Top 10 Kid Friendly Things To Do and Attractions in Dandridge

"If you’d like a little bit of entertainment with your dessert, let the team at Curl de la Crème wow you with their ice cream-making skills. The show starts with your selection of a base flavor, like Oreo, banana, or Fruity Pebbles, plus all the mix-ins you could ever want. Then, they pour out the base on the icy stainless steel surface and start working in your additions."

"Liquid creme is transformed into ice cream right before your eyes!. Choose from 3 base flavors and watch as the creme is spread over a freezing counter and turned into ice cream almost instantly. Then, the ice cream is rolled into a ribbon and placed in a cup."

"Need to blow off some steam but aren’t up for trekking through the Smokies?. A few hours at TopJump Trampoline & Extreme Arena will do the trick. Created with both kids and adults in mind, this indoor trampoline park has activities including a climbing adventure, trampoline dodgeball, an air bag, and an open jump area."

"Before dinner, we made our way to World’s Fair Park to check into the Tennessean Hotel, which just opened in April next door to the Holiday Inn. The rooms are airy and gorgeous with some stunning works of art, and we had a view of the park below us. We were also just a five-minute walk from Market Square, so we left our car valeted at the hotel for much of the week and explored Knoxville by foot."

"Victor Ashe Park is about a twenty minute drive from where I live, and it wasn’t really on my radar until I met a friend there. This park kicked off my curiosity about all of the other awesome local parks I must be missing out on. While it doesn’t have a splash pad, it has a terrific playground for kids of all ages, a pavilion, an amazing walking trail that goes a little over half a mile around the playground and an enormous field in the middle (4 soccer fields worth — perfect for kite flying), as well as a dog park!"

"If you’re with a real competitive crowd, take your picnic out to Victor Ashe. You’ll find sand volleyball, sports fields, and the most impressive disc golf course Knox County has to offer. Set up a picnic spot at one of their tables, and grab some fuel at the concession stand if you’re still hungry after a game."

"James White was the founder of Knoxville, and now you can see how he would have lived by visiting his former house, known as the James White Fort. The home is the perfect place to learn all about frontier life, and you can enjoy hands on displays here like cooking, spinning, and even blacksmith workshops. There are also special holiday events here at this working life museum such as ghost tours around Halloween, so make sure to check out what is on when you are in town."

"This extravagant house is sometimes called the Confederate Memorial Hall, and it’s one of the most visited historic sites in Knoxville. It was originally gifted as a wedding present to Congressman Robert Houston Armstrong and Louise Franklin. It also served as the Confederate army headquarters during the Siege of Knoxville; bullet holes in some of the walls are a vivid reminder of its wartime past."

"Located just outside of Sevierville in nearby Kodak, the Russell Stover Retail Store is a chocoholic’s dream come true. The vast shop has clearly earned its outlet label, as its prices are far better than anything you’d find at the grocery store or your local confectionary. The blooper section is especially worth examining, as it features all kinds of delicious candies steeply discounted due to minor defects."

"Edible cookie dough has exploded in popularity over the last couple of years, and with places such as Knox Dough offering up delectable bites of chocolatey goodness, it’s easy to see why. Another somewhat new innovation in the world of sweets?. Rolled ice cream, which is also on the menu at Knox Dough."

"Knoxville is home to the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame, a must-visit attraction for all sports fans. The Hall of Honor is where guests will find notable players of the game, however, it’s the interactive exhibits that really keep visitors coming back. Test your dribbling and passing skills on the interactive play areas."

"The Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame is one of the fun things to do in Knoxville, Tennessee. On its rooftop, you’ll see the biggest basketball in the world, making it easily spotted from far away. It’s a great place to get inspired and a spot in the city that sports lovers shouldn’t miss."
