Things To Do
Dollywood
Obviously, Dollywood is a must if you enjoy amusement parks or Our Lady of the Smokies. We highly recommend the cinnamon bread.
Great Smoky Mountains National Park
For quick day trips that blend scenic views with optional get-out-and-walk historical sites, we recommend the Cades Cove Loop, Roaring Fork Motor Trail, or Foothills Parkway. Stop by any of the park's visitor centers to pick up a day parking pass.
Market Square
Market Square and nearby Gay and Central Streets host restaurants, boutique shopping, bars, and coffee places.
McClung Museum of Natural History & Culture
McClung Museum is UT's very own FREE Smithsonian Affiliate with exhibits on natural history, art history, and space.
Blount Mansion
Blount Mansion is the oldest extant building in Knoxville and the home of the territorial governor. It is a beautiful house museum and also Megan's old workplace. Ask for Dave!
McKay's Knoxville
McKay's is the pinnacle for book and music lovers. Don't come in with a list--let McKay's tell you what you need. And, if you're driving in and have old books, sell them for trade credit to buy more books!
