Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, TN

Join us as we explore both Gatlinburg & Pigeon Forge, TN! Two busy and exciting gateway towns in the Smoky Mountains.

We started the day at Gatlinburg SkyPark & SkyBridge for panoramic views of the mountains, then headed to Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies. From there, we spent the afternoon at Anakeesta, exploring the mountaintop attractions, and wrapped up the evening with a walk through Astra Lumina, then made one last stop at Ripley’s Believe It or Not!

In Pigeon Forge, we browsed Pigeon River Pottery, had breakfast/Lunch at Old Mill Pottery House Café, and played a round at Crave Golf Club. That evening, we went to Hatfield & McCoy Dinner Feud for dinner and a show. We rode the Great Smoky Mountain Wheel at The Island for views over the Parkway after dinner, then ended the night walking through the Winterfest Wonders of Light trail, which runs along the Parkway during the winter season.
