My family and I like this park a great deal. It has many trails, something like a limited zoo, containing many rescued animals. A small lake. It is easy to get to. You should look it up if you are in the area and have time.

It's great family fun. They have hiking trails,mt.bike trails and zip line. They also have a planetarium shows. They have a small zoo. It's $5.00 per car to get in. Two look out towers with great views of the park and of surrounding areas.

I really adore this whole place! It's a wonderful resource for those who are looking for a beautiful hike, an educational field trip, or a great place to have a picnic. The trails and picnic areas always seem well maintained.

This is one of best places I got to go to while I visited Tennessee. A must see if your in that part of Tennessee. My son and I loved it.

Great family place to adventure. Relatively cheap. About a third of the exhibits were either being worked on, transition into being moved into or just missing. Still fun and a beautiful view of local wildlife.

The nicest people and most beautiful park. Bring your hiking shoes and spend some time with nature. I recommend the lake side path but for a challenge take Cherry knobs all the way to the quary. Great views, knowledgeable staff, and real care are easily found here.

This is the largest city-owned park in Tennessee and the only city-owned nature preserve in the United States. The park has so much to see and do that one day is not enough. Ranger programs vary daily and are lots of fun while being educational. The planetarium shows are fascinating. There's almost 40 miles of hiking and biking trails, including a lakeside trail (our favorite), a longer hike to the fire tower, and a more challenging hike to the peak. The visitor's center has displays about local plants, animals, geology, and upcoming natural events. There are daily barge rides on the lake. More adventurous people can ride the zip line. A more advanced zip line and a ropes course are available by reservation for groups of 8 or more. For those who want to stay closer to the ground, the adventure course, which is a small obstacle course. You could visit with Tennessee's most charming wolf pack or, like we did this week, hang up your backpacking hammock and chill out for a couple of hours for stories and a good book.

I love this place. There are trails to hike. The wolves and other animas. The planaterium and night a day watches. I come here often to relax.

Great trails to hike and bike on. Good place to take your family and offers several opportunities to learn about nature and the universe we live in. If you are planning on going often the season pass they offer is a great value. I'm thankful I have such a beautiful natural place reserved for the public in my immediate area. The only thing that I would complain about is some of the animal enclosures are small especially for the birds but I believe they all have something wrong with them and would not survive in nature.

I've been going to this park since I was a small child and I have been a volunteer for over a decade. It has a ton of hiking and biking trails. The animals: while they aren't always out for viewing are well taken care of. The planetarium is state of the art and provides an awesome and educational show that rotates seasonally. The barge is currently being updated and the barge rides are always fun. I love the animal programs and the adventure/ropes course too. That with the price only being $5 a car you can't beat it for a day of fun.
