TESTIMONIALS

"This Discovery Park of America is an amazing huge park stuck out in the far away isolated area on Union City, Tenn. The park is a historical Genius! Every student in school should have to visit this Park and see all of the historical items.”

David M.

"Friends from the area took us here. Everyone in our group was between 50 and 80. We all had an amazing time! There was so much to see and do! We could not see it all, before we all were tired! I would recommend the 2-day pass ... we could have gone back a second day to see more! We also ate at the cafe and the food was delicious!"

Charlie and Wendy P.

“You would not expect such a nice destination to be in a small town, but this place is top notch when it comes to family oriented parks. So much to see, do, and learn…We are already planning our return trip.”
