This zoo was a fun trip for our whole family. We spent about 5-6 hours wondering around at a leisurely pace. The place was very clean and had lots of animals to see. Animal exhibits were clean and well maintained. Animals are visible unlike some zoos that our family has been to. Admission and food prices were reasonable. They have camel rides and carousel rides for an additional price which are awesome!! My son loved them both.

You can't miss this place. It's the only upside down building on the parkway. It is sooo much fun. Our family spent several hours in this place. It's like an indoor amusement park. Our kids enjoyed the virtual video games and the rock climbing walls the most! The price was not too bad either.

The Inn at Christmas Place

119 Christmas Tree Lane,
Pigeon Forge, Tennessee


The Inn at Christmas Place is an awesome place to stay! It's Chirstmas themed but not overly done so that you want to throw up. The rooms are very nice, well sound proofed, clean and comfortable. The beds are very comfy. The location is great. The indoor/outdoor pool and hot tub are very relaxing. They have free breakfast with made to order omelets... made by elves of course!! The staff is very friendly and helpful. Plus every night they serve milk and cookies in the lobby!! The price is a little high during November and December but is more affordable in the spring.

Splash Country is great for families. You can hit all the rides or just lay out and relax while the kids play. Be sure to hit the lazy river.Prices are reasonable. Lines are not too terribly long. Nice atmosphere as well. Nice one day trip for the whole family.

Dollywood has something for all ages! It's not so big that you can't do everything in one day but it is growing. Adventure Mountain, which was added this year, is awesome. Plus you can get free cups of ice water from any of the drink stations. Who does not like FREE? Lines are not too long and the atmosphere is very nice. Food is better than your average amusement parks also.
