Cumberland County Playhouse

This is one place I visit every year. The quality of the productions that I have seen is first rate. I will mention that I prefer comedies. They do musicals and dramas but I have not yet seen those.

Downtown Crossville

Reviewed By T1037NVdavidw - Crossville, United States

Taking a slow drive through the old Downtown are, I stopped counting at 24 places I could visit. A walking tour of @7 or 8 short blocks, then cross the street is what I recommend. For food, you can go breakfast, lunch to dinner and a snack stop. There's weekend music at 2 locations and throw in the amphitheater for summertime events, along with a downtown Palace Theater. The architecture is worth taking time to visit...many buildings, structures and a couple interesting murals, along with building and site plaques. A military museum and military memorial Park, along with a stone museum, library and the Chamber are right there....take an hour or even half a day...plenty, plenty to see and do.

This was the prettiest park! We walked the Pioneer Short Loop and it is by far the prettiest trail in the area! We’ll be back. Just watch out for snakes around the caves and in the damp spots along the trail! We saw 3!

Wildwood Stables

Wildwood Stables is located at Fairfield Glade Golf Resort. The trails are excellent and the scenery is beautiful. Highly recommend this trail. They also have hayrides with excellent food and a play area for kids. It is perfect for families. There is an amazing 200 year old sycamore tree! The tree is recognized by the Urban Forestry Council in Nashville, TN on October 5, 2012, as a Landmark and Historic Tree. It was planted in 1864 by Hugh Center. The homestead was located along Walton Road which carried travelers across the state. Many famous people stopped by the Center home. The site was also had a school house/chapel and was the hub of activity in the area. The tree stands 94 ft. tall and is 16 ft. in circumference, with a crown spread of 165 ft. The tree is a wonderful place to marry with couples pledging their eternal love. Prayers said under the tree is believed to go straight to heaven. The TUFC has recognized 32 landmark, historic and heritage trees across the state to date. Wildwood Stable is also a stop on the Upper Cumberland Quilt Trail. The pattern chosen is called "Crossed Roads" which is significent to the heritage of the area and Tennessee.

The Palace Theatre

Reviewed By nursemike

This theater had nearly fallen to the ground. We went in to buy tickets for a Bluegrass concert. The young gentleman took so much pride in the facility that he offered to show us around. The theater is beautifully redone and has good seating. We enjoyed a concert with two Bluegrass bands, Clearview and Hillbilly Fever. The bands were very good and all of this for $15 per ticket. Just a very cool venue and a staff that is both warm and welcoming.

Chuckle's Family Fun

Reviewed By JenRed2014 - Buffalo, United States

We really liked Chuckles for its assortment of activities. Honestly, we thought it was going to be a bit cheesy, but we had a lot of fun! We played mini-golf outside and the course is in good shape. While playing, you’re surrounded by a nice botanical gardens that they obviously work hard to maintain. Inside there are a number of arcade games that give ticket credits. They can be redeemed for small prizes. We played laser tag (a first for me) and it was really fun. The course was bigger than I imagined it would be (note: it’s fun in there with the lighting if you wear white because you’ll glow...but then they’ll see you). Finally, we had some pizza and drinks. The pizza was surprisingly good for what we expected. All in all we found the employees to be kind and helpful and the place to be fun, clean, and well run.
