    Ijams Pop-up

    Details

    Our mobile sauna set up at Ijams Nature Center has been one of Knoxville's best outdoor experiences.

    A tech-free, Nordic spa experience, rooted in ritual.

    Sauna, plunge and lounge at your own pace. 3-5 minutes in the cold plunge. It is operated as a partnership between Dolly and Herschend Family Entertainment, a company that manages several theme parks and attractions across the U.S. Dolly Parton’s involvement includes shaping the park's identity, with many attractions and events reflecting her personal story, music, and Appalachian heritage.

    As a co-owner, Dolly Parton does profit from Dollywood’s success, though she has stated that her primary motivation is to create jobs and boost tourism in her home region of East Tennessee.
