DH and I are going to be there for just a few days-March 6th-9th; Is there anything worth seeing or doing there? Suggestions of good eateries?
Thank You

Will you have a car, or are you flying in and using a taxi or shuttle? If you will have a car, you really should plan on going to the Smokies (mountains) - well worth the hour or so to get there from K'ville. Gatlinburg, Cades Cove etc. are beautiful.

We haven't lived there for ~20 years, so I can't tell you about restaurants, other than there were some really good ones back then.

Mexican restaurant = La Paz on Kingston Pike.
Chinese restaurant = Mandarin House - voted best for many years - behind West Towne Mall.

I agree with GoVols about going to Cades Cove. It's a beautiful place and you will likely see herds of deer and of course, horses and cows. Maybe even a lone bear...

The University of TN Agriculture/Horticulture department has really really nice gardens to explore, but I don't know how much will be growing in March.

Here's a website of things to do in Knoxville:

Here's a website from the Chamber of Commerce:

Have fun!
