The Sunsphere

Knoxville, Tennessee

This iconic 266-foot tower features a massive gold-infused glass sphere, built for the 1982 World's Fair. Visitors can ride to the observation deck for stunning 360-degree views of downtown Knoxville and the Smoky Mountains. Fun fact: it famously co-starred in an episode of The Simpsons.
