Tropical birds, lemurs, snakes, and over 600 exotic animals await in this indoor zoo that’s both educational and fun. Your kids can get up close to creatures from all over the world while learning about conservation and biodiversity in a fully air-conditioned space.
Ready to beat the heat? This 50-acre waterpark features thrill rides, a massive wave pool, splash zones for littles, and a not-so-lazy river. Pro tip: Rent a cabana for a shaded family hub between water slides and snack runs.
Control your own speed as you cruise down the longest downhill track in the U.S. This alpine coaster is perfect for kids, teens, and adults alike. It’s smooth, scenic, and just wild enough to get everyone laughing and cheering.
Explore Sevierville’s underground wonder on a guided cave tour featuring rock formations, natural chimneys, and crystal-clear streams. With a constant temp of 58°F, it’s the ultimate cool-down and a fun way to sneak some geology into your trip.
5. Patriot Park
Need a slower pace for lunch or some quiet afternoon downtime? Patriot Park is a lovely green space by the river with picnic tables, walking paths, and memorial tributes to our nation’s history. Bring a frisbee or just kick back and relax.
Saddle up for a gentle, scenic horseback ride through peaceful trails just minutes from downtown. Perfect for first-time riders and seasoned cowpokes alike, this is a great unplugged experience for families who love the outdoors.
End your evening on a high note with a live music and comedy show the whole family will enjoy. Country Tonite is one of the Smokies’ top-rated performances, featuring singing, dancing, and just the right amount of homespun humor.
