There are lots of activities to do in the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area for both you and the kids. Dinner shows and the Nat'l park are really minutes apart. Granted, we are very busy here and traffic is heavy yes. Campgrounds are plentiful and full hookups are the norm. In the park you have Newfound Gap and Climgmans dome with an observation tower for spectacular views and Cades Cove too.The park has waterfalls to hike to and the Little Pigeon river to get your toes wet in.
The outlying area has the Biltmore estate that is an hour away. Maggie Valley has the Wheels through time museum and Cherokee has the museum of the Cherokee Indian. Both good day trips.
While it may not be some people's cup of tea and call it too 'touristy' it really would keep you and you children entertained. Dollywood is a wonderful park and there is Splash Country water park right next to Dollywood. They just opened the Pirate Adventure show and the Stampede is a great family dinner show too.
We are transplants to this area and we love it here, but we live 20 miles outside the hustle and crazy of the city. Look into it, there is so much to do it is overwhelming.
