Ober Gatlinburg. My kids were 11, 9 and 5 and I think this was their favorite activity. It's right before the entrance to the Smokies in Gatlinburg. You can ride up the tram to the top of the park, then you can take a chair lift up to the alpine slide or go even further to the top. We decided to go here instead of Dollywood and my kids LOVED it!
You can also go horseback riding. There are stables everywhere. Kinda a must in Tennessee, I think.
Have fun.
I just googled Ober Gatlinburg, thanks for the suggestion, I think we will definitley do that. Does the cost add up quick for all the different rides?
We ended up getting the unlimited pass for the slide and lift. Ours also included the mini zoo and the few rides. There is a carousel and two little carnival rides that were included but only the 5 year old rode them. The tram and alpine slide is the real appeal. I recall it being sub $200 for 5 people for the tram, everything else, and unlimited sliding. They also have an ice rink and snow sledding but after the winter we had last year nobody wanted to even look at anything cold, lol.
