World's Fair Park
- Park
- Regional draw
- Knoxville
World's Fair Park connects Knoxville's downtown landscape with the legacy of the 1982 international exposition.
The Sunsphere, lawns, and water features make it an accessible point of reference for a city walk, with different spaces suited to pauses, views, and public gatherings.
Treat access to the Sunsphere and other facilities as separate from simply walking through the park. Check current tickets and opening times if an elevated view is a priority. The Tennessee Amphitheater is closed for repairs until spring 2027 or completion of the work, so do not plan around using it.
