Great place for taking photos. Sunsphere was cool besides the dirty windows. Making great photos not possible from inside.

Popular places to visit

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.
