It is the only aspirational building to be priced at under 1 million cash, and was released in August 2013 along with the Level 33 update.

The Sunsphere unlocks a quest involving BartMilhouseMartin and Nelson. The player must be Level 5 in order to purchase it; however, the quest won't start until Level 21.

Dialogue[]

Here Comes The Sunsphere[]

Character Dialogue
Nelson Icon Hey, look! It's the Sunsphere! I thought I knocked that over and broke it when we went to Knoxville, Tennessee.
Milhouse Icon Amazing to think that it was once part of the World's Fair of 1982... the most forgotten World's Fair in history!
Bart Icon Let's break into it, climb to the top, and see if we can hear ghosts from 1982 talking about how boring the view was.

Trivia[]

  • The Sunsphere was featured in The Simpsons episode "Bart on the Road" in which Bart, Milhouse, Nelson, and Martin head to Knoxville, Tennessee in the hopes of seeing the World's Fair, which occurred in 1982. In that episode, the Sunsphere became known as the "Wigsphere" where it was used to store thousands of boxes of unsold wigs. Nelson destroys both the Sunsphere and their vehicle by throwing a rock at it.
  • It is based on the real Sunsphere in Knoxville, Tennessee.
  • It is one of several locations, including O'Flanagan's Pub and the Volcano Lair, that were not located in Springfield in the series, but can be built in the player's town in the game.
  • It is animated. Several birds wearing wigs, an allusion to its use as a wig storage facility in the show, can be seen poking out through holes in the structure.
  • The Sunsphere is an aspirational building, but is one of two to have tasks associated with it, the Sit-N-Rotate is the other one.
  • It is the lowest priced aspirational building.
  • The quest name is an obvious parody to the Beatles' song Here Comes the Sun.
