It's incredible to see just how much time, effort and money it must have taken to convert a cave into a concert venue of such quality. Although less developed, it was equally impressive to visit the larger cave accompanied with the expert knowledge of the tour guide. I hope to have the opportunity to actually attend a concert here soon as well!

You'd think that paying for a ghost tour that you'd actually hear ghost stories but nope, we didn't…read morehear a single story of ghosts or ghost sighting. What we did hear was the ramblings of a high college student - literally whatever popped into her head to share. Some of it was slightly historic to Knoxville but most of it was about her friends in town, dead birds she's seen, or constantly asking if anyone ELSE had any stories to share. We reached out to the company for a refund and received a rude reply and a denial of any kind of refund. Save your money and re-watch Sixth Sense if you want a spooky evening. The only thing scary here was how awful the tour was.

There's lots of juicy stuff that they aren't going to share just anywhere. Most importantly, it's super cool that you get to investigate these historically significant sites with tools that you see on TV and even in movies. You feel a little closer to the subject. It gets your heart pumping with anticipation, and it's addictive! I highly recommend this for all ages!

Been driving through this part of Tennessee for the last 10 years or so and have been wanting to…read morevisit here that whole time. Finally made it. I've have visited 3 other shuttered prisons over the years and they all are pretty neat. This one was physically the smallest but was very impressive. We did like most folks and did the self guided tour. Took us about 2 hours and I think we visited everything that was open. They claimed that former staff or guides would be around to answer questions- sadly I never seen anyone. Now reasoning for my rating was based on not seeing staff for questions as well as the price. I know it's a neat historic place but $25 a person was a bit high. They did offer a small discount for military but again a self guided tour for $25 was a bit much. So I do recommend this historic place. But be aware of the cost and that your questions might not be answered.

We waited until the weather got nicer and more restaurants were open after the pandemic. Pamela was kind, knowledgeable, and interspersed the history of Knoxville and various buildings/restaurants as we went on our walking tour down Gay Street and Market Square. We stopped and had tastings (appetizers/small meals) at three local restaurants, tea tasting at a local tea shop, and dessert over 3 hours. The portions were more than enough to enjoy without being uncomfortable by the end of the tour. I highly recommend Pamela and her food tour. We are locals and still learned a lot and got to try new things. Would make for a great date or fun day out with friends!

It's actually worth watching as the employees are featured in the video and the dramatization of situations are pretty funny. I'm pretty sure I said "oh wow" about 40 times and "that's so cool" at least 20 times. If you have any interest/appreciation of nature, the formations in the cave will not disappoint. It will impress you with regard to size, and the huge chandelier and story behind it was very cool. We enjoyed our tour. It was just our little 3 person family so it was like having a private tour. We knew nothing about this cave when we arrived, but we left with a lot of interesting facts. If you're looking for an interesting place to spend an afternoon, I would highly recommend this place!

I was able to snag a burger from the Abridged Truck at Xul. What I consider to be the best smashy-burger in all of Knoxville. We all had time to snag a pint at the brewery but it was a grab and go type of thing. The tour guide Ace kept us on schedule and we all enjoyed our samples and quick history and brewing lessons wrapped into the tour.
