Bays Mountain Park and Planetarium is one of our nation’s largest city-owned parks with more than 200,000 visitors passing through its gates every year.

The 3,750-acre nature preserve is also one of Tennessee’s Top 50 Most Visited Attractions, offering 44 miles of hiking trails, a state-of-the-art planetarium, wildlife habitats, engaging exhibits, a 44-acre lake, ropes course with zip line and trails for mountain biking.

For these reasons alone, you should consider purchasing a membership to Bays Mountain Park.

When you become a member, you’ll not only enjoy the park and all it has to offer, you will also help the park continue a tradition of preservation, exhibition and educational programs that reach thousands of school children annually.
