"The Tennessee Theater dates from 1928 when it was charmingly referred to as a ‘movie palace’. Nowadays the theater is still an icon thanks to its Spanish-Moorish style of architecture, and you will find period antiques here like the original crystal chandeliers as well as marble floors and Asian textiles. If you are looking for some culture in Knoxville, then this is one of the best places to find it, as you can expect classic films, musical concerts, and Broadway shows."
"Check out one of Knoxville’s famed theaters, which host movies, symphonies, stage plays, operas, and more contemporary musical performances. The beautifully restored Tennessee Theatre is one of the best, as it’s home to the Knoxville Symphony and opera company and shows classic movies. It was built in 1928 and was considered Knoxville’s first skyscraper."
"Knoxville Children’s Theater is known for being one of the best places to bring youngsters if you are in town. The theater is located in the historic downtown area of Tennessee and aims to celebrate culture and the arts through a series of performances by children, for children. You can enjoy a diverse range of shows, from more serious pieces, to musicals, and if you want you can even attend a class or a workshop here."
"The Knoxville Children’s Theater can be found in the city’s downtown area and has the goal of providing fun shows for children, performed by children!. It’s one of this Tennessee city’s most wonderful things to see, with diverse show options that introduce kids to the arts in friendly and exciting ways. A big of a hidden gem, the unassuming buildings of the Children’s Theater holds a multitude of whimsy within."
"If you’re bringing the little ones along, the Children’s Theatre might be a bit more age-appropriate than some other performance venues in town. Plus, all of their shows are put on by children!. Not only does this place provide the little actors with essential life skills like public speaking, teamwork, and self-confidence, they create some much-needed family entertainment."
"Unlike the other venues on this list, whose comedy nights are likely found by people on the Facebook events tab, shows at the Bijou Theatre are advertised on marquee signs. The theater has a seedy past, once acting as a place to see pornographic films, but has since classed up. It now hosts a variety of major comedy acts including Fred Armisen, Aziz Ansari and Michelle Wolf, all within the past six months."
"But inside is a 700-seat auditorium that is one of Knoxville’s premier performance spaces, with big-name musicians and comedians selling out shows in the historic theater."
"Then there’s the Clarence Brown Theatre on the University of Tennessee campus, which has a 500-seat auditorium that showcases its most popular stage shows. There’s also a much smaller black box theater for more experimental performances."
"The Sweet Fanny Adams Theatre stages zany comedies that are reminiscent of the Carol Burnett Show and Monty Python’s Flying Circus. The Iris Theater at the Gatlinburg Space Needle is another wonderful destination for live entertainment in Gatlinburg. The Iris is currently hosting Impossibilities: An Evening of Magic, Mindreading, and Mayhem."

"Located on 47-acres of the former Howell Nurseries just five minutes from Holston River Park , The Knoxville Botanical Garden and Arboretum has a lot going on and even more attractions coming soon, including a butterfly meadow and outdoor classroom. On the northwest side of Wimpole Avenue, wedding parties, professional photographers, and tour groups traipse amongst the transportive stone terraces and gatehouses near the KGBA Visitor's Center, escaping to a whimsical land pulled from the mind of stonemason Joe Howell. This is easily the most picturesque part of the gardens, with wide meandering lawns stretching between impressive stonework and booming flowerbeds."
"In East Knoxville, the Knoxville Botanical Garden and Arboretum was founded to preserve the Howell family’s history, who owned the property in the late 1700s. American Revolutionary War veteran David Howell planted an orchard, where he began selling fruits and vegetables to local families. He also started selling trees, seeds and small plants to westbound settlers."
