We checked out the museum, a food spot, a few spots around town, and this (garden)? They have a ton of space and there is a thoughtful layout. The trail to walk through a forest area is probably the best thing about the place. Worth a stop? Maybe, but realize that this botanical gardens has a long way to go before it's ready for primetime. Being a smaller market, I assume it's a funding issue. There were some workers/volunteers there trying to make the place alluring and presentable. This will be an asset to Knoxville as/if it gets built out with a clear vision.

Growing up in Knoxville i always experienced the Dogwood Arts Festival in Market Square Mall. I…read morehave been extracted from Knoxville for 14+ years. Needless to say I (as well as my Mom) was surprised that the Festival shifted to World's Fair Park. It is much BIGGER than I remember. I guess Market Square wasn't big enough to handle all these cool booths. Honestly it is much less "Fair Like" then the Washington County Fair in Hillsboro. No rides and unnecessary fried food. Mostly cool art, tons of crafts, and I was able to grab a cool shady spot to chill and write my review. I was really hoping to spot one of my old(er) friends from Knoxville while I was walking around. I don't usually last long at these festivals...my interest seems to wain fairly quickly, but people watching is fun too. Kinda reminds me of sitting on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan. Yup it always comes back to New York. Y'all come back now, ya hear?

There are differing categories of chalk art with winners are chosen at the end of the day (and labeled as such). There are food trucks and other vendors selling goods and often activities for the littles, and live music to enjoy. Just note that it gets crowded on the Sat. of the event and if you want to avoid that (and it hasn't rained, go the day after to enjoy the art walk without the heavy crowds.

This time of year is especially beautiful with the holiday light show that you can drive through. The light show is open nightly until 10pm to drive through and enjoy the display of holiday lights.

Bring your baskets back to weigh & pay when you're done. The ripe blackberries are usually gone by midday, but there are plenty of blueberry bushes to wander through & pick from on the days they're open. They don't spray their bushes with anything, and the blueberries are delicious! It can get pretty hot in the middle of the day, so most people go in the morning or evening, though many of the bushes are tall & thick enough that you can find some shaded areas to pick in if you want.

Their collection of over 20,000 salt and pepper shakers is so well curated!! They are grouped by theme and so totally organized! You just can't see everything the first time you go but at only $3.75 a person you can go back over and over. They give you a $3 discount in the store if you buy anything the day you visit. Such a fun kitschy place!

Apparently there are a lot of people out there that like salt and pepper shakers. It is only $3 per person to check out this museum with over 20,000 sets of shakers. And even better, there is a gift shop at the end and if you buy something they give you a $3 credit :) We spent almost an hour there and it was fantastic. And it was super fun to see that some of the shakers in their collection I actually had in my own collection. Definitely a fun stop if you are in the area!

The drive thru tour of seeing all the animals and feeding them from inside the wagon is so fun…read more There are goats, deer, ram, cows, longhorn steer and even a yak. All the animals are very docile and can easily eat from your hand. A lot of them are big cuddle babies according to the staff.The feed bucket is a good size to feed all the animals. The staff is good at rotating the animals so you get a chance to feed them all They also have a walk in area to see animals, a highland cow session you can book, a zip line and a self controlled mountain coaster. The highlight for me was Dozer the sweet highland cow and the baby alpaca. Thanks Skyland Ranch for the fun morning

I've been to a lot of places in Gatlinburg that are considered tourist traps. Well, I'm glad I was…read more"trapped" into this place! The majority of the attractions are not worth the money spent, but Hollywood Star Cars is worth every penny. It's one of the best places to check out! My daughter and I had a blast here! Whoever is in charge of obtaining the stars cars and organizing how they are displayed in this building, has done an incredible job! It was jam packed of so many to view, and they were so easy to recognize. They were displayed in settings where they were used in TV shows or movies. They also had the stars pictures and details about them, when they displayed their individual cars. It's such a cool feeling to be near a vehicle that stars have actually driven. It's the closest I'll ever get to them, some deceased, like Elvis Presley. It also makes me happy that these vehicles have been preserved for museum purposes, instead of being destroyed. Anyway, if you're trying to choose which place to go to, I would certainly choose this place. I plan to go again, because they said they switch the cars out pretty often. Young and older people will enjoy it, and everyone can relate to the cars displayed. I related more to the ones that were the older stars, and the cars that were used in the older movies and tv shows. But, my daughter related to the old and new. She's an "old soul," because she watches shows and listens to music that her father and I grew up with, but she also stays abreast of all the modern stuff. So, she enjoyed it, even more than I did. And, that's saying a lot, because I enjoyed it a whole lot!

This place was very nice me and my little brother both went there and we had a blast. It was very…read morecool seeing all of the cars from movies that I didn't and celebrities cars that they had once rode in like Michael Jackson. The walls are very cool and decorative. Staff were very nice and helpful with everything. It was also cool how when the showed the car it had like lights sounds and decorations. And don't be worried if you're handicapped or in a wheelchair you can have nice access to the 2nd floor or take the stairs. If you ever go to Gatlinburg I would recommend this place to anyone. Favorite car was the Twister car which had lights and sound. Would give 10/10 if there were 10 stars.
