Not sure on the weekends. It's open to the public, so anyone or any group can just ride on up. I don't think there's any kind of admission charge. Pretty soon they'll be putting a restaurant back up there, which will be cool.

My father is from Knoxville and we lived in West Palm Beach, FL at the time. We made the trip up here and I remember the carnival ride area the most. My parents left me in there in charge of the littler kids while they went to the 'beer tent'. We now live in Lenoir City and I have wanted to take my kids to see the sunsphere for a long time. I have heard it is reopened. Is this true? I have a home school group that I set up field trips for and would love to arrange one to the sunsphere! Can you give me any information or a contact phone number? I sure would appreciate any help in this matter. Thanks, Patty Leach 988-5800 home 604-2070 cell teamleach@yahoo.com Hi,
