“Sunsphere is a 266-feet-high hexagonal steel truss structure, topped with a 75-feet gold-colored glass sphere that served as the 1982 World's Fair symbol. The fourth level of the Sunsphere houses the Observation Deck and contributes a 360-degree view of the original 1982 World's Fair site downtown Knoxville, the University of Tennessee, the Tennessee River, and the Smoky Mountains. Sunsphere and the Amphitheater are the only two remaining elements of the 1982 World's Fair. Guests can also explore a timeline, gallery, memorabilia, and gift shop from the fair. Sunsphere is free to the public daily, and hours change based on the season.”
