If you're a true outdoor enthusiast and back packer, this might not be the place for you. The atmosphere can't be beat...fire place, building, it's great. The merchandise, in my opinion, leaves much to be desired. They carry a little of this and a little of that. Having been several times, it's a good place to get little Christmas gifts... More

We stopped in before we hit the hiking trails on the smokey mountain parkway. We bought a pair a Keen hiking shoes for myself and my 6 yr old daughter. She also climbed their 30 ft rock wall and loved it!

Having trained on the Nantahalla and worked the Pigeon, I was interested in the unhappy customer's review. The Pigeon on a non-release day is a rocky creek and more fun to kayak than raft,so if they take you rafting without telling you they aren't letting water from the dam,then one might be disappointed. But the pictures seem to be of... More

Every time we come to Gatlinburg we always stop by. NOC is a great place for any outdoor activity. My wife and I enjoy hiking and always enjoy looking at their latest shoes, clothing and gadgets. The kids enjoy the big black bear and playing checkers by the fire. It's a neat store to just stop by and check out.

Lots of cool products, unique stuff you might not find anywhere else. We like to walk around and browse, I can't say I ever bought anything though, maybe I am too cheap!

Remember you do have to paddle, and you will get very wet. We had a great time. The kids really enjoyed being able to use the water guns on the other rafters, and we all had a blast.

This is the second NOC I have visited, and is by far the larger and more involved of the two. The customer service was exceptional considering the number of people there during my visit. Swinging bridge upstairs as well as the climbing wall seemed to be a highlight with the kids. The only negative I have is the access to... More

I just came in to do a return. Employee met me at the door and asked what I needed. I told her that I needed to do a return. She asked if I had a receipt which I didn't and she got the general manager. The general manager told me that he didn't know if I had even paid for... More

We are so sorry you had such a bad experience in our store while working with our assistant manager. It is our return policy that a receipt is required, and all returns should take place within 30 days. That being said, we do want to accommodate our guests as best we can and make our customers happy. We did extend... More
