Visit the observation deck for a great view of Knoxville. From the city's website: The Sunsphere was constructed for the 1982 World's Fair and during that time, it served as the symbol to the Fair. It was also home to a full service restaurant and the Observation Deck, which cost $2.00 for the elevator ride up for a visit. The Sunsphere closed to the public with the Fair's end and remained vacant or underutilized for most of its post-fair life. The Sunsphere and the Tennessee Amphitheater are the only structures that remain from the 1982 World's Fair.

"3rd time staying here. We always get the panoramic suite which is big and comfortable. The road noise is not desirable but don’t know how that can be fixed without spending a fortune on sound proof windows. It’s worth it in my opinion to get them Tennessean."
