Great Smoky Mountains National Park
We are looking to plan a trip to the Great Smoky Mountains national park in April. We will only be able to stay a week and would like some input on the must see stuff? So far our research has shown us...

There is so much to do in the whole area. One hidden gem is Forbidden Caverns if you would like to see a cave. Its close by the Bush Bean factory for a good lunch and a quick tour through their little museum. There is a good aviation museum at the Sevierville airport too. Not a lot of aircraft on display but they do have 3 P-40's. The museum itself is interesting.
G'burg has the Ripley's aquarium and other Ripley attractions and its downtown area is very walkable. Pigeon Forge has Dolly's Stampede, a great dinner show and there is a Titanic exhibit that is worthy of a look.
If you are inclined for a casino fix then there is Harrah's in Cherokee NC just over the mountain. In Cherokee there is the Museum of the Cherokee Indian and not much further down the road is the Wheels Through Time museum in Maggie Valley. Easy day trips.
If you have never been to the Biltmore Estate in Asheville take a day to go. Asheville is an hour away, another easy day trip. Unless you are a hiker there is not a whole lot to do in the park itself. You have lots of research to do.
