You don’t want to miss ‘The Island’ in Pigeon Forge. So many fun things to do and places to see here like the water show and light up bridge at night or the candy shops, build-a-bear, arcades, and escape rooms! So many fun things to explore here at ‘...
The Island in Pigeon Forge
This resort is my FAVORITE. Located in the heart of Sevierville, you won’t have to pay for parking when you’re visiting the tourist strip or Anakeesta. The rooms are beautiful, clean, and themed! They have a nice indoor pool with a mini water park fo...
Holiday Inn Club Vacations Smoky Mountain Resort
Anakeesta is your fun up in the mountains! Take a sky lift up to the beautiful location where you can zip line, cross rope bridges for a scenic view, and even eat your heart out at any of the restaurants located up top. We love Anakeesta — it’s famil...
Anakeesta
These Cotton Candy wines are TO DIE FOR! Every time we go to Gatlinburg area, we make sure to stop at one of the Gatlinburg ‘Cotton Candy Winery’’s. My second favorite is their Blueberry Wine, if you’re up to trying more things!
Cotton Candy
We love The Barn for Ole Smoky Moonshine! Pay just a few dollars to taste test a ton of their flavors, including the most popular and seasonal options. We love the Moonshine Pineapples and the Banana one the most. Fun Tip: The Banana moonshine tastes...
Ole Smoky Distillery "The Barn"
The Comedy Barn is a family favorite for us — and never fails to get us all laughing. This show is fun for all ages and has a full concessions bar for snacks, drinks, and other goodies.
Comedy Barn Theater
This is our absolute #1 favorite dinner show in Tennessee. The food is tasty with fried chicken, corn, and mashed potatoes — and the show is pure comedic entertainment. You get placed on one “side” or the other — and only one side wins, who will it b...
Hatfield & McCoy Dinner Feud
All the millenials will love this one! Cici’s pizza was a classic back in the day and now there’s barely any locations across America. This Cici’s is always well put together, clean, and has so many pizza, pasta, and salad bar options — you won’t kno...
Cicis Pizza
Dick’s Last Resort is located in ‘The Island’ of Pigeon Forge and is an absolute must-stop and eat type of place. They make crude, rude, and horrid jokes ON PURPOSE — all in fun! When you’re seated, you’ll be knighted with your very own special hat —...
Dick's Last Resort - Pigeon Forge
This place is such a family friendly and old school Tennessee vibe. This doesn’t feel like the franchises and gives you more hometown vibes than the other pancake restaurants down the strip. This place is top rated and I fully believe it’s a Tennesse...
Flapjack's Pancake Cabin
Out of all the companies, I recommend Legacy Mountain Ziplines. Their guides are helpful, kind, and eager to help you learn if you’re a first timer. They have the longest and highest zipline in the area — and it’s worth every penny. The views on the ...
Legacy Mountain Ziplines
This trout farm allows you to fish for your own meal — after catching your fish, you can head inside to the restaurant and eat what you caught! It’s an amazing experience and perfect for couples or a family in love with fishing!
English Mountain Trout Farm
Dolly Parton created Dollywood amusement park, and it’s a great place to take your kids to have a little fun. Best for later elementary through high school age just due to the height and weight requirements for a lot of the rides, but it’s also a gre...

This Ripley’s Aquarium had a gorgeous underwater track that you can go under the sea life and you can watch them float and swim above you! Not only the aquarium specialties, they also have an indoor play place for the kids, and the gift shop is HUGE!
