Knoxville's Bennett Galleries has been consistently voted the city's favorite art gallery. The enterprise was established in 1976 as a custom frame shop and it evolved into a place where artists could express themselves both on canvas as well as in the areas of interior design and even jewelry creation. All of these spheres are seamlessly combined, as Bennett Galleries not only secures some of the area's most impressive art, they also can turn a room in your house into a work of art, too.

The Ewing Gallery, located on the campus of the University of Tennessee, is an impressive venue that features over 3,000 square feet of exhibition space and 300 running feet of wall space that are all perfectly utilized to present some memorable works of art. Contemporary artists and architects have their creations on display, and the permanent collection features various styles rendered in different media. The one thing these pieces all have in common is that they are as captivating as they are thought-provoking. This is a must-see for any art-lover.

Fountain Lanes Strike and Spare Family Bowling is a great place to get the family together and enjoy some fun in a very impressive entertainment facility. Get your game on when you let the ball roll down one of the 36 synthetic lanes. A digital scoring system, lots of choices at the full-service grill and a great drink menu all ensure that you'll enjoy every one of your frames! There's also an impressively-stocked pro shop and an arcade for the kids, too!

Knoxville had the honor of hosting the World's Fair in 1982. One of the most obvious reminders of that momentous event is the fact that the Sunsphere was built to complement the event and it still stands today as a great way for tourists to get a bird's eye view of the city. Visit the various levels and enjoy views of downtown, the University of Tennessee and the mountains in the distance. It's a truly breathtaking experience. Other attractions include The Candy Factory, a group of Victorian homes that house shops selling arts and crafts, and Fort Kid that is a playground featuring historically-themed rides and play areas. The celebration of the World's Fair clearly still echoes at this fun, family-friendly attraction in Knoxville.
