Top 49 things to do and attractions in Knoxville

What a beautiful clean , well maintained Nature Center! There is something for all ages and walking levels . Also, there is Meads Quarry , a great swimming hole ! The Center offers many day events and classes. Check the monthly calendar on their website. The staff/employees are fantastic! Very kind and helpful. We just moved to TN and this is our favorite place!

Pay for parking via QR code where signs are everywhere - price is reasonable. We did the river loop trail using our All Trails map as the signage is not the best. Conditions excellent, great shade and enjoyed the two sections of boardwalk.

First comer, and it was a fantastic time. I did multiple trails, including both the river boardwalk, and the quarry Trace hike. Wish I knew you could go swimming in the quarry; will make sure to do that next time around. Definitely recommend.

Leo and I love coming here to hike and watch the wildlife. We're here at least 3 days a week so the parking pass is definitely worth it 😁 There is always something to see... Beautiful place!

A beautiful gem hidden away on the outskirts of knoxville! It’s an awesome place to get out to and explore with the family. Places for biking, hiking, walking, swimming etc. they have frog ponds, hiking trails, animal exhibits and much more. There is even a place to let the family walk along the rope climbs and use the zipline

Our party of 4 adults took the Beginner Survivalist class (and built an awesome debris shelter) with Kat and Madeline who were both fantastic instructors. We all learned something new with varied levels of outdoor experience and enjoyed meeting new people who also love all things nature. Would highly recommend the classes at Ijams to anyone in the area!

The employees are nice and very helpful.they had arts and craft event going on outside where you make bookmarks from the sun, we took the river trail bordwalk it was a beautiful scenery.A nice little walk on a sunday afternoon. After we got done, we put our feet in the water in the quarry.

Just 10 dollars and incredible views of beautiful Knoxville and the smoky mountains. There are artefacts in the dome from the World’s Fair 1982 which are really nostalgic (for a kid born in the 80s) and the structure is surrounded by a nice park.

Fun day in Knoxville and we had to go up the Sunsphere! We hunted for the hidden Jacko lanterns while in the observation deck. All employees were kind and helpful with any questions. $10 to go up but it goes to preserve this structure too.

Since there is not a lot to do in downtown Knoxville, we made a stop at the Sunsphere since it is a defining part of the area. The tickets to get to the observation deck were $10 per person which I think is certainly not worth it. I think $5 would be reasonable if they needed to charge something, but honestly they should've just kept it as a free attraction. The views when you get to the top are fine but nothing crazy. Looks like the updated the deck to include more infographics about the 1982 World's Fair and some other information about Knoxville and the surrounding area. Cool spot unique to this area, but not worth the $10.

Great place to explore the city from up high! 1982 memorabilia everywhere! $10 to get in and 10 minutes until kids are bored so think about your return on that investment but it's fun to experience.

Although a short tour, the experience is great! You get to see a panoramic view of the city of Chattanooga and learn about the history of the Sunsphere and the World Fair. There are some interesting facts about pop culture during 1982.

You can see a panoramic of Knoxville. This was built in 1982 for the world's fair. The only other landmark that was built that still stands is the Tennessee theater. It's worth a visit

Great view and not expensive, but hard to find free parking. I probably wouldn't do it again, but it's nice to do it once. Then walk down to Market Square to make it worth it.

Cool local museum! It was in the heart of Knoxville, very close, walkable and navigable! They have arts from local artists and all over the world. The museum is free which is nice. They have some cool concepts about modern arts as well as classic arts! I highly recommend!

I’ve took my kids here for years and they are both all grown up now and we decided to come here on my son’s 23rd birthday and spend some time! It was awesome as usual! beautiful art and staff is all so friendly! Brought back alot of nostalgia from when my kids were little! It’s free to go in and enjoy! They have a little gift shop upstairs that has all kinds of stuff from art to little trinkets for the kids! Something for everyone!

I’m glad to see places like this being free as I believe it helps visitors to get an idea about history and culture of the city. Staff were super kind and friendly, and their shop area is full of handmade items. Parking is also free.

An amazing collection of art !! And it's free !! Easy access parking. Many different styles of art 🎨 to experience. Plus, a Children's area that is fun and vibrant. This is truly a rare gem . A must .

The gallery was very nice inside. However, some of what is considered "art" nowadays looks more like something my grandkids would create with their fingers and condiments from their lunch. I found much of it completely mind-numbing and uninspiring. The one photo I posted was one of maybe three things in the entire gallery worth looking at.

The Knoxville Museum of Art was a very enjoyable visit. It is a smaller museum, but absolutely worth the trip even if you are driving from far away. The welcome desk and gift shop staff were very friendly and made the visit even better. The gift shop was excellent, with a wide range of items from local artists as well as well known brands. Parking was easy, and the museum’s location in the city is convenient and beautiful.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff, very family friendly. Has the best view of the Sunsphere.

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!

Took a walk with my daughter through the visitors center to get the history of Knoxville Botanical Gardens and Arboretum before following along with the paper guided map tour of their grounds. It's a beautiful relaxing walk! Took about an hour. Be mindful when you visit not to just view the side of the gardens that are in the area on the side of the street where you park. The grounds behind and to the left of the visitor center are beautiful and missed by many. 😞 My mindset of the experience... "Where art meets nature". 😁

This was a nice surprise. The nature trail was enjoyable. The architecture definitely is a major draw. Some really cool areas to walk through. My kids felt parts reminded them of the abandoned buildings in Jurassic Park but honestly I thought that added to the aesthetic. This definitely isn't a slam-packed nature trail. We did everything possible in about 1 and half hours taking it slowly. That being said, I would recommend checking them out. I will say I do not envy the employees. They clearly do not have a lot of staff which is understandable. My kids also really liked the bamboo Forest. Certainly not something you expect to see in East Tennessee, but it was all around pretty groovy.

I’ve been taking my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter to Story Thyme on Tuesday mornings and she loves it! The children can plant, water and harvest vegetables from a raised bed garden on the grounds. There is usually an activities for them and also fantastically muddy “mud” kitchen with scoops, pans, tins, etc. to fuel their imagination! They also have sprinklers for them to run through to cool off from the heat! Such a wonderful free activity for kids!

It was hard to find the gardens but once they were found it was a very beautiful experience. Well kept and lots to see. Many of the buildings looked abandon but it added to the ambiance. Stayed for sunset and it was an incredible view.

What a great greenspace. Visitor center was warm and welcoming, explaining the history of the house and grounds. Gift shop had many unique items. Walking paths are well maintained and plenty of seating along the way for those needing a rest. Well worth a stop and visit!

I really enjoyed the bamboo forest and the secret garden. Otherwise, not a lot to see. We enjoyed the UT gardens so much more! They have stunning flowers blooming .

This is probably the 30th garden area we have visited outside our area. Minor things when the map is not close, things change over time. Garden layout was without and directions just randomly wander around. I enjoyed the warning sign on the path "don't leave anything of value in your vehicle". They have a garden society, many people would love to help improve... just ask.

This venue is beautiful! We went for a comedy show (Matt Matthews - September 2025 ) and it was phenomenal. I would recommend visiting this beautiful place at least once.

This place is absolutely gorgeous!! Well maintained and very clean and comfortable. The balcony is the perfect spot for seeing everything. The bathroom on the balcony is always clean. The staff is always friendly and welcoming to help you to your seat. It is a great experience from the time you get there to the time you leave. We have seen several shows there. Diana Krall last year and just three days ago Saint Paul and the broken bones after we got married Saturday we were there for our honeymoon. The atmosphere is amazing! We will be back and I recommend if you get a chance to go Do Not pass it up!!!

I had the privilege of seeing Jay White perform his tribute to Neil Diamond. This guy is fantastic! The show was lively and interactive. Jay got the crowd involved with the music. He gave an excellent impersonation of Neil Diamond. The musicians were highly talented. The theater was beautiful as usual and the employees were outstanding.

We went to see Rick Springfield and Richard Marx on Oct 8th. Great concert and beautiful building. Acoustics were incredible and great seats! I would come see any artist there!

The Tennessee Theatre is a jewel box of elegance, its fancy interior and timeless artistry made our visit feel like stepping into a golden age. The staff were nice and attentive, adding to the sense of occasion. This place would transform an anniversary or birthday into a memory worth savoring. For the full experience, I'd recommend opera glasses. Because here, everything deserves to be admired. +<Look all sophisticated with binoculars on a stick!>

So very beautiful! I work at different venues and I was not disappointed at all! 💯

I love this venue. It has a nostalgic feel as soon as the building is in your line if site. A little tight when it comes to seating, however I feel that it is part of the history.

What a gorgeous park! Highly recommend taking the time and exploring! The tower itself was a fun way to see the city from up high. Has a lot of 1982 memorabilia from its opening. $10 to get in. Kids will be bored in 10 minutes so be mindful of that. The outdoor theater must be amazing during a show!

Enjoyed a wonderful time with lady friend. There's a huge lawn area, artistic bridge murals, restrooms nearby and clean, playground area. The Square is easily within walking distance. I recommend going during the summer to enjoy everything the most. I was here today for business purposes and pleasure. I had to shoot some photography and video. The sky was mostly grey. But my photo assistant and I enjoyed the time there and spent a few hours just enjoying the sights and sounds. We loved the walk and plan to go back again this summer just for fun.

A really nice area for the whole family! The Sunsphere decorates the park with its amazing golden globe. The pavilion with the water in front of it is beautiful. The art under the bridge is great. The playground and splash pad por children are great to have your children have fun. And the location is perfect!

First time to kahuna festival. Try some wings from close to 30 vendors. They have activities for kids, but the fireworks WOW!!! Definitely even worth the $12 to see the 15-20 min display. That sold the wife and I we'll be returning for years to come

Even after 43 years, the amphitheater still holds up. The rest of the park is very pleasant, and the water feature is great for the kids. Playing near the legendary Sunsphere is a nice visual treat, too.

This is an interesting area to explore and learn about some of Knoxville's history. They have a nice veteran's memorial down there and some unique buildings. You can get some fantastic views of downtown Knox as well. With that being said, the city could really do some work on their efforts to spruce the place up. The park has a lot of potential, especially the "water feature". But it seems as if the water has been left to become stagnant and collect trash. Maybe it is just because the fountains are off for the winter months. I enjoyed checking it out, but would be somewhat embarrassed to bring out of town visitors.

Such a pretty place to relax or being the kids . The fourth of July event is pretty neat could use more activities for older kids and could use more vendors

Free visit and parking, a fun way to kill 30 minutes and look at some very unique items. I went during the week and got my tickets online in advance. This was a completely free experience and only a hand full of people were there. A few cool things to look at, I would maybe come back when they rotate to another collection.

Pretty small but fairly good museum. The only draw back is that they do have classes in the building.

A lovely place to walk through and enjoy displays of natural and cultural history. Although a small collection, great care has been taken on the research, display, and cultural/scientific significance. I enjoyed the castings provided in context to the exhibit, such as the Venus in the human evolution room. I agree it is important to return culturally significant pieces to their origin if requested. I appreciated the collection mentioning this. Little kids may breeze through these exhibits and it seems more interactive spaces may be coming. I also enjoy being able to interact with exhibits and hope they can achieve that. I noticed and appreciated their "creative space" for children to contribute to the art there. For their size and purpose I think this is a great spot. If you're in the mood to go and learn something, this is a fantastic space.

It's a small but pleasant museum. It's quiet, and there are almost no people, so you can explore the exhibits in peace. The museum is free!

It's ok if you want to get out of the house for an hour or so. Lots of empty spaces. Not much to see, but a good effort. 3 year old wanted to see dinosaurs. After the family making more or of what was there to excite him he was happy. 11 year old found a few thing interesting but overall was just polite about the trip. I like anything history and thought it was just ok. 30 year old male was bored too death, but he's not a history person. We got free parking. Don't know where we would have had to park if we hadn't.

Nice but very small, easy to see in an hour. Great art and artifacts from their collection, fossils, and evolution of humanity displays. All of the displays are too small, this museum could easily double its display space and still have too much hidden. Parking is currently a mess due to construction next to the building.

The staff is super friendly and the museum has so much to offer! It is an integral part of UTK and I love seeing the work that these students do. It is a wonderful opportunity to learn and see different cultures. I would also recommend this for families with children. It is free admission and overall a welcoming and fun experience.

It was a wonderful place for a 3 year old to spend 2 hours on a road trip. Free parking. Reasonably priced. Lots of interesting activities crammed into the museum space. Several outdoor activities. We enjoyed it and would go again.

This is a fantastic place to bring your children to learn and play. We have been members for several years now and it’s also a great place to celebrate children’s birthdays. They have a private room for the party and provide great helpers to serve and help wrangle the children. Our helpers were Tyree, Cinneman and Christy and we were very happy to have their help to serve our 40+ children and adults, they were great! The ladies at the front desk are always friendly and ready to welcome us whenever we come by. I highly recommend Muse and their great staff for daily visits as well as special occasions like birthdays.

We’ve been here several times and it’s always fun for my son. It’s $12 to get in, but you could easily stay all day. And there’s some discounted tickets. There’s outside areas too. They have reasonably priced snacks and drinks or bring your own lunch. I’m glad Knoxville has a place like this for kids to enjoy.

We recently hosted our 4-year-old’s birthday party at MUSE Knoxville, and I cannot recommend it highly enough! From start to finish, it was truly the easiest party I’ve ever planned. The staff took care of everything—set-up, clean-up, and helping the kids stay engaged and happy throughout. It was completely stress-free, and as any parent knows, that is priceless when it comes to planning a party for young kids! The pricing was incredibly reasonable, especially considering all that was included. The space was perfect for a group of energetic little ones, with plenty of interactive exhibits and activities to keep them entertained. I loved that I could just show up and actually enjoy the day instead of running around trying to coordinate every detail. A huge thank you to the amazing staff at MUSE Knoxville—you made our daughter’s birthday so special and memorable. We’ll absolutely be back and will be recommending this to all our friends with young kids!

Great place for young kids. We loved the Stellar Game with the tabletop touch screen. We figured out how to make black holes and eventually how to make the universe collapse on itself. Amazing game! Also love the new addition of the train color and scan game. We will be back!

The exhibits are geared towards the younger crowd (ages 3-5 would be perfect for this), but my 7 year old did find many things to hold his interest, and my 1 year old loved the calm sensory exhibit. We also enjoyed the planetarium movie.

We used the Muse for a STEM Night at my school over the past few years! They were so educational and the activities were really engaging. These folks are easy to work with and they work hard for our students. It has been so easy to speak with them and to allow them to accommodate their lessons to us. We will be using them in the future!

i think it a fun thing to do if you’re looking for something affordable and like to learn a bit of history! Penny was our tour guide, she was very personable and was able to answer all of our questions. though many things are restored and renovated i loved looking at it all! i wish we could’ve seen more like the upstairs and the cellar type building.

Absolutely loved it. I loved learning about the house. It was so much fun to be able to go and see all the trinkets and replicas in the house. I would also like to thank Penny she was a wonderful host and I absolutely loved the tour. Also the video at the start was awesome and to be able to walk around the house and garden was so much fun.

I visited the Blount mansion to add to my journey through History. I was not aware that Blount was a signer of our Declaration of Independence. Nice place to visit. There is parking right in front of the visitor center. I highly recommend a visit if you're in the area.

It was the best. Definitely recommend if you like history. Logan was a great volunteer Definitely recommend him.he explains so well

Great history of the house, grounds. Seeing a fingerprint in the brick awesome!

A friend and I attended the Holiday Open House last night at Blount Mansion with the opportunity to roam around the historic houses and grounds, the place was full of warm ambient holiday cheer! The docents, volunteers, and staff were knowledgable and passionate about history. Everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming, we will be coming back to explore and learn some more! Could not recommend this historic site enough. If you're interested in East Tennessee, Knoxville history, and William Blount, this place is the best!

Beautiful home. Great to explore Knoxville history in lovely riverfront setting.

Very well designed. Fun questions to answer at the beginning, a lot of history and memorabilia. Learned a lot. Basketball court and other fun activities at the end.

Wow! When I arrived, the nice older lady informed me that the museum closed in 30 minutes. As I was purchasing a souvenir and chatting with her she decided to quickly take me through the museum. I was in awe of the details and history. The museum smells great too! I’m so appreciative that she had compassion on me because I was going home to Michigan the next day! Mind blowing. Check out if you can! Women’s history 🎉🤩

Very beautiful building!! Alot of womens basket ball memorabilia!! Great energy!!

We visited the Hall of Fame today and really enjoyed it. Much great memorabilia and lots of history covered. My one disappointment was (being an Iowan) that there was next to nothing about Caitlin Clark. Because of all the records she broke as a senior at the University of Iowa (both women’s and men’s) I thought there should have been some recognition for that. Perhaps that will be added but seemed to me it should have already been there if it is truly up to date.

We filmed and photographed a wedding reception here. LOVED the venue! So good for a rehearsal dinner or a wedding! And all the beautiful drone shots of the Hall of Fame with Knoxville in the background!

What a wonderful experience to go to the women's basketball hall of fame. They have so much on display and you will get the history of the game as well as learning something new every time you go. Exhibits chang so you can go back often and even shoot a little hoop! The gift shop is awesome and I just want to buy everything in it lol. Admission price is pretty low so no reason not to go.

Great staff & exhibits! Thank You.

James White's Fort is a fantastic place. I felt like I learned many new things about the history of Knoxville and the founding of East Tennessee during my visit. I am a local historian, and I approve thoroughly of how the fort is presented to visitors. They also have integrated modern standards for history telling using QR codes and auto touring systems. I was able to read, hear about, and learn in person all at the same time. All parts of this historic fort are covered, including servants and basic things like outhouse usage and chamber pots. It's very fascinating.

My friend and I spent a fun afternoon at the James White's Fort in Knoxville, Tennessee. There is plenty of free parking at this location. Admission is $10 per person unless you're a senior or military. The employee checking us in asked us many questions to determine what our fees should be. I think he was being either nosy or friendly. He didn't like that the both of us were originally from California. Visitors are allowed to wander on their own and open cabinets in the rooms, just be respectful. My favorite room was the upstairs bedroom. When we exited the Fort, the employee told us about two sets of Californian visitors who got into a fight and I asked did this just happen today? He responded no, this happened like 5 years ago. I am thinking why the heck is he talking about it like it just happened. Had a marvelous time. We spent around 1.5 hours here. Edited for spelling corrections.

Great historical site. Scanning QR code gets you a narrated tour.

It was worth it to see, and the paper your given for you self guided tour is very informative. 10 dollar seems a little high for how long it may take, but worth it for people who will really study and take it all in. We spent about an hour there and looked at everything, and read the given information. I would recommend it for anyone who loves history, but don't expect to take much time there.

James white fort is the site of the first home in Knox County from this land the city of Knoxville was born. It was cool to visit and see how people lived. They give you a paper guide with audio options so you can listen while you walk. A must see if you are a history fan of any sort.

What a wonderful hidden gem. Highly recommend this stop for a nice overview of history here in Knoxville. Well maintained and Mr. McGinnis was very personable and knowledgeable about the history of the station. Nice little gift shop as well. We highly enjoyed our stop and would recommend it for anyone wanting to see some truly well preserved, well presented history.

Very educational. To realize this was the first home ever built in Knoxville is amazing. To see how people lived back then and what their amenities were. There was an upper class with their candle chandalier and the two seater outhouse. Lol. I enjoyed the tour. Fun for the kids to see how tough they would have had it compared to today

Great place to see a game, especially a night game. Fantastic atmosphere. Allow a few hours before the game to browse the tailgate tents and make your way from the parking areas at a leisurely pace. Another tip is to enter the stadium about an hour prior to the game to avoid the last-minute delays of entering the stadium. The only downside of the stadium itself is the size leaves little room in the aisles and passageways to walk, so you may be shoulder to shoulder with other people. Bathroom lines are a bit long as well. At halftime watch the band. Impressive performances

First time at the stadium for a UT game...wow how amazing it was. Plenty of staff to help find your seat, offsite parking and shuttle was so easy, and the facilities were great. Plenty of restrooms near the seats, food and drink was a breeze and what an atmosphere! Can't wait for the next game!

Good Game Day Atmosphere, But Falling Short on Promises - 3 Stars As a season ticket holder who attends most of the games, I’ve had the same disappointing experience time and time again. Zero Waste Claims: Neyland Stadium claims to be a “Zero Waste Game Day” facility, and I know the University has partnered with Eastman to be their recycling partner. However, I do not feel like the facility does enough to make fans respect the policy. There are too many standard trash cans easily available and not enough well-labeled recycling bins. Most fans are not going to go out of their way to find a recycling bin in the overcrowded corridors when a trash can is readily available along the way. Concessions & Beverage Service: The lines for concessions are outrageously long, even in the middle of a quarter. Missing more than 5 minutes of actual game time to get a beverage or a snack is unacceptable. Their ID policy is unorganized and causes massive delays in the process of trying to purchase an alcoholic beverage. Asking for an ID for every purchase may prevent some underage patrons from gaming the system, but they need to find a better method such as wristbands that can speed up the process. Facilities & Priorities: In my opinion, the University has spent way too much money adding luxury seating and suites while continuing to ignore the need for new bathroom facilities in the areas that the average fan has to use. This past season they took away some of the best modern facilities at the top of sections U & T to cater to large donors, leaving regular folks to use troughs, shoulder to shoulder in a hot cinderblock cave. These inadequate bathrooms are all around the upper deck of the stadium, affecting thousands of fans every game day. The University needs to reconsider its priorities and invest in the experience for all fans, not just the luxury suite holders.

Went to game between Arkansas and Vols last Saturday. Make sure to purchase a parking pass or you will be walking at least a mile. Not all parking is covered by shuttles. Oh and comfy shoes.

Hard to believe dead people or cadavers lye underneath that Big Old Tombstone. That's the first time I've thought of Neyland Stadium that way.. I love the VOLS and Respect that Ole Stadium knowing that it is in a way a very Spiritual Place.

Visited Neyland Stadium, such an iconic spot! The atmosphere is incredible, even just walking around. Definitely a must-see for any Vols fan.

The greatest college football stadium in the nation!! The environment at Neyland is like no other! From concerts to football games. Neyland delivers on all levels!

Maple Hall is such a fun place - bowling, good food & drinks, friendly staff and great atmosphere! What more could you ask for? Highly recommend Maple Hall.

We had our graduation party this weekend at Maple Hall and it was amazing. From the wait staff, to the food, the communications and ease of booking, it was all fabulous. They have many different space to rent. We rented out Heart of the Hall (area) - 5 lanes of bowling and a spacious area behind the lanes with 6 high top tables. It was Perfect for large group of 8 grads and all of their families. Forgot to take pics of the food, but it was really good. I wasnt sure if anyone would bowl, but it was a HUGE Hit. Would highly recommend this venue.

This is a really interesting place. The food/drink are superb. The bar on the ground level is beautiful, unique and their game nights are a blast

My family went here Sunday before Labor Day. It was a ton of fun and it wasn’t overly crowded. We had some great drinks. The fries were phenomenal!! It was family friendly too. We will definitely be going back.

We(our family of 43 in Knoxville for a reunion) had the BEST time at Maple Hall! We rented out the Heart of the Hall(5 lanes) for our 2 hour event and everyone from 2 to 68 had a fantastic time. The staff did a great job accommodating us and all of our crew, from bowling ball ramps and bumpers to taking family pictures. Highly recommend!

This was a great experience. The staff was fun and friendly, they had no issues with some people just wanting water. Lots of other options available as well. It felt like the bowling alley was part of the old building. Everything just felt vintage. We had 2 lanes 12 pair of shoes for 2 hours for $200. Split between a bunch of guys it was a great night!

I took one of our teams to Maple Hall for an event. What a wonderful venue! The food was ready when we arrived, the person taking care of us was fantastic! My only regret was not booking more than 2 hours because we easily could have done 4-6 hours. I would highly recommend this venue!

Visited on April 26, 2025 When we came, we were able to sit immediately. We were at a High Top outside. It was perfect for our group of 6 and dog. Our server was Emma. She was very attentive and friendly. Everyone was really friendly. The menu had plenty of options. I ordered a side ceasar and  the Smoked Salmon pizza with Garlic Oil + pesto base. I added feta and red onion. I did not get a picture, but the salad was okay. I asked for no mushrooms and when the salad came it had a bunch of black olives. I thought that was a little odd. The salad was also very small. Now to the pizza. When I tell you this pizza was absolutely DELICIOUS!!!!! I ordered a second one to go. It was that good!!! It taste so fresh and perfect. I did get a side of ranch. I assume it was made fresh, but it was watery. Wouldn't even stick on my food. Not good. My to go pizza was oddly a lot smaller than the one I had at the restaurant. I ordered a Margarita, but they said they were out of lime, so they made it with Strawberry. It wasn't very good. And it was only half way filled. I think the bartender had the measurements incorrect. Everyone in our party loved their pizza as well. My brother in law also ordered another to go. I would absolutely come back. Oh and they let me use their outlet to charge my phone. Also, I love Market Square. Such a cool vibe. I love the inclusivity of the area.

Came to spend a day in Knoxville and wander through stores and eat lunch. We found The Tomato Head restaurant and had lunch. He had the salmon and pesto pizza slice and a house salad. I ordered a calzone. Both were tasty but also typical. Will you get a good meal. Yes. Service good? Also yes. Nothing to rave about but clean and tasty.

Love the healthy and flavorful food options. Service was great! Nice patio dining on the square. I had the kepner melt, a greek salad, and the cleanse mocktail. My husband and I each had half the sandwich and shared the salad. We both loved it! Hoping I can recreate it at home since we don't live close by. Waitress was super attentive! Would love to go here more often. It will be a must next time I visit Knoxville.

Our favourite from back in college, Tomato Head is still great. The menu has hardly changed, which I love. Lots of delicious salads, pizzas & sandwiches & a great selection of drinks. This will always be one of my favourite restaurants in Knoxville. So many memories here!

Get the mozzarella instead of the jack cheese... I have visited Tomato head in 3 distinct decades of my life and can say with confidence - I loved this sandwich more than any other item I have purchased from Tomato Head. I purchased the "Oh Boy" and it should be called the "Oh Man" because that sandwich was emotionally stable and in a good spot. It was the Mr. Darcy of Sandwiches, pride in that it was the most superior of all of the sandwiches on the menu. My prejudice is that the chips are just "Oh, okay, sure potatoes" and I could never say "what excellent [fried] potatoes." But in this case, the Mr. Collins of chips made the Mr. Darcy of sandwiches that more enjoyable. Anyway, the move is changing to the fresh mozzarella on the sandwich. I would come back anytime and be glad to get that whole meal again. The nice bit was this meal was also attainable and just the right amount of food! The staff was exceptionally friendly and I will return with the hope I can eat another one of these sandwiches.

We were recommended to eat here by a local. The best sandwich I’ve ever had. They use High quality ingredients and their bread is amazing. The service is top notch, all the employees are so friendly and hospitable. If I lived here I could eat here everyday and not get bored! Ask for Emma as your server, she is great and so kind!

Stopped here on the way thru to Nashville due to the good reviews. We ordered the red pepper Air Head as an appetizer as recommended by our server, Ella. I’d never heard of something like this. Wow! It was blown up and the bread was chewy, light, and tasty! It had just a little bit of spice and marinara for dipping. I would’ve eaten one just for a meal! And the Marinara sauce was so vibrant and flavorful! We also shared the 4 cheese pizza. Omg! The cheeses just blended together so nicely and the hint of EVOO just put it over the top!! And the pizza crust had huge bubbles in it and it was so chewy and delicious!! Even the water was good! No hint of chlorine or any other weirdness you sometimes get with water. Ella was a great waitress! Very nice and helpful. We’ll definitely be back!! What an amazing place!!

Fabulous place for a wedding! Down home and grand at the same time. We pitched a beautiful tent with the sides rolled up to preserve the lovely view of the hills and distant Smokies. We were happy to party outside because the house simply would not accommodate a party for 150 guests! A docent offered tours of the historic house. All enjoyed!!

Awesome tour! Our guide was the director as the regular tour guide was unavailable. He was clearly passionate and very knowledgeable, and had great energy. Felt very personal and definitely outside of what you can learn and experience just by reading about a place/person. Definitely recommend stopping by. I can't wait to visit one of their after hour events and shows!

My husband & I had a tour with Josh and he was so knowledgeable. We enjoyed not only the house but all of the stories of the residents who lived there. It was great and we would definitely recommend.

The tour was very enjoyable. The docent did a great job explaining the soap opera like history of the original owner which included a "wild west" type of gun battle. The extra bonus was the extensive Christmas Decorations in the home.

WHAT AN EXPERIENCE 😊 .... If you love HISTORY then this is a not so hidden but overlooked tourist attraction. Hard to say those words when the Mabry-Hazen family were slave owners. This known fact is the reason why many Black Knoxvillians have never made it a priority to "scratch the itch of curiosity" for the house that sits on a hill off Dandridge Ave. Plus I'm NOT PAYING to visit an estate that made its livelihood off of human trafficking of Black Americans. However, the new Executive Director has made it his mission to tell THE COMPLETE HISTORY of the Mabry-Hazen legacy. I was able to fully appreciate the special Juneteenth Celebration Tour that took place 6/19/2023. This tour was free, hence me taking the opportunity to relieve my curiosity about the house on the hill. This is an older historic home so it's really not accessible for those with mobility deficiencies. The tour consists of ambulating up and down stairs to key places in the home. This can be quite difficult because this is an older structure therefore the steps are not like modern day accessible ones.

Great historic house with a lot of original furniture. Great guide who is very knowledgeable.

Lovely tour. Guide was very knowledgeable about history of Knoxville and the families who lived there. Lots of historic furniture, dishes and silver. Beautiful old home lovingly restored on 8 acres with beautiful trees, shade, and an old cemetery.

The square is so pretty! There's a great selection of shops and the restaurants are wonderful! Lots of safe food choices for those with allergies. The shaded path and water instalment are really nice to sit and people watch.

Absolutely loved Market Square. So quaint and charming. Lots of restaurants and shops. Pleasantly surprised by downtown Knoxville. First time here!

Just a great place for breakfast, lunch or dinner. With a seasonal farmers market, you can have a good time walking around and socializing with friends and family.

09/11/2025. I took us stroll through Market Square today, around 1:30 p.m. The street was bustling with pedestrians. There are many restaurants and bars on this pedestrian path. Some are decorated beautifully and others are more casual. It's a great place to go, relax and then joy people watching. October 2024. Market Square was lit up tonight in beautiful lights, with ghosts hanging from the trees. There are so many places to visit and things to do in this lovely area. Even just walking down the street is fun. It's a beautiful location!

Saturday farmer market is a delight place to visit with your family. Locust garage is our go-to parking.

Basically just a bar/pub district. Yes there are some restaurants, but most are just bars that sell enough food to keep their license. I imagine the area is packed on a football weekend, or maybe just any evening. On a Monday afternoon there were more homeless people than I would care to count. I’ve now seen the area and have no interest in revisiting.

Loved my time here in Knoxville. Rich history and culture.

Pretty cool place. Big boardwalk to sit on and relax. They have trails that allow you to walk around the quarry as well. Parking lot has plenty of parking and there is a decent snack bar

Spectacular, refreshing and free! Swim at your own risk. No lifeguards so bring your floaties. There are 3 parking lots to use but it fills up fast. Dogs need to be on a leash unless swimming. There are walkways or decks that float on the water. A small sandy beach and shore for kiddos. Water shoes aren't necessary unless you can't walk on small rocks. They have restrooms but no showers. Beautiful nature trails. Family friendly. Oh and did I mention it's FREE! Open dawn to dusk. Enjoy.

It is a great spot to hangout for a fun summer day. However, it isn’t the most family friendly place on the weekend. During the week it’s fine! On the weekend it was just a wild crowd. People smoking everywhere and people having little to much to drink

Early mornings are so peaceful. Awesome trails . Dog friendly . Handicap access and just a Beutiful place to be around nature . Area with tables available for picnic. great for family photo shoot .

This is a fun, free place to swim, paddleboard, or kayak. There are no lifeguards and it is a quarry with steep drop offs, so swim at your own risk. We brought our own life jackets for the kids. There is a floating boarwalk with ladders to get in if you don't want to jump. There are bathrooms by the gravel parking lot, which is just a short walk to the quarry.

Lots of trail options..you can rent a paddle board or kyack..good place for dogs. Lots of people and bikers and dogs

Great swimming hole. And free! Hardly any beach but has a ring of floating docks where you can sit. Includes a shallow area, but the most fun is jumping off the docks into the deep quarry water. Water was murky with a slight smell; I recommend water shoes and goggles, and showering afterwards. Popular place. There and parking lots on both sides of the street. Would visit again.

Great place if you are looking for burgers. They offer all different types of combos from traditional with cheese to egg or peanut butter toppings. The fries were great and the burger was cooked to order and was delicious. I tried the fried feta as an appetizer and it was good. Order if looking for a shareable . The tomato salad was refreshing and reminded me of a Greek salad. Our server was very friendly, knowledgeable and was very attentive to our table.

Busy place on game day, we got seated pretty quickly. We sat outside which was pleasant and great for people watching. We both ordered the Mother Clucker sandwich (Fried in a Buttermilk batter, Havarti cheese, Garlic Aioli, Bourbon Glaze Onions and topped with Tomato and Greens. OMG delicious. I ask for some Honey Mustard and got a Honey Dijon Vinaigrette. It was absolutely amazing, best sandwich ever! I recommend getting the split order of fries and onion rings because it’s more than you can eat. Ethan was our server and he was fantastic. Don’t go by the picture I posted. Give us the backside of my wife’s sandwich, which was grilled. My fried sandwich was huge. We will definitely go back.

We loved our visit here! My wife had the salmon burger, and I had the 'merican burger! Phenomenal burgers!! They were simply outstanding! Our waiter was awesome as well! He checked on us frequently, and gave us refills as needed. The burgers were not cheap, but they were worth it. The fries and onion rings were also absolutely delicious!! I'm not sure if I can recall onion rings that good. Definitely a "must revisit" for us!

A solid little burger joint in Market Square. Not nearly as good as the hype that it has received. Went on a Sunday at lunch and was seated immediately. The restaurant itself is nothing special, kind of plain and honestly kind of small. Our food was good with no complaints. Service was great. I wouldn’t say it’s the best burger in town by any means, but worth a try if you’re interested.

I got the Bernie. It was good but the blue cheese didn't work for me personally. The onion rings were the best I've ever had. I also ordered the Darrel strawberry bourbon cocktail. It was pretty good. My son got the bison burger, my daughter got the free bird, and her fiancé got chicken and waffles. They all loved theirs. The duck fat fries were awesome too.

Burger size portions were enough to share. Old Fashioned was a nice fit for a burger. 100s of burning to select and a variety of burgers for any dietary preference. You can even upgrade your burger meat selection to bison or change to gluten-free bun.

Stock & Barrel is an absolute gem! The food was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and clearly crafted with care. Really is the best burger around! What really blew me away was their incredible bourbon selection—easily one of the best I’ve seen. The staff was amazing too: friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. It’s definitely worth the wait to eat or drink here.

For anyone who grew up or is specifically interested in East TN history, this place was so cool. If you’re just wandering and randomly come across this museum, it may not be for you. Free admission (with option for donations that go to the museum or local natural disaster aid relief) and ~3-5 rooms to walk around

Really good, and really interesting. Though I wish they were a little more blunt about how we treated the Cherokee.

Was awesome! Great artifacts! I would honestly offer a discount code for parking. We rushed the museum even adding time. We did 1½hours and honestly could be 2½ hrs or 3 to really read everything.

This place is so cool! I found a piece of history from my family who settled the area while exploring it for the first time. It covers history of Knoxville and beyond. Great for kids and super interactive!

Such a lovely gem of a place. Very organized so you walk through time of eastern Tennessee. Some verbiage sugar coated real events but overall was a great museum. They also had a great section for young kids.

This is a cute little museum!! Admission is only $5, and there are a couple exhibits, but the main/permanent one was the best. It had a lot of historical pieces so there was a lot of things to look at! We were there for about an hour and a half. It is definitely worth a visit if in the area!

This museum is fantastic. I have maintained a membership for several years now. They rotate the temporary exhibits, and change and update permanent exhibits on a reasonably basis. They feature many different types of exhibits and from different time periods. They just added a children's activity room that is extremely popular.

Cruze Farm Ice Cream in downtown Knoxville made for a fun stop after dinner with friends on a warm evening. The place has a nostalgic soda fountain feel to it—right down to the red-and-white branding, and the staff dressed like they time-traveled from a 1950s milk bar, which honestly added to the charm. I went for the Cookies N Cream Churn, and it hit the spot—creamy, rich, and topped with a generous handful of crushed cookies (as you can see in my photo). Between the group, we tried a bit of everything: root beer floats, strawberry milkshake, sweet cream, vegan vanilla… not a single complaint in the bunch. Everyone seemed pretty happy with their choices, and it was the kind of place where the mood lifted as soon as we walked in. The only knock—and it's a small one—is that the layout gets cramped fast. Once the line grows (and it did), the space fills up quickly, and it can be hard to figure out where to wait or stand without getting in someone's way. Still, it’s clearly a local favorite for a reason. I’d definitely swing back by if I’m in Knoxville again, especially after a long day of walking. Worth a detour for anyone craving a sweet treat downtown.

My family and I really love this place! It's not always easy to find a great ice cream spot, but the flavors and service here are top-notch. The staff were friendly and went above and beyond - exceptional service!

Loved the interior and there tastes of ice creams My husband’s fav is strawberry so he sticked to that I love trying new flavours i tried lavender honey and i loved it.!

Not sure if I will ever make it back to Knoxville, but if I do, I will definitely come back to this place. I tried the half and half buttercream and pumpkin spice flavor and couldn´t get enough of it.

Sooooo good! The best ice cream you will ever try! It is a little busy and we had to wait outside in a line probably because it was a Saturday night but other than that 10/10 the staff is super friendly and service is very quick, the ice creamer is the best, definitely worth trying it out.

Stop in with the family on Sunday for a treat after having brunch at Market Square. The sweet cream milkshake is hands down the best I've ever had. It's $7.49 for a shake but worth every damn penny. It's sweet rich and decadent creamy goodness in a cup. You will not be disappointed. It's so good I've never had anything else from there. The wife raves about the cookies and cream though. If you have kids this is a must stop. You get 45 min. of peace while they are woofing down this ice cream. That alone is worth the cost of admission. Can't recommend Cruze Farm enough! They stand alone at the top of the ice cream mountain. Take the climb and plant your flag in a sweet cream milkshake.

Cruze Farm is always a delicious treat! I love trying new flavors at each visit, but somehow I keep coming back to Cookies n' Cream every time; it's just SO good. Adding Butterfingers was an added bonus tonight.

Me and my wife took our 3 year old on his 1st train ride and everyone was so nice and I enjoyed the scenery and the people working answered all questions and we will take another ride again. Thank you all for everything

The experience was amazing! My husband and I celebrate our birthdays in December, and found a fun way this year to celebrate! The staff were very helpful and friendly, including a volunteer named Gabe, who went out of his way to make our experience special by finding us with a snowman ornament! Thank you so much and we will be back!

Absolutely loved it and would definitely go again! The kids were thoroughly enchanted and so we're the adults! After the story time when they released the "snow" it made it even more magical!

My boys enjoyed the train ride so much! We really liked that you could play with the toy train set on the trip. We did the Christmas Lantern Express so the train cars were lighted up nicely and we got to see Santa and hear a Christmas story. We drank several cups of the complimentary hot cocoa which was described as "very chocolatey" by my 7 year old. My son is already asking when we can go again.

Great Christmas train and absolutely recommend. Nice comfy themed coaches with a special reading session. Free hot chocolate and gift options and light concessions available. Photo opportunities galore. Lots of kiddos wear their PJs. Make sure to take time at night to grab pics of the train lit up.

A fun family tradition! We have enjoyed the Christmas train ride twice now. I recommend the evening ride for a better ambiance, but any time is fun for kids. The ride is comfortable and we love the decorations of the cars. A great way to get into the holiday spirit!

The Three Rivers Rambler is a train ride in Knoxville, TN that boards near Neyland Stadium at the University of Tennessee. The ride we went on was a Polar Express type attraction near Christmas that included a visit from Santa and lots of hot chocolate! The look on my child's face when she accidentally ran into Santa on one of the train cars was priceless! You can move freely from one rail car to the next and there are also open rail cars so you can stand outside during the train ride. It was a lot of fun!

This is a fun speakeasy with great craft cocktails.. I enjoyed the Aslan: 1950, plus they have an extended list of great slippers to try. The staff was very friendly and fun. Put this on your list when in Knoxville Downtown.

Overall, the experience was pleasant, though I don’t quite share the enthusiasm surrounding this location. The concept—receiving a code and finding the red light in an alley—sets an exciting tone. I had looked forward to knocking for entry, but the door was unmanned and already open, which diminished the intrigue slightly. The hostess was polite and seated us promptly. The atmosphere was warm, casual, and true to a speakeasy, with closely shared booth seating. The drink menu was thoughtfully curated, offering a wide range of unique options. Unfortunately, service fell short. We intended to enjoy a few rounds before our reservation at Vida but managed only one due to a long wait. Despite available tables, our server avoided eye contact and was slow to return. When she did, service was polite but lacked attentiveness. The cocktails themselves were expertly made and enjoyable. While our visit was underwhelming, I’d consider returning for a second chance.

What a great little find in the heart of Knoxville market district. Amazing drinks with a great atmosphere. Comfortable seating, friendly service that is knowledgeable about whiskey. We had a wonderful old fashioned with Forbidden whiskey which was smooth and full of Smokey orange flavor. Must place for a cocktail while in Knoxville

We found this spot and were super excited about the speakeasy vibe. When arriving, we waited in the lobby area for about 5 minutes before someone arrived and let us into the actual bar. We had the code ready and everything, although they did not really use it and just let us through which killed the vibe a bit. Overall though, the ambiance and drinks were both amazing! The service was great as well and our waiter was super sweet and gave us recommendations.

The Peter Kern Library is a great spot for a cocktail before or after dinner. I enjoy the “speakeasy” vibe, in the heart of Downtown Knoxville. From my understanding, they frequently update their menu so you can always try something new each visit.

I came here on a date when I first moved to Knoxville, my boyfriend and I each had a couple drinks, I don’t remember the first drinks we ordered, but I do distinctly remember how delicious the espresso martinis were had were. I dream of them. Highly recommend going if you’ve never been. It’s a really chill vibe, for anyone who’s a millennial like we are, the lighting is PERFECT. I’m looking forward to our next visit.

I have been to the library years ago. But it has been a while. Planned on taking a friend there on Saturday night. My daughter said The last few times she had gone, it was not very good. But I took a chance. Bad choice. The bartender was unbelievably rude and the drinks were not good at all. Especially for $20 each. Will definitely not be going there or recommending anybody to go there from now on.

One of the many highlights of our trip to Knoxville. The staff is so helpful and friendly. The course is beautiful and challenging but easy to navigate and so fun. My 72 year old mom even did it! Highly recommend ❤️

An absolute must do in Knoxville! Great variety in courses and levels, incredibly kind and attentive staff, and the perfect cadence of active and enjoyable. This is a great activity for a couple, group or family! Highly recommend Navitat for anyone seeking a little adventure and adrenaline in Knox. Can’t wait to go back! Be prepped to pay a small fee for parking (goes towards the Ijams park) and grab some cash to tip your guide!

“I feel like you’re only here for the zipline” I love this place! I had so much fun. The staff were amazing and so friendly. The courses were perfectly hard. The hardest one has some weird obstacles at the end- ladders/steps you have to crawl up, my arms were too short to reach them once my harness pulled taut. It was a sight to see 😂 Probably going to come back.

Went here for our anniversary and it was super fun, challenging and tested my fear of heights. The zip lines were fun and the drop was also great! After the first course, the second rope course felt a lot easier as I got more confident. Great, friendly staff. Great experience

We had the BEST time at Navitat Knoxville! From start to finish, the experience was so much fun. The crew members truly made it great. They were beyond amazing, so helpful, patient, and incredibly sweet. We went as a group for a birthday party, and the staff made sure everyone felt comfortable and confident. I absolutely loved it and will 100% be back.

Had a blast! My mom and I went together. They have six courses. Two beginner, two moderate, and two advanced. I did the two beginner and two moderate. The crew were super helpful when needed! I attempted one of the advanced but got stuck and one of the employees helped me back and I did the second moderate one! Which I did get stuck on and needed some help but I did complete that one. If you are looking for fun climbing experience I highly recommend. If you are looking for just ziplines then I wouldn't recommend. My Mom really liked the fish course it has a lot of ziplines in it and is really fun.

I planned an entire weekend of events for our anniversary, e.g., food tour, live stand up comedy at the Tennessee theater, etc. The Navitat Ropes course was the shining crown jewel of every single aspect of our trip! Steve is THE MAN, and everyone else had our back as well. We haven't had this much fun in a long time. The beginning trails are great (and mildly challenging) for most everyone. The intermediate and difficult trails will test your metal. Did I mention that Steve is THE MAN?!

Good overall displays and commentary on the history of East Tennessee. The "play area" was great for a 1.5 year old and I'm sure other younger age groups. Some displays were empty due to maintenance or updating as this is likely a slow season. Some description of artifacts didn't seem to align with the artifacts directly above them. Out of town family enjoyed the self tour and was overall a good experience. The staff is friendly and informative.

This is a very cool museum. Welll worth the time to visit. Staff is nice and helpful.

A very interesting museum which explains the development of Tennessee and Knoxville in particular from settlement to the current day. We enjoyed this narrative but what really sets it apart from other museums we've been is the level of detail accompanying each exhibit. We spent hours reading it all. Superb.

ETHC is a staple of Knoxville. They hold history and archival materials in one location. Whether you are a tourist or a local, you’ve got to check it out. Their museum rivals Smithsonian-level quality and they even have a portion that rotates with a theme. ETHC often holds public workshops, teacher workshops, and local historical meetings for non-profits. It has an excellent gift shop if you’re looking for unique gifts from the region. Stop by to see this regional and local treasure! You won’t regret it.

LOVED the kids play area! It gave a much-needed break to my 1 year old. Admission is free on Sundays.

Cool museum with a lot of information about life in the smokeys and facts about all the music that made this area what it's known for!

Lots of interesting artifacts

Paula was an excellent and informative guide. Although it was graduation weekend, our party of 4 still enjoyed wonderful food with no wait! Her knowledge of Knoxville history was impressive and was expertly woven in to the food tour. Having been on other food tours, I was shocked by the full portions we were served along the way. Highly recommend this walking tour. We also received some excellent deals along the way.

Paula was an awesome food tour guide! We met for the tour in the Mast General Store and ended there. She knew the good spots to eat and she was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Knoxsville. The places we stopped were Chivo Taqueria, Proper Popcorn, Oliver Royale, Eddie's health shoppe, Spice & Tea Exchange and the Phoenix Fountain. At Chivo's we were served a pork taco, and Barbacoa beef brisket nachos. At Proper Popcorn we were treated to alot of different flavored popcorn. We bought the Sea salt Carmel popcorn. At the Oliver Royale we were served some tasty buttermilk biscuits and fried chicken with corn flake crust, gouda cheese grits, gravy, egg over easy and hot sauce to taste. Eddie's health shop we were given a goodie bag and "healthy zenevo chocolate". The Spice and Tea Exchange had so many choices of teas and sugars. I bought cinnamon and dandelion teas. The Phoenix Fountain did not disappoint with the Hot fudge sundae I ordered. Other people in my group ordered the Rootbeer Float and 1 person ordered the Christmas Cookie Sundae. The tour took a little over 3 hours, and it was worth every penny. Also, today in downtown Knoxville, there was a Tennessee Volunteer football game and the fans were all dressed in Orange, that was awesome to witness. Also, there was a farmers market in the square and that was amazing. All in all I would definitely encourage you to book the Knoxsville Food Tour.

We had great fun with Paula our guide. She kindly accommodated our dietary requirements of no red meat! We enjoyed all the variety of food especially the Mexican with nachos and fried avocado tacos and the old Pharmacy where we enjoyed ice cream! Would highly recommend this tour as you learn a bit of the history and culture of Knoxville as well! It was a nice size group!

The restaurants and food that Paul chose were excellent! There was plenty of food at each location - wonderful portion sizes for our group - we were surprised at the amount of food at each location. Paula did a great job including the history of downtown Knoxville along with the history relating to restaurants of food.

Paula is an amazing food tour guide! I let her know we were coming to Knoxville with our 3 kids and probably needed a scaled back tour but we definitely wanted to do it. She planned it perfectly and made sure to accommodate the kids. She had nice restaurants with some fun in between to keep them entertained. The menu she set up was fantastic and her knowledge is unmatched. Thanks for a great tour!

Paula is a great hostess, and very knowledgeable, not just about the food and Restaurants, but Knoxville History as well.The food and Hospitality was perfect ! A Great Afternoon was had by all ! We will be back !

This was an excellent tour. The restaurants that Paula chose provided amazing food. She gave local history of the surrounding buildings and area. I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone.

Just watched the reaction to TPUSA visiting your campus. I would be so embarrassed if I was a student or alumni after that display. After looking at the test scores that you allow for acceptance, I understand why you allow improper behavior. Everyone in my family has gone to The Ohio State University with my grandparents in 1919. That kind of behavior isn't allowed and would be punished. I'm almost embarrassed for you.

8.26.23 I only visited the campus 2 times, just walked around, shopped at both book stores etc. Parking both times was just miserable as all parking garages were full. The campus was very clean. The shrines to Pat Summit were all over the campus. I heard going to a football game here is an amazing experience.

Nice stadium - love the updates they done.. LED lights sound system sound awesome. It can be crowded (100K + fans) Family Be aware they sell beer - but is a fun place to be cheering for UT VOLS... Food and drinks are pricey - they Do cash and cards. Take clear bags, easier to go thru the gate. GO VOLS

Great vet hospital. Everyone is so professional and friendly. This is our second trip with my wife's cockatoo. I'm glad we have a great bird doctor nearby.

UT Gardens are spectacular! Enjoy a private walk through their shaded tails, or a brisk jog along the riverside. There is something for everyone. There is even an interactive Children's Garden! With plenty of places to rest, either benchs or tables, it makes a wonderful place to sit and enjoy lunch. Take your family, take your friends, or just take yourself for a little alone time to unwind. It is well worth it!

Love visiting especially for the VOLS games. Southern hospitality at it's best!

Wonderful park-like location open to the public but owned by the University of TN. There's plenty of simple trails throughout with benches around to lounge in. Plus an area for children to play. Photos are okay. Pro photos require you to be a member from the School to shoot Professionally plus you'll need an appointment.

Seated quickly, waitress was friendly and quick to our table with drinks, food came out hot and fresh, salad lettuce was cold and crisp. Wonderful meal on the patio. Beautiful atmosphere in downtown Knoxville. Only complaint is the meat in the lettuce wraps was questionable. It looked like all the gross pieces I take out of chicken when I shred it at home. However, flavor was excellent. Regardless, I would eat here if we ever have the chance to visit Knoxville again. I also felt it was very reasonably priced for the portion sizes.

The food and beer here were excellent, with a great variety to choose from. Loved the potato nacho. Was very crispy and tasty. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality food, drinks, and warm service.

After a 9-hour drive, all I wanted was a solid meal and a cold beer. Like Johnny on the Spot, Balter Beerworks delivered. The atmosphere was exactly what I needed—your classic bar setup with high tops, tables, and a slight industrial vibe. It was too hot to sit outside during our visit, but they’ve got a great-looking patio I’ll definitely be back for when the weather cools down. I started with the Sunsphere wheat beer—yuuuum. Light and crisp with a bold citrus finish. If you're into wheat beers, this one hits. So good I ordered a second without hesitation. For food, we went with the Ranchero Chicken and the Brewhouse Burger. Both were full of flavor and cooked perfectly—no corners cut. We’d happily order them again, though with so many tempting options on the menu, we’ll likely branch out next time. I don’t hand out 5-star reviews often—especially not for bar-style spots—but if I did, Balter Beerworks would be right up there. Check it out, and thank me later.

I really wish I could accurately describe how amazing our experience here was. I looked up brunch in Knoxville and saw a travel blogger write about this place. She said the only thing better than their food was their service and I couldn’t agree more. From the moment Chris walked up to our table, it was like talking to a friend. He never once made us feel rushed and engaged in conversation like we were his only table. Everything we ordered was amazing. Avocado toast bites, fish tacos, breakfast burrito, Benedict, chicken and waffles, Bloody Mary, and Beermosa. We had the greatest experience here and look forward to going back in the future!

Balter Beerworks has urban industrial aesthetics with warm neighborhood vibes. The space is inviting and social. The foods was yummy and the service great. The burger left a memorable impression; one that stands out is the Brewhouse Burger. Plus, the home-made beers were really good!

Boyfriend and I came here for a little anniversary dinner, had never tried it before but was very excited. We ordered a pretzel as an appetizer and it was delicious, finished the whole thing in 10 minutes! Only downside was queso was 4 dollars and was not told it was an upcharge. We then got our food a short while after, as well as two beers. Best burger I've had in a long time, and the mac and cheese was so yummy I scraped the bowl clean. My boyfriend loved his fish tacos too! Would definitely go again!

Very open and unique atmosphere. They definitely focus on an open and airy setting, keeping the "garage doors" open if possible and wonderful heaters on the patios. Just as unique as the atmosphere, so is the menu. The food was very tasty as we sampled "potato chip" nachos, ancho chicken quesadillas, harissa chicken bowl and a burrito bowl. Sampled a couple different beers, which were light and refreshing (at $6.50). Everyone enjoyed their dinner selection. The service was slow in starting and sometimes delinquent with drink refills, but when provided it was cordial and friendly. The free parking area adjacent to the restaurant is very small (20 cars?) and parking across the street is "paid parking." Overall an enjoyable meal, but there are other more convenient restaurants that offer more flavorful food, although maybe housed in a more traditional setting.

Only had a couple of hours of free time to visit and we were provided with some ideas of great local places to visit (museums and coffee shops) and a map. Thank you for the great tips. We really enjoyed walking around the downtown area. Must stop at the Market Square and park at the Market Square Garage- so affordable!

Free live music in the visitor center almost every day noon to 1, which is part of a live Blue Plate Special radio broadcast! I think they broadcast from a restaurant on Fridays. It was fun to participate!

Definitely worth stopping in here if you're exploring downtown Knoxville! They had a small gift shop with a variety of souvenirs, lots of brochures to check out, a map that you can pin where you're visiting from, and they had a small stage where local artists perform. When we stopped in someone was performing and there were a couple people who were sitting there enjoying the music. Looks like the local radio station uses it which I think is a cool use of the space!

Quick, pleasant visit to the Knoxville Visitors Center. Nice gift shop and many pamphlets on local attractions and whatnot. Hosted by a lovely woman. There is a small stage where they have a live radio broadcast at noon most days! I think I'll check it out!

What a great resource to have here in Knoxville . Multi functional platform, We love the BluePlate Special WDVX concerts. Hope everyone has a chance to go and make a day of it downtown. Wonderful fun to be had..

Probably the coolest visitors center that I've ever come across. There was live music as we were walking in, with multiple singers. Stop by the gift shop to pick up all your Knoxville merch. And don't forget to put a pin in one of their amazing world maps to show everyone where you've been!

Went here twice on my trip to Knoxville, once to stop in and look at gifts and once for the Blue Plate Special. Both times the people at the front desk were helpful and the Blue Plate Special was awesome! Wish I could've gone more times.

We saw Kingfish here with Artur Menenes opening for him. The venue was fantastic and both artists played a fantastic set. I've seen Kingfish down in Miami and love that he plays in smaller venues giving you a fantastic view and seat. Would definitely go to a concert here again.

We went to see The Fab Four. Lighting was good sound was good. The lobby was a bit small but we didn't go there for the lobby. This is a nice, intimate venue to see a show. I was happy to hear that the band wasn't blasting their sound at astronomical volumes. We'll go back for another show someday!

Nice clean. Good sounding theater to see shows drinks, snacks or very reasonably priced good air unit. Go hang out for a bit. Eat some dinner. Have some drinks conversely show.

Great historic venue with intimate atmosphere. Really feels like you’re a part of the performance and getting to see your favorite bands up close rather. No big screens to stare at just live performance.

Awesome venue to see 10years at their 20th anniversary show. The staff is awesome. I had an issue with my tickets and they fixed it very quickly with superb friendliness and professionalism. Thank you!

Wonderful smaller theater, cushioned seats - made it feel more intimate setting. Wonderful place

Wonderful theater with very good acoustics. There is a parking g lot directly across the street. Cost is $12. There is a bar on the ground floor along with available restrooms. Highly recommend seeing a concert here.

Went to the Historic Ramsey house on a whim. In the area and seen it on Google maps. It's a beutiful home built in 1797. The property is also impressive with additional out buildings. We decided to take the tour of the home. It was $10 for adults and $8 for kids. Our three year old was free. We did the tour with Ethan and he was a very knowledgeable young man. He explained every room and answered questions. He was an excellent representative of this amazing home. He did an excellent job. The home is really incredible. Filled with antiques and some original furnishings. It's an example of what wealth in the 1700's could afford you. We were at the governor's home at Marble Springs and the difference is night and day. Ethan actually pointed that out in the tour. It's really informative and interesting. You can smell the age when you walk into this home. It's really something to behold. We like to expose our kids to these types of experiences. They really enjoyed it and so did we. I would highly recommend a visit to Historic Ramsey House and please remember to tip Ethan for the tour. He does a great job and a tip is appropriate for what he does.

This place is really cool. The structure of the home is beautifully simplistic and we'll kept. The preservation committee has done well with the restoration. The history of the home is interesting. Location is off the beaten path. Good place to visit with family or solo. It was in my list of haunted places, although I saw no spirits. Still worth checking out.

A great experience of history in our town. Excellent tour guide who was a walking encyclopedia. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Amazing historical items beautiful home. Thankful it is still standing after all these years. Tours are available for all if you have a large group please contact the Ramsey House.

My best friend and I went for a tour one morning and it was GREAT! The tour guide was fantastic! She was full of knowledge and was happy to answer any questions we had. She wasn't boring at all and really kept our attention. She even told us about the ghosts. The grounds were kept beautifully. Such a great experience. Everything was furnished according to the time period and I literally felt as if I were back in time. Loved it!!

Been here a couple times and it was a delight each time.

My friends visited Ramsey House recently and had a tour with Ethan and they had such amazing things to say about it that I decided to visit it with my family. Our tour guide was not Ethan, our tour only lasted twenty minutes, the enslaved bedroom above the kitchen wasn't even on the tour though it was for my friends, and there was an embarrassing amount of misinformation shared. Such as the lady of the house wore her keys on an iron ring around her neck and the boys of the house had to take the chamber pots out via a yoke. It's shameful to charge people money and fill their heads with nonsense. Ramsey house is one of the most beautiful homes in East TN, they need to do better.

A lovely historic house visit about an important Tennessee family. The guide was lovely, teaching us many cute things about the family. The grounds are lovely as well. I hope that as time goes on they will add more detail about the lives of the people who were enslaved in the house, such as names, because the household was only able to thrive because of the labor of the enslaved people. Also they were part of the household story and deserve as much mention as the Ramseys, perhaps more since they could not profit from their own labor or residence. I am gladdened that a lot more historic homes are engaging with this history, because it is not cute and charming but important.

Every time we visit knoxville we are introduced to more beautiful parks. This is one of the best parks we have been too in the country. Great walking trails along the TN River with plenty of open spaces with ball fields and native perennial gardens.

We visited here and checked out all 4 playgrounds. My kids (6,4, and 22 months) loved the woodland playground and the other wooden one the most! This park is very spacious and plenty of space for everyone. Definitely a great park and worth visiting.

Hands down the best park in Knoxville. It has everything that you need and plenty of room. From walking trails to playgrounds, the lake, and spectacular views. It makes for a fun and great day to explore.

Great walking paths with developing meadows! If you have kids, there are two or three parks, baseball fields, and a skate park. Pickleball courts too! Dogs are also welcome and are there often. If you’re just there to have a picnic, read outside, or just wanting to hangout with friends it’s definitely somewhere you should check out! Oh ps. There are a few different restroom facilities and water fountains throughout the park :) and lots of parking, including accessible parking and sidewalks

There is 185 acres 4 different play grounds 2 huge walking parks soccer fields, baseball diamonds, basketball goals and an amphitheater

**Update** This continues to be one of our favorite parks. Consistently well manicured, tons of amenities (playgrounds, pickleball courts, walking paths, restrooms, baseball &soccer fields, benches, and open fields). Not to mention the view!! Beautiful park with great walking path and amazing views! Very dog friendly.

It showed a lake in the pics but there was no lake around. There's a part of the playground with huge slides that would be scary for kids so not sure why they even have that section.. there's also another little playground but it's not as big. There's not much to do around there which was disappointing bc online it seemed great..

Picturesque surroundings with buildings from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Great period pieces. Some fun hiking trails that need some maintenance.

This is a hidden gem just outside of Knoxville! Our tour guide John was very knowledgeable and engaging. It wasn't crowded, so we could really take our time and enjoy it. He even knew all the stories about the items in the buildings. Also, lots of open space for kids and not too much clutter in the buildings.

Marble Springs State Park is the homestead of Tennessee's first governor John Sevier. It has several historical structures you can go in and view. Depending on the day there can be things going on in any or all of the buildings. Today we saw a loom in operation and the lady was friendly and very knowledgeable. Super sweet to answer all my four year olds questions. The buildings are well maintained and furnished. The tavern and inn was my favorite. You can view them on your own so please be respectful and mindful of the age of these beutiful structures. I can't stress this point enough. We also walked the hiking trail at the edge of the property. It has a few bridges and gives you the opportunity to get out of the hot sun. The spring house is back on the trail. There is also a very nice covered picnic area here as well. It has restroom facilities and a small gift shop. It's got loads of free parking and free admission. I highly recommend a visit to Marble Springs. It's history brought to life.

What a wonderful Historic place so close to home. John was a fabulous tour guide and gave us valuable insight into the history of Marble Springs. Not really much here for kids, but ideal for adults interested in local historical information. A beautiful day ☀️

Marble Springs is a wonderful place to visit and to learn about our first governor of Tennessee. The houses have a rich history. The guide did an excellent job of sharing John Seviers' life with us. The gift shop is cute. The Passport book is a great purchase. It gives the bearer the opportunity to tour seven places and to continue learning the history of Tennessee.

Went for a quick walk today and stopped here to take some photos of the homes with the foliage. When we came in they were in the middle of a halloween festival and lots of local vendors displaying their goods. Spent an hour walking around and planning on returning to hike some of the trails.

We had a great time visiting Marble Springs in the summer of 2020! Informative and entertaining. Our tour guide was great, and my kids loved the cat, Cinnamon, that lives there. The grounds are beautiful as well!

Pretty cool house. Plus some confederate soldiers were killed there. Nice!

The Bleak House was amazing, great for photos, whether engagement, proms, or anything else. So many levels of gardens and the house is beautiful. Rose was so friendly, helpful, and professional!! Thank you!

Rose is the sweetest person you will meet. This location is amazing with so much history.

I have photographed several sessions at Bleak House and am always inspired by the house and grounds. It photographs so beautifully! And the lake views are stunning. The staff have always been so kind and helpful, and have always been gracious to clients. I highly recommend this beautiful venue for your event!

I visited the Bleak house today. It was my first time and what a fantastic experience. Both ladies working there were very knowledgeable and a wealth of info. I spent three hours there and could have spent more. Fantastic hidden gem right in Knoxville and should be on any War for Southern Independence history lovers list. Thank y'all for a wonderful time and I can’t wait to bring my family.

We had our wedding there this past weekend, and it was so beautiful. The historic house and the incredible grounds made the perfect backdrop for the most important day of my life. Rose did such a wonderful job organizing everything and helping to accommodate all of our guests and vendors! Thank you so much Rose!

An amazingly beautiful place full to the brim with historical significance, antiques and romance. This beautiful estate is permeated with a mysterious yet romantic aura all the way down to the last detail. It's always been a pleasure to visit and upon leaving you always feel you want to stay longer. The bridal suite is so pretty and accommodates all that a bride could want. I've had the honor of being my little sister's Maid-of-Honor on her wedding day that was held here. It was a magical evening that held the promise of a long and happy future for the new couple. This venue is a place that should be on your radar if you have any event in need of an impressive venue.

My daughter has done the last two sessions and has had a wonderful time. The program is really good about getting their creative juices flowing, working together and communicating, and being supportive to one another.

The staff is super friendly and keeps the crowds organized. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked. Lighting was wonderful. Only thing I would improve is the sound. My mom is hard of hearing and without the use of microphones, she wasn't able to hear a lot of the dialogue.

My son has participated in a few of the classes offered at the KCT. All the staff is great, and I feel very safe with leaving my child in their care.

One of the best entertainment venues, especially for the value, in Knoxville! Please support live theater - especially children! Future Broadway stars are born in theaters like this one!

My 5 year olds 2nd year at tiny thespians camp and she’s loved both years!!

Love all their plays and performances. Great fun!

Get thee to Knoxville Children's Theatre to see the Reluctant Dragon. The whole cast is outstanding. The dragon is so funny, St. George and his vanity will make you laugh over and over. Glaston is charming and Woolchester is a stand out, not to mention that hair. What a fine production from the kids and Steve Sherman.

A place you must visit! The Beck Cultural Exchange Center is an amazing museum with friendly and informative staff who are eager to share the dramatic story of Knoxville's Urban Renewal story. The historic house is interesting and beautiful too. We enjoyed the film, the exhibits, and most of all, the excellent staff. We even got to meet the archivist and see the archives. I highly recommend seeing this place and learning the stories they have to tell. Also, the Alex Haley statue is just down the street and convenient to the Beck!

If you are in the Nashville area, please take the time to visit BECK Cultural Crnter in Knoxville. Such an amazing experience fullof history and artifacts. Very knowledgeable staff and immersion displays. Definitely will go back for another visit when I'm in this area.

Beck is WONDERFUL. I learned so much about American history, the history of Knoxville, the community in which Beck is located, and how to be a better ally. The staff members are enthusiastic, courteous and professional. It was a stellar experience!

Go to this museum! The Beck Cultural Exchange Center is a treasure. Learn about Black history in Knoxville. The artifacts are displayed beautifully. The tour is comprehensive and highlights the museum's mission to be the place that people go to learn, discover and experience the rich legacy of African Americans inside a vibrant Cultural Corridor in Knoxville. I will return.

Celebrating 150 years of Knoxville College Tradition, October 4, 2025...

I was able to go with a program at UTK and this was such an enriching center. I was not aware of the history of Easy Tennessee and Knoxville, and am so happy I was able to go to Beck!

The Beck Cultural Exchange Center is one of the largest African American Historical Museum. This beautiful black history non-profit museum has so many preserved African-American artifacts and exhibits. It’s a great place for visitors from all across America, to explore our African- American Cultural every day.

We had brunch at Calhoun‘s on the River and walked through the. park to the Neyland Stadium for the 2025 UAB versus Tennessee football game. Aside from the nice views views of the river and all of the large boats decked out in orange Tennessee paraphernalia lined up on the river for the game, there are also places where you can sit down and enjoy the views. There are also several artificial rock formations with waterfalls adding a tranquil element to walk.

Wonderful surprise of a place. Easy parking, peaceful atmosphere and beautiful surroundings. Loved the bench swings available for park visitors. Surprisingly clean bathrooms. Took my bike off the car and rode around town with this park as my base. Great choice to spend my time in Knoxville here.

Decided to stop by here on the way home. Im so glad I did. This place is absolutely beautiful . I love the walking trail on it. The swings the waterfalls. The old train the beauty bridges. I bet its more pretty at night I recommend stopping if you have the time.

Amazing views very quiet in the afternoon on the weekday! I couldve stayed there all day looking at the river!

As a tourist, it’s great to see something like this near downtown. We went there walking, and had a great time watching the boats and bridges. The only thing I can say that needs improvement is the restrooms are they were really dirty, but besides that all is great.

Nice river park. Has a bridge to get over to it. Nice bathrooms that are clean.

Nice place for a stroll along the riverside

I love the Blue Plate Special. Make sure to tune in to the show!

Been listening, and occasionally attending, the Blue Plate Special for 20 years. They have introduced me to some amazing songwriters and musicians. Absolutely love this station!

Live music at noon six days a week at noon for the Blue Plate Special. Other regularly scheduled live music at least three other venues in Knoxville, all being Webcast around the world. Excellent support for and relationships with local musicians. Important connecting point for musicians and music lovers.

You can stop by and hear live music like the incredible Crimson Calamity every day at noon...truly an amazing Knoxville Visitor Center and the best radio WDVX!!!

We make it a point to go to the Blue Plate Special when we are in town. Downtown Knoxville is such a neat town and we love the live music at the visitor center. Check out Mast General Store afterwards.

My whole group of 8 people, ages 5 to 74 had a wonderful experience. After the performance we found excellent gifts representing Knoxville and Tennessee.

Their Blue Plate Special is always great to go to and see good talent. I just wish they would put more power behind their signal. They tend to come in weak on the radio....

Nice area for bike riders!! Small but nice playground..clean an open area!!

Loved this park! Great for all ages. We rode the trails, played around on the skills courses, and our toddler played on the bike path.

Cool place for the whole family.!

Cool

Great place for mountain biking

I really liked the buckweat one loaded with veggies and feta cheese, but the salmon one was way too salty for me. The bavarian cream one was a bit too sweet for my taste. At first, the line looked crazy long ,but it´s all self service so that explains it and the turnover is pretty fast.

Meh. I have been to better crepe places. The menu has good varieties but there is no uniqueness to it. The gal who took our order appeared to have seen better days I had the roast beef crepes (pictured) and my bf has ham & cheese crepe. The ham & cheese was very basic, no effort at all to elevate the dish. The roast beef looks better but taste wise nothing super tasty The cafe decor was alright Again nothing unique about this place.

Very cute gem in downtown Knoxville. Has a very cool aesthetic and the crêpes were delicious. The lemon crêpe with the whipped cream was absolutely delicious. I was visiting from San Diego and this place actually reminds me of a really tasty crêpe spot in Palm Springs.

Great find in downtown Knoxville! Small cafe with an EXTENSIVE menu. Very delicious. Very busy, but they keep things moving. Plenty of seating. Food, drinks and service are all exceptional. Highly recommend.

I feel like I am back in Paris ! To The owners - C’est Magnifique! The breakfast Parisian is excellent ! Pairs well with their Bloody Mary & Lavazza cafe! Great way to start the day ! It’s an our little piece of Paris Paradise in Knoxville ! Top Notch ! The ambiance is parfait!

Delicious crepes - both sweet and savory! Fun, well-appointed space with great atmosphere. 100% will return :)

Very popular spot in downtown as the line was out the door when we went but it moved quickly. Our crepe was on the thicker side but filled really well & our coffees were pretty good too! :)

Very nice gardens. Easily walkable paths and most plant species have identification labels. Cost is free but donations accepted. Dedicated parking behind Vet School. Also has a very neat children's area with tunnels, hobbit mounds and shady seating areas. Plant selection is great and I can see they planned for extended blooming during the warm seasons.

What a super place to meet old friends living far apart. We ate lunch nearby and then spent a couple of hours wandering through the plants, trees, and flowers. Beautiful layout! Trails are accessible for all. There were so many places to sit and visit tucked within the gardens. I just loved it. And a children's play area. Loved the Bunny theme. A great place to enjoy a quick picnic lunch or wander for hours. Highly recommend.

I love my little town, y’all. I love that this place is so easily accessible, with shaded areas to sit and eat while fans gently blow, the peaceful sound of koi fish gliding through the water, the sight of gorgeous okra growing, bunnies happily snacking, and tomatoes ripening on the vine. I truly feel so blessed to be here and couldn’t be prouder to call Knoxville Tennessee home. I can’t help but wonder what they’ll dream up next after these charming bunnies, and discovering them and reading about their stories has been such a sweet and endearing experience.
