Top Ijams Nature Center Hotel Reviews

Marriott Knoxville Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great location!"

THE TENNESSEAN Hotel

8/10 Good

"Overpriced. Other wise good."

Ancient Lore Village

10/10 Excellent

"My husband did the paid archery and ax throwing. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. We did the meal and they provide very good tender pork roast, potatoes, carrots and salad. All were GF. They provided a GF dessert as well. The bar was limited but had a good selection. They have outside games but the heat was too much for us to enjoy. The cabin was super cute but not much more to see if you are looking for a day of it."
