World's Fair Park
Visit the observation deck for a great view of Knoxville. From the city's website: The Sunsphere was constructed for the 1982 World's Fair and during that time, it served as the symbol to the Fair. It was also home to a full service restaurant and the Observation Deck, which cost $2.00 for the elevator ride up for a visit. The Sunsphere closed to the public with the Fair's end and remained vacant or underutilized for most of its post-fair life. The Sunsphere and the Tennessee Amphitheater are the only structures that remain from the 1982 World's Fair.

"The staff were very nice and the hotel appeared clean but the hallways to the rooms smelled. The beds were not very comfortable and the pillows were even worse. The room we were in was city side and the noise was very loud. You can hear the cars all day and night."
