At Foxiepass, we're passionate about showcasing the best of Knoxville, and we've got a lineup of guided tours that'll knock your socks off!
Dive into Knoxville's Past and Present
First stop on our whirlwind tour? The iconic Sunsphere! This golden globe isn't just a pretty face – it's a symbol of Knoxville's hosting of the 1982 World's Fair. Trust me, the view from up there is absolutely breathtaking. You'll feel like you're on top of the world (or at least on top of Knoxville)!
Speaking of history, we can't forget about the East Tennessee History Center. It's like stepping into a time machine, folks! From the early settlers to the Civil War and beyond, you'll get the inside scoop on what makes this region tick. And let me tell you, some of these stories will have you on the edge of your seat!
Nature Lovers, Rejoice!
Now, if you're anything like me and can't resist the call of the wild, you're in for a treat. Ijams Nature Center is a slice of paradise right in the heart of the city. With over 315 acres of protected wildlife habitat, you might just forget you're in an urban area. Keep your eyes peeled for local critters – I once saw a family of deer having what looked like a picnic!
And let's not forget about the Tennessee River. Our riverboat tours are the perfect way to see Knoxville from a different perspective. There's something magical about gliding along the water, watching the city skyline shimmer in the distance. It's especially gorgeous at sunset – talk about romantic!
For the Culture Vultures
Alright, art enthusiasts, this one's for you. The Knoxville Museum of Art is a feast for the eyes. From contemporary masterpieces to works by local artists, there's something here for everyone. And the best part? Our tour guides know all the juicy details about the artworks and the artists behind them.
Music lovers, we've got you covered too! The historic Tennessee Theatre is a must-visit. This grand old dame has seen it all, from vaudeville shows to silent films, and now hosts everything from Broadway shows to concerts. The ornate interior alone is worth the visit – it's like stepping back in time to the roaring twenties!
Foodie Paradise
Now, I hope you've brought your appetite because Knoxville's food scene is off the charts. Our culinary tours will take you on a mouthwatering journey through the city's best eateries. From down-home Southern comfort food to innovative fusion cuisine, your taste buds are in for a wild ride. And don't even get me started on the barbecue – it's so good, it should be illegal!
