Love the concept (arcade, billiards, food, beer, and music all at one place). Small enough so you can turn your children loose to play arcade games and not feel they will get lost. Big enough with the high ceiling to feel like you're in a large restaurant/bar but without all the drunks. It's bright, family friendly but still adult enough to have fun if you don't have children. Amanda, Josh, and all the employees are polite and competent. Cool place to go if you're a nerd too. "ham solo" I mean come on, that's genius. Plenty of things to look at for anyone who enjoys a little nerd culture. The food portions are large too. I have never been there when I didn't need a take home box, so bring your appetite!

I've visited the Hands On Discovery Center before and always thought it was a decent but fairly…read moresmall children's attraction. Unfortunately our most recent experiences were frustrating. We first drove out on a Monday because the door sign and online listings indicated they were open, but the building was closed when we arrived. When we came back later in the week around 4:30 PM (they close at 5), we were told admission would still be full price for both the child and the supervising parent ($22 for 30 minutes). For a museum that recommends spending 1-2 hours there, paying full admission for roughly 30 minutes didn't make much sense, especially when parents are mostly supervising rather than using the exhibits themselves. Other kid-focused play spaces in the area either don't charge adults or adjust pricing near closing time. In past visits we've also noticed that some interactive exhibits were not functioning, which makes the experience feel smaller than it probably intends to be. The concept is great and the fossil site connection is interesting, but the hours, pricing structure, and maintenance of exhibits could use some attention. With a few improvements this could be a much stronger destination for families in the Tri-Cities area.

We had a nice chat about the Gray Fossil Center, over outside. They just dug up a new red panda skull. The entire walkthrough the building was really informative and fun. Exhibits were super cool as well. We also saw one of the Tesla Coil shows, and it was short but radical. Show lasts about 15-17 minutes and you watch the tesla coil play music with noise cancelling headphones and i'll leave that up to you to judge if it's entertaining or not, but I thought it was. This place is satisfactory alright. Very cool.

I also loved that they have the speakers still that you can hang on your window - the last couple drive-ins I've been to had removed them so it was exciting as I love them for nostalgia purposes as well as prefer using them over tuning in in the car. Overall I do plan to be back! Even between buying a couple snacks and the ticket the cost was less than half of what I last spent at the movie theater. Great for a personal night out to unwind or an easy and cheap trip out with the family

He took time with my son and me to help us feel comfortable with the equipment, and helped us get set up in some different games. The VR experience was very immersive and realistic.

But overall a good experience and we will very likely go back again.

It was very nice. Because we are AARP, AAA members we got a discounted rate of $4 per person for a guided tour of the house and property. The museum was free to enjoy History: The Tipton-Haynes State Historic Site tells the rich story of the history of Northeast Tennessee and of the several families that lived here. The site includes 45 acres, eleven historic buildings, the Tipton/Gifford/Simerly cemetery, a limestone cave, a natural spring, a buffalo trace, a nature trail, and a Visitor Center. The Visitor Center contains a permanent exhibit, museum store, educational spaces, a library, and archives. Purchasing the site in 1784, Colonel John Tipton (1730-1813) moved from Shenandoah County, Virginia to settle in what was then Washington County, North Carolina. For the next four years, the formation and decline of the State of Franklin became an important issue for the area and the life of Colonel Tipton, who stayed loyal to North Carolina. In February of 1788, the Battle of the State of Franklin turned the peaceful home of Colonel Tipton's into a battle ground for Franklin independence. Colonel Tipton would later help with the development of Tennessee becoming the 16th state of the Union before retiring from public life. After his father's death, John Tipton, Jr. (1767-1831) inherited the property. Before moving to Washington County, Tipton, Jr. was already a successful state legislator and wealthy land owner in Blountville, Tennessee. Tipton, Jr. expanded his father's cabin in the 1820s, making it a Federal style farmhouse. While attending the 19th General Assembly, he died in Nashville. The heirs of John Tipton, Jr. sold the property to David and Rhoda Haynes in 1837. For a wedding gift, David and Rhoda gave the property to Landon Carter Haynes (1816-1875), their oldest son, in 1839. That year, Landon had married Eleanor Powell. In the 1850s, he expanded the former Tipton home into how it appears today. Haynes is best known for being a Confederate senator, but was also a state legislator, politician, farmer, newspaper editor, Methodist minister, and attorney. Losing his home during the Civil War, Haynes moved to and lived the rest of his life in Memphis, Tennessee. The site would eventually return to the Haynes family when, on May 1, 1882, Sarah L. Gifford Simerly (1847-1935) purchased the property. Sarah was the niece of Landon Carter Haynes.
