This is a nice park. I was here during the Brewer's Jam and it was a good space, very clean, and a lovely view of the Sun Sphere.

Going to the park is a nice break from traveling. The sunsphere offers a wonderful view of the city and is free. Art museum is close to the park and is also free. Once you are parked in the lot of the World's Fair Park, within walking distance, you can hop on one of the free trolleys to check out... More

Great playground for kids on site, benches, some walking paths, nice place to picnic or just get a break from driving on your way through. Easy to access from the freeway.

The park it's self was nothing special, with a distinct lack of grass and abundance of concrete pavements and sitting areas. The decorative pool/pond had been drained and was just a slightly moldy looking shell running through the centre of the park. Walking across the train tracks to see the Russian sculpture was nice, its a beautiful piece of artwork.... More

There are sidewalks to take great strolls in the park. During the summer there is a HUGE water fountain for kids to play in. And there is a playround right beside it with plenty of shaded areas to sit down and cool off!! Highly recommend!!

Be sure to take a trip to the top of the Sunsphere. It's free! just walk up and hop on the elevator at the base. Take it to the level 4 observation deck in the sphere for a 360 view of the city!

...so not much going on outside, but it was still interesting to drive around and imagine 11 million visitors seeing exhibits from nations around the world. Stop and get out and walk through the East Tennessee Veterans Memorial. The Sunsphere nearby is interesting, and free.
