La Quinta by Wyndham Loudon

The kids will love learning about flowers, plants and all the other natural wonders that inhabit the Knoxville Botanical Gardens and Arboretum. This 44-acre garden features an historic landscape that is adorned with foliage and plants that are not only indigenous to the area, but also combine to create a natural oasis that is as relaxing as it is beautiful. There is also a plant nursery on site that houses even more picturesque greenery.

A truly compelling cross-section of history is collected at the Frank H. McClung Museum. You'll want to set aside a whole afternoon to take in the various exhibits that range from extensive collections in archeology, natural history, anthropology, medicine, art, and local history. See special presentations and pieces that focus on the area's prehistoric times all the way to the present. The incredibly well-thought out exhibits and pieces make this far-reaching history lesson one that you will never forget.

A growing number of Knoxville music lovers are going all classic, or make that classical, when they enjoy one of the many fine performances of the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra. This group of highly talented musicians works hard year round to make sure that each performance is a display of consummate musicianship and entertainment. Such presentations as All Beethoven, a special family concert, and sharing the stage with Michael Feinstein are just a few of the recent endeavors that the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra has worked on, with more unforgettable shows to come. Don't miss a note!
