Longview Ranch was such a treat to visit with our youth group!…read more The venue is the perfect size for groups under 125. It is located in a much forgotten about area of beautiful East Tennessee, tucked away just a few miles off the interstate. Multiple times on the drive there (about 1:15 from Knoxville) my breath was taken away at the scenery and gorgeousness of the farm land and mountains. The staff at the retreat was TOP NOTCH. It was clear they train and plan very effectively to meet the needs of the groups they are serving. The cabins we used were spacious and very clean. There were 8 bunk beds in each room with a full bathroom. I did not see them, but I understand they have very nice housing quarters for people like guest speakers, etc. The food was fantastic and exceeding all of my expectations for "camp food." I hope we are able to return here for many more years to come!

We enjoyed our hike - from car, to falls and back was a little over 3 miles. It is a great hike but…read morebring a walking stick to help navigate some of the rocky areas- you do cross a creek but the rocks were easy to cross without getting wet and were not slippery. On the way down you really tend to enjoy the views - because you aren't focused on getting to the end ;) my husband and I - are out of shape lol but it was not that bad of a hike - our daughter , who is an athlete had no issues - but there is a good 30 ye diff between us ha! I highly recommend spending a few hours enjoying nature ;)

I used to bring my kids to this park fairly often when they were younger. It's a nice park for…read morechildren up to the age of about 6-7. There are two decent sized play sets, baby swings, regular swings and a zip line/monkey bar set. There is a nice pavilion with tables and benches in the middle of the park that people use for picnics, birthday parties and just escaping the heat. Beside the pavilion is a small splash pad with some changing rooms that is ideal for kids up to about 5 or 6. There is another smaller pavilion inside the splash pad that has about 2 or 3 benches. Behind the splash pad is a basketball court and two tennis courts. The downsides to the park: * One of the biggest is that there isn't any natural shade so it gets really hot in the summer * Once your child reaches about age 8, they've pretty much outgrown the splash pad and playground area so the only places left to play are the basketball court and tennis courts that have no pavilion or trees for natural shade so again, those areas get unbearably hot on summer days. * The bathrooms are pretty far off to the side of the park and they aren't always well stocked with toilet paper, soap, towels or a hand dryer. They also have no circulation in them so they feel like a sauna, even on cooler days. All in all, it's a decent park if you're looking for a place for your little one to run around and get some energy out for a little while.

Lots of baby animals too: several baby primates, a baby camel and baby giraffe. When there is successful procreation you know that a zoo is doing a good job. The actual enclosures were practical, not exotic. But that tells me that the money is going towards animal care not the spectators. The biggest surprise was the variety of Giraffe species."Mr. UMBER" was rare to my eyes. Also a thank you to the team that set up a water misting system on a hot August day.
