Lovely place ! They have so many great things going on there. Educational series for kids, even for homeschoolers. Many trails you can do. I even took a basket weaving class there once years ago. Inside you can see a few live animals, turtles and such, and they have more educational things inside to see and a very nice gift shop. During the summer they have a flower festival and they also have several other events.

Ijams Nature Center is a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of Knox County and get back to nature. There are paths to hike, animals and plants to observe, and extremely nice people to meet. And the best part is that it is free. This is a great place to have a birthday party or just take your children for a day rather than the mall. Kids can learn a lot spending time here. They also host summer day camps while kids are out of school to keep them off the couch and in nature.

Ijams is close to downtown yet peaceful and serene. This is a great place for a short day hike or just a casual outdoor stroll. There is a nice facility with nature and science information and it is extremely kid friendly. There is plenty of parking and several well maintained trails to choose from. Be sure to stop by the visitors center and get all the trail information before beginning especially if you have a disability or health concern. The hikes are fairly easy, but trails can be slick if it has recently rained. Ijams is also a great place for a party or other special event. Free.
