using either of two nearby bridges: the Chief John Ross Bridge or the Veterans Memorial Bridge. The other bridges are busier and not as nice as the Walnut Street Bridge because there is a lot of car traffic, but they’re still viable alternatives if you’d like to follow a similar plan.

It's such a classic Chattanooga activity. It's a core memory of mine for so many special moments . I especially loved my sweet dates , my walks with friends , heart break crying to market Street , watching my kid get so excited to run across and terrifying me that she would get her foot stuck in one of the boards holes . I'm sad that it will be closed for two years (because Chattanooga always takes longer than they say ) but I am excited to see the improvements ... And to get rid of the board holes

The Bridge was closed for renovations when I went to Chattanooga and will be closed until next September. Despite the construction, it still was a sight to behold when looking at it from afar.

The best time to visit this historical landmark is right before sundown. Leave your car in the Coolidge Park area and enjoy a stroll across the bridge as the colors change from orange glow to glittering city lights. If you work up an appetite there are many places to eat at the end of the Market Street bridge.

Connected between downtown Chattanooga to the other side of the river, to the other part of town. A walking & biking bridge, no cars allowed on it. Great views up and down the river, and on both sides, its surrounded by beautiful parks, a ton of shops and restaurants! 🌎 We travel for a living (USA & around the globe) and love to share our experiences both here on Google maps and on our social media pages, too! Follow along our travel and adventures below! Cheers friend! Ashley & Nate from Adventure Encounters

So glad we stopped♡ This spot came highly recommended by my family who live in Tennessee. The walk down to the bottom of Falls Creek Fall is worth it. Make sure you have on good hiking shoes and take your time.

Great waterfall! If you’re feeling frisky you should take the trail down to the base of the falls. It’s labeled “strenuous “ for a reason though, it’s going to be the hardest half mile hike you will ever do! The way down is easier but you have to watch every step due to the slippery rocks. Once you get near the falls there is a rock pile that some people turn back at because it’s hard to climb. But once you’re over it you’ll see flat trails the rest of the way to the falls. Well worth it to go to the end! Hike back uphill is hard but honestly less dangerous because it’s easier to see where you’re stepping. I’m recommending you pick up some beer and keep it in the car on ice, you’ll thank me for the tip!

Fall Creek Falls is absolutely stunning! The main waterfall is breathtaking, and the views from both the top and base are worth every step. The trail down is marked strenuous, but it felt just right , manageable and fun. The water was a bit cold, but refreshing, and my daughter loved every moment of it. Perfect for families who enjoy nature, hiking, and a little adventure. Be sure to bring good shoes, and don’t forget your camera. The scenery is incredible! Definitely one of the best spots we’ve visited here in Tennessee.

Awesome waterfalls, views from the platform are amazing but if you are able to go to the bottom of the fall you will be awarded with spectacular views and experience. Hike is strenuous and steep on the way back.

👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍 It doesn’t get much better than this place. What an amazing state park. This is our first visit to a Tennessee State Park and the bar has now been set high. The grounds are amazing and the hiking is PERFECT. We did two days of hiking and saw all the falls. They are BEAUTIFUL!!! There is so much to do here from hiking to eating to shopping and much more. Felt very welcome and taken care of. Will definitely be back in the future. Thanks again Fall Creek Falls State Park and Tennessee for the great memories and experience. 5 STARS ALL THE WAY. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great waterfall with an amazing 270 foot drop. You can hike around the rim which is easy or take the strenuous hike down to the base of the falls. That hike is tough but worth it, I did it at age 57 and made it so quit crying and just do it! Base of the falls is worth seeing, you’ll need decent shoes because the rocks are slippery. You’ll have sore legs the next day but you’ll be glad you did the hike down.

I ran the Falls Creek Falls 50K trail race here a few years ago and it's really a beautiful state park. The trails were great. Wonderful waterfalls and cabins on the lake with great views.

We did the middle Ocoee Trip. We had a group of 8 people in two boats. Our guides, Ace and Cullen, were awesome. This is a highly recommended activity. I strongly suggest going with this company. From Registration, training session, bus ride and the whitewater experience, it was GREAT.

Melody answered the phone when I called for the reservation and each time after, she was extremely kind and informative! Our raft guide was Henry, I PROMISE YOU HES THE BEST GUIDE THERE. He knew the river well and did extremely cool tricks with the raft. He was also very funny and personable which added even more to the experience. While I almost felt like I would died a couple of times Henry kept us very aware of when to do what, so even with our crazy tricks none of us fell out at all.

This was my first time whitewater rafting, and I can 100% say that I loved it! The staff there were super welcoming and friendly, and they all had a light-hearted, upbeat attitude, and definitely made the whole experience that much better! After a scenic drive to the dam where the rafting starts, we met our guide and learned our commands, and this began our trip down the river. I won't spoil the trip, because I definitely think you should do it yourself, but just know that it is definitely worth it. Also, quick shout out to some of our guides, TC Lee, Jack, and Hannah!

My thirteen year old son described this as “one of the best experiences of his life”. We decided to do a father son rafting trip after finding a heck of a deal on Groupon. We arrived at 10:30 for the 11am middle river trip. The facility was clean and organized and the staff was super friendly. You can leave your keys and phone with them, which felt safe. There were clear instructions on how to be safe on the water and were separated into groups. The drive on the bus was fun and the time it took to get unloaded and on the river was impressive. These guys run a well oiled machine. The trip itself was so much fun and I won’t review it so that I don’t take away some of the adventure. It was safe, a good amount of time, and worth every penny. You will get wet, like within the first two minutes. I also highly recommend leaving your phone, camera and anything else valuable back at the lodge or in your car. It’s very clear within few minutes that there’s a good possibility you’ll be swimming. A photographer will get some great photos that you can purchase at the end of your trip. Do yourself a favor and, buy the photos. This trip will be something my son and I talk about the rest of our lives. We’ve even decided to make this a yearly trip and we can’t thank the folks at High Country Adventures for the wonderful experience. Shout out to our guide Ricky, thanks for pulling me back in my friend!

I had the most incredible time white water rafting. We had a big group & some were rafting for the first time (naturally apprehensive). TC Lee was our instructor & he did an amazing job from start to finish. He was funny, engaging, & super safety conscious while giving us a ton of thrills! Im looking forward to next year!!!

We took a family of five and had a fantastic experience on the middle part of the river. Sydney was our guide and we could not have asked for a better person to take us down the River. She was kind, respectful, and extremely knowledgeable. I trusted her to keep our family safe, but also to give us a great time together.

This is our 4th time with High Country. The place is top-notch. The guides are always excellent. White-water fun at its fullest. We did the middle Ocoee class IV. Our two daughters ages 12 and 14 went down this river for the first time, Mr. Pink made sure to keep us safe and kept the fun rolling. We will be back agian! Our daughters haven't stopped talking about how much fun they had. They are ready for some Class Five with Pink!

We had an incredible time white water rafting, and Josh made the entire experience unforgettable! His energy was amazing from start to finish—super fun, professional, and clearly experienced. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does, and it made all the difference. Josh kept our group safe while still making it a thrilling adventure. He explained everything clearly, gave us confidence on the water, and kept the vibes high the entire trip. He truly represents the company in the best way possible. If you're booking a rafting trip, ask for Josh—you won’t regret it. Highly recommend!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! We had the wonderful Jon Hall as our guide. He made sure we were very well taken care of and safe as we went down the Ocoee. He was very informative about the local fauna, landforms, and rafting skills. Jon also made sure that my friends knew EXACTLY what to do on the raft (I was the only one in my group who's been rafting before) and made the three hour long experience feel like 45 minutes with how much we were talking and joking. The staff as base camp were also VERY friendly and helpful.

Such a GREAT and FUN adventure. The staff here are so kind and high spirited. They were all so hype and super kind. A big shout out to our boat guide, Ken. He definitely made the experience 10x more entertaining and enjoyable. He took us to the fun parts of the water and made sure we got some good splashes. He offered to let us “ride the bull” and experience a fall off the boat experience on purpose. Great time for sure. Thanks to all the staff and Ken!

We had a great time rafting on the Ocoee River today with Outdoor Adventure Rafting! Our guide was John who led us on a full river rafting trip. He was an excellent guide! The tour guide gave us detailed descriptions of all of the rapids as we approached them and he gave us the choice of how difficult we wanted it to be. So he could adjust the boat to soak us or just easily pop over the rapids. He did a bunch of different things like spinning us in the boat, and showed us many different ways to handle the rapids. He did a good job building trust from the start of the trip and paid attention to each member of our party to make sure they were okay and having a good time. He clearly had the whole river memorized and expertly handled every aspect of the trip. Since we did the full river trip it included a lunch break which was great. There is not room on the boat for water bottles or anything and they would fall out if you did bring them. Since the lunch includes water and other drinks staying hydrated wasn't an issue. Highly recommend and I would do it again!

Amazing adventure! This is the second time we have been white water rafting! Our tour guide Phillip was class 5 amazing! He was knowledgeable but also great with keeping spirits up and building the bond between the boat. This company does well to create a fun and friendly environment while also ensuring all safety is a priority. We will be back and ready to take on the Olympia again! We loved the full day adventure!

I could not have had a more perfect first time rafting experience. Guide Jon Hall provided a perfect blend of humor to ease our nerves and professionalism so we understood our safety is first priority. He took great care with briefings and instructions and kept us entertained from the moment we met him. He created a magic and thrilling experience with intentional peaks and valleys. The campus was clean and organized and the staff was friendly and helpful. I am excited to book another trip!

Don’t even search for any other rafting companies on the Ocoee because OAR is hands down the best!!! Our guide was Wesley and he was great! We were always provided thorough instructions on safety and communication and they gave us ample opportunities to go for more difficult routes and what to expect. The facilities at the outpost were also clean and the staff onsite was so friendly and inviting. You could tell that all of the guides had a special bond and all enjoyed working with each other. We did the full (upper and middle section) and it did not disappoint. I will absolutely be returning soon and will request Wesley as my tour guide. Thank you OAR for an amazing first time rafting!

RaftOne went Above and Beyond with our experience! They took us Jumping off Rocks on to a Slide, we jumped into The Cats Pajamas Rapid which is 7 different currents converging into one that shoots you down the river - absolutely exhilarating! They also took us on a quick hike to a waterfall midway thru the trip which was beautiful! JB our guide was so friendly and knowledgeable he made this one of the best experiences hands down! Thanks to JB and the whole RaftOne Family! You Guys are the best! -Sacha

We had an awesome time rafting with RaftOne! Our guide Kaleb did an incredible job making our kids’ first rafting trip safe, fun, and exciting. He kept the whole family entertained and educated us about the river while giving us confidence on the water. We did the upper and middle sections and they did not disappoint. The lunch provided was great, and the facilities were clean and well-kept. Highly recommend RaftOne—and especially Kaleb—for an unforgettable adventure!

This was our second time coming here. We did the full rafting (upper and middle) package. Our guide Kitten was amazing! He was very knowledgeable about the area. We had a history lesson and rafting lesson in the form of a stand up comedy. There are a lot of places around that will take you rafting, but I promise you if you want to have a blast, chose Raft1!!! These folks are super passionate about what they do, and they all are hilarious. That’s what sets them above the rest.

Our family had a phenomenal time with Kaity and Sierra as our guides. They were great and made it extra fun for our son and daughter who truly loved it! The course was very fun and ended in a family race. Would recommend this activity for some Great memories. We enjoyed the morning slot before it heated up.

Had an absolute blast! This was my first time rafting. Caleb was our guide and he is a really nice person and also very knowledgeable. We had so much fun! Thanks Caleb, we really enjoyed our time. You're awesome!

Our family had a fantastic experience rafting the middle Ocoee river with Raft1. The number of rafters in our time slot was small (4 rafts), making the experience more personal. Our guide, Toast, tailored the experience to our level of adventure (high adventure) which we appreciated greatly! The guides added some additional activities along the way to include a water slide and waterfall hike mid trip, again adding to the unique experience that sets Raft1 apart from the other companies. Its outpost location is just upriver from the put-in making the shuttle ride brief. The souvenir t-shirt selection and Canopy Cafe provided quality options; the pizza was very tasty and made to order post-trip. I highly recommend using Raft1 for your Ocoee Rafting adventure.

Had a great time! Our guides Sage and Taylor were pros and talked us through the process to make sure we had it. Someone in our group got overwhelmed half way through and didn’t want to continue, and they were easily able to go back to the lookout and watch us. The only difference between this and other zip line places is that here you have to use your hand to stop yourself on these lines. It’s also not crazy high off of the ground for less adventurous people. 8/10 would recommend

Absolutely loved Mercier Orchards! It’s a beautiful and wonderful family friendly Orchard. The store was stocked with so many things and it included their bakery! The baked goods and apple cider were amazing! I also loved the option to pick your own apples! Such a neat experience!

Mercier Orchards is a beautiful place. It is apple festival time of year in October so it was extremely busy and crowded, but it didn't stop me from getting their apple cider donuts, apple butter, and apple taffy. It was all worth it! Those donuts are delicious with some apple butter on top. It's a must stop to enjoy the scenery!

My husband and I visited Mericer Orchard for the first time and it is a must do in the area! We explored the shop which is very neat with lots to offer. We then got some goodies from the bakery including some of their hand pies, muffin, and apple fritter. All of these were delicious and if you visit you absolutely need to check out the bakery. We then went on a tractor tour and our tour guide was super kind and knowledgeable. You can get some really neat views from this tour. We ended our visit with some wine and cider tasting. If you enjoy hard cider, this is another thing you shouldn't miss! They offer and sell many delicious ciders. We will be back when in the area again.

Very crowded orchard! The parking situation was kind of a mess. We paid $30 for 2 of us to go apple picking which I didn’t think was bad. We went to an orchard last year in Elijay and it was way more expensive so we didn’t end up going apple picking. I will say the orchard was pretty heavily picked through but we still left with so many apples! The experience was fun and we enjoyed some apples as we walked through the trees. We stopped in the store and got a donut and a fried pie before hand. Total chaos in the store. I feel like they need a better set up for getting people through the store. The line for the bakery was so long and was kind of frustrating when we couldn’t pay there. My husband enjoyed his fried pie and my donut was pretty good but I felt lacked the apple cider flavor. The apple cider itself was really good! My husband got a sparkling cider too which was really good! Overall I would come back to this orchard.

Beautiful orchards & fun experience picking apples. The store is huge with lots of variety, but we went during (apparently) peak season and it was PACKED. Would have loved to have been able to walk around the store and shop but the crowd was intense. Lines moved decently fast but wrapped into multiple rooms. Definitely a beautiful spot and would love to visit again in the spring!

🍎 A must-stop gem in Blue Ridge! Mercier Orchards is the perfect blend of charm, flavor, and fun. From the dining area, there’s a large viewing window where you can peek into the warehouse and watch the behind-the-scenes action—such a cool touch that adds to the experience. The small candy shop is nostalgic and sweet, while the bakery serves up piping hot apple pie with a scoop of ice cream that’s absolutely worth the trip alone. The main store is impressively stocked with local ciders, jams, wines, toys, and—of course—plenty of fresh-picked apples by the bag. Whether you’re shopping, snacking, or just soaking in the mountain vibes, Mercier Orchard delivers a wholesome, family-friendly outing.

Had a wonderful time here. Fried pies were yummy and their ciders were delicious. I didn’t even like ciders. Wish we would’ve been able to bring more home on our flight. Employees were nice and helpful and we were able to do the apple picking tour which was new to us.

This is a 'cute' building. It feels very inviting to enter, and all of the staff are very pleasant. It's clean and has a lot of nice things to buy. The cave itself is nice and the underground lake is absolutely gorgeous and the highlight of the place. That being said, our guide walked very fast and that did put somewhat of a damper on our enjoyment of the tour. Also, we were not expecting how much walking uphill there was so if that is a problem for you, you may want to reconsider visiting this cave.

Neat adventure with good staff! Maddox was my tour guide, he could do commercials, but Logan was boat tour guide. Both of them were well versed and able to add some jokes in for fun. Good job guys! Gift shop staff were friendly and helpful as well. Pics not same as in person! Appreciate overall experience 🌻

This. Was. Incredible. A huge shout out to Lillian for guiding us and teaching us all about this amazing chunk of history!! The cave was walkable and areas to sit if you need to. The hardest part was walking back up the steeper incline from the boat ride - but it was so worth it!! So very interesting to learn about the history and the think that people discovered that and explored it before it was made walkable and safer, with nothing but an oil lamp!!

This is literally a hidden treasure. It was about a 2 hour drive for us, but really glad we went. It was very crowded so glad we had purchased our tickets online. Our guide was very knowledgeable, but a fast talker. It is definitely a hike and you are warned when purchasing tickets and the hike to the lake was a lot. I have knee problems and definitely felt it after, but so glad I made it. The boat ride in the lake was really cool. Definitely worth the ride to Saltwater, Tennessee.

Super cool place to visit. Everyone should experience this once in their lifetime. The guide told us some very interesting stories about the caves history. Be prepared for an uphill walk back out of the cave. This place is well kept and very historical. You should check out this place and check it off you bucket list!

While planning my trip using ChatGPT, this gem was suggested as one of our stopping points. I didn’t see a lot of roadside signs on the interstate or even in town (which is a destination must), so I’m so glad it was recommended. The whole experience was amazing. Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and provided great insight to the history of the cave and lake. The check-in host took the time to ensure that each guest was physically capable for the walking tour as it was steep, slippery, uneven and at times, strenuous. We are two ladies between 60-90 years old so we took our time and easily managed the terrain. We thoroughly enjoyed it! We went in the off season and it was still really busy, so recommendations are highly suggested.

If youve never experienced a cave experience. This is it. If you have curly to wavy hair and you plan on straightening it that day, dont. Lol its humid in the cave. It's a mixture of cool air and humidity. But the experience alone is really neat. They also have other places to explore. They have a blown glass shop, a general store, and a little gift shop. Looks like they may be putting in a restaurant.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cumberland Falls SRP. Nice historic lodge with all modern amenities. Very clean room but the queen room was little small. Comfortable bed. Very quiet easy sleeping room. The lunch buffet was good, the dinner buffet was great, restaurant staff most excellent hospitality. The only option continental breakfast was sad for those that enjoy a hearty breakfast. Great location near the gorgeous waterfall. Easy parking.

The park is gorgeous! Love that there are paved trails so a wheelchair, stroller, walker, etc are able to go down the path to see the falls and river. The park was VERY busy. We arrived on a Friday around noon. The main parking lot was full so we crossed the bridge to a pull-off parking lot. There was a trail head that took us to the opposite side of the river! Perfect! We got to see the falls, took a strenuous hike to another waterfall, and there were few people. This trail is not paved and is a level 8 out of 10 for difficulty. LOVED it!

One of the best places to go when I want to just get away. The falls are amazing. There's easy access for those who can walk flat surfaces. There are trails and stairs for those who want to put in a little more effort. There's a small beach area at the for of the falls where pet owners take their dogs to play in the water. It's amazing!!

Rooms were clean but dated furniture and furnishings. Bathrooms need remodeling, no towel hanger or hooks on bathroom door for hanging clothes or towels. No labels on soap, shampoo or conditioner dispenser in shower and no soap on sink. Check in was great! Lodge is beautifully decorated for Fall. Beautiful view on outside patio!

The cabin, which is a duplex is just the bare minimum. It worked for us. We couldve used some heat or an extra blanket. Had a good night's sleep and coffee in the morning. Thats all we needed. You have to drive into Corbin to get food if the restaurant isn't open, which was our case. We got take out and ate at the falls. There were hardly any people there. It was lovely.

This place was Exquisite and amazing...absolutely BREATHTAKING!! And the prices were fantastic for a luxurious place as this is!! You can't beat it. Trails all around, that you can walk on and see breathtaking views!! Would recommend this place to anyone that enjoys this type of thing... You won't regret it.!!!

Waterfall and adjoining trails are excellent! Campground is small, mostly for tent camping. Our trailer is only 17 feet, so we fit, but ones much bigger would not. Got to see the moon bow and I can honestly say the views from the trail during the day were more impressive.

My first time at a casino! The beginners luck was pretty sweet. We got a few drinks at Brew Brothers while waiting for check in. They were good for sure. We enjoyed playing the slots and it wasn't too crowded. Ramsay's Kitchen upstairs is absolutely amazing if just for the experiences alone. Make sure to make a reservation and be mindful of the time. Make sure the sun is still up so you can enjoy the view. Staff was welcoming and friendly. Rooms were clean and had pretty views. No complaints here!

MOLD - Terrible customer service. Don’t stay here. When I brought the mold videos down to the front desk to get their opinion chelsea told me that the grout turns darker when it’s wet. After explaining to her that it makes no sense I spoke to the hotel manager Roger Hawkins who also told me that they knew some of the rooms had mold but that they were tested and it’s not an issue. I asked for a copy of the report and I was told it’s not available for guests to see. When I asked what year the rooms were tested I was told that they didn’t know the year it was tested. Funny I took that video on the slot floor and talked to the slot manager alan and he didn’t seem to care or want to help. I showed it to Cee in the players desk and they also didn’t seem to care and told me to talk to the front desk. I told Roger the hotel manager that my throat was a little sore after sleeping in that room for a couple of days. His response was should I call you an EMT. I asked Roger when was the last time he was in the elevators as they were dirty, moldy and smelled. He said the elevators are not his department and he doesn’t go in them but I can speak to housekeeping. I reminded him that every guest that he’s in charge of leaves the front desk and rides those elevators. In fact guests I rode with all made comments about the mold and smell. Roger didn’t care. No service at the bar in the sports book. Sat on the backside of the bar to view the TV’s and was completely ignored by two bartenders for about 30 min. I was playing video poker, watching the games and waiting for service. Of course I watched at least 10 other customer not getting served and they walked away like I did. There’s so much more but I’m tired of typing. Overall I will NEVER stay here again.

First time visitor, overall enjoyable experience. Trenton was the first employee we met. He was the bell hop baggage person we had for check in and check out. Wonderfully nice young man, very professional and polite. We really enjoyed the Brew Bros bar drinks, the food all looked and smelled great, we ate the breakfast one day. Breakfast was very nice. Sunshine, Kimmie, and Dewayne were all very attentive and friendly. Could have easily spent all my time there. Service in the Sport Book Bar was touch and go, depending on which server was there. I thought Wilma was a tad abrupt and chose to get my drinks from the other bar in the casino. Really enjoyed talking with Jaimi. We got our drinks from her the rest of the time. That casino bar had cool decor and lighting and comfortable seating. The non smoking casino is very clean and has fresh cool air pumping throughout. The area was cleaned up regularly and promptly. Lots of games to choose from and not too big you can't find your friends when they wander to other machines or tables. We had lots of fun playing and drinking. The outdoor smoking area was close by and protected from rain, with outdoor heaters, although a bit cramped and small. There's another smoking area up the escalators, across a small lobby and out the door. That one wasn't as crowded, just slightly farther away, much more spacious, with a beautiful view and small walking path with a small waterfall. Both Panda Express and Moe's were very good, and Starbucks as well. The arcade doesn't have skeeball, I'm not much of a gambler, so I was hoping they would. I did go to the bowling alley, and it was very nice. Sixteen lanes, and a few pool tables. The rooms were clean and we didn't have any mold issues and neither did our friends in two different rooms. No bathtub, but a large shower with very nice shampoo conditioner 2 in 1 and body wash. Comfortable beds. If you read all that, I hope you have a great time and win big!

Hotel wise, the property is on the overpriced side of things in my opinion. There are much cheaper options in town. The beds aren't the best we have experienced from other properties, but they are ok for 1 - 3 nights. Getting a comp stay obviously makes the value immensely better. If they are free the rooms are great. So stay when it doesn't cost you anything. The real attraction for us is the casino anyhow. We love that it's smoke free. Whole we don't see every game that people pay on YouTube there, it's still a pretty great selection that has something for everyone. That's probably why they keep offering us free rooms LOLz. If you're just coming for the casino, then I highly recommend it. We drive up from Atlanta about once a month to play here. Sometimes just for the day, other times for a couple days at a time. Always fun for us.

First time back since the expansion and very impressed. Our room was a king In the new Valley Tower. Loved the easy access to the parking deck and straight down to the Casino. The slots were paying well and the staff was amazing. Excellent as always Brew Brothers food.

Absolutely terrible casino security should be fired, I flew in from Michigan with my STATE ID too Atlanta, drove with my family for an hour from a little small town but once I’m here I can’t be on the casino game floor because I’m not the age of 31 and my STATE ID didn’t work that’s what the main security guard said. Now that is completely bs because every state law is 21. So I googled what’s the age of consent in North Carolina for gambling, funny enough it’s 21 what a surprise. So I ended up calling the help desk told them what’s going on we talk for a little, then she hands me off to the main security guard I just talked too inside. I told him what’s going on then he proceeded to tell me I can’t gamble unless I have an actual driver license not an STATE ID and he didn’t bring up anything about being 31. So please be professional look at all the pictures and tell me where does it say I need a driver license or I need to be the age of 31. Not in one single picture does it say I need an actual drivers licenses not STATE ID nor do I gotta be the age of 31. Walking in the casino said must be 21 and up didn’t say anything about drivers license or age. Please update your casino page because this is completely bs and I can see why yall didn’t get the approval from the 4th casino the staff is built of lies, now with that said please update the website and get new security guards

They won't let you have your own cup for ice water, well they will one day but not the next so they aren't consistent at the casino part. The rooms were clean and spacious, plenty of towels and pillows. Beds were very comfortable. Staff taking our bags up and back down were great, very friendly and helpful! Will visit again!

Wonderful experience, despite the dreary weather on the day we came. Animals seem very happy and well cared for. All Zoo staff were extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I brought my camera and snagged a few good photos. ❤️ Can't wait to go back!

One of the best zoos in the area, I volunteered there years ago as a kid and this year returned for the first time in decades. The changes were mindblowingly amazing and gorgeous. I loved seeing the old portion of the zoo turned into a playground and petting zoo. When you go make sure you don’t miss the animal encounters they are breathtaking and informative.

Very impressed with this zoo. The animals had amazing and large habitats and are very happy and well taken care of. I wish we had gotten in earlier in the day to spend more time there. Also, there are many little cafes to get food or a snack. Just a beautiful zoo!

Oh wow! We had an amazing experience at Zoo Knoxville! Great zoo, with friendly staff, and neat experiences!! I was able to feed a giraffe, a tortoise, and some budgies all in the same day! (I will be able to die happy now). The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable about the animals. The enclosures seemed clean and there were enrichment items for the animals in many of them. Lots of great plaques with information about the animals. 10/10 recommendation from me for a fun experience in Knoxville!

We had a BLAST exploring the extremely well kept grounds at Knoxville Zoo! The artistic design and clear views of animals had us settle on leaving with a membership. We can’t wait to put into good use and are looking forward on being back for the new immersive experience opening soon! Thanks for making sure family fun days are done up RIGHT, Knoxville Zoo!

My son and I spent multiple days at the zoo and we did the VIP Rhino Experience, which was absolutely worth the money!, and enjoyed every minute we were there. We had the opportunity to interact with multiple staff that worked at the zoo and had such great conversations with them. We also did the Tortoise Feeding which again was well worth the money and the staff there was so knowledgeable about each of the tortoises from the tiny ones to Tex to those “visiting” while there enclosure is being worked on at their zoo. The staff at the Rhino Experience was not only knowledgeable, but had great personalities, as did the rhinos! Ranger and his brother Mylo were very gracious to let us interact with them and thank you Ranger for letting us pet/ love on you! There was so many great people that we met that were also visiting the zoo and happy to share facts back and forth with my son and I. We hope to be back at some point this year (we are from Florida). Thank you all for making the trip wonderful! We visited on both the weekdays and on Saturday.

We planned our trip for the first week of April, probably not the best time to visit. Lots of animals missing and several construction projects ongoing. In my opinion, the zoo could use some upgrades, so the construction is understandable. Altgough more transparency would be nice. It would have been respectable for the website to explain what to expect during this time. This zoo is also lacking many of the bigger animals that you are expecting to see. I am from Indianapolis and the zoo there is truly amazing, maybe my expectations were too high. On a brighter note Ashley was amazing!! She took the time to talk with us about our disappointing experience. She also explained about some of the upgrades and new animals coming. I am excited to see this. Planning a return trip in the fall!
