    Amazing time. I had a blast sampling with Jess. She taught me about life love & liquor. I really liked the Marvin flavored mooonshine. I got drunkard than dirt! Thanx Jess. You are a triumph of the human spirit!

    What a wonderful place! We enjoyed watching the sharks and could believe how many different sharks they had. The underwater tunnel is so good and all the fish and turtles and sharks you can watch.
    The only disappointing was the glass boat ride was not open. We enjoyed everything

    It was fun riding up to the top. It was fun to walk around on top of the mountain. Walking out to see the edge was fun and nerve racking when we felt it shake a little.

    Our family had a good time. Wait times to get up the mountain and off quite long. There are plenty of places to sit and take in the views. The treetop walk is really cool. Also, Astra Lumina was worth the extra money. The Cliff Top restaurant was very good, and we were ablebto be seated quickly. Overall, very fun day!!

    The main reason we came here on vacation was to get lost in the woods! We love to hike, and this was HEAVEN!! Streams, creeks, waterfalls, trees, and more trees! Kids had a blast connecting with nature. I carried the gear, family brought there hiking shoes...

    The location was fine and the activities were fun. They offered events for all ages. My husband and I are in our 60s and decided to take the ski lift all the way to the top. When we got there, we kind of expected to just stay on it and go back down but instead got yelled at from the staff to get off you must get off. When we were trying to figure out which direction to go in, they were saying obviously you’re gonna go this way. They were not nice people. They were laughing at the guests and they should be fired. That’s not the type of employees anyone should have. There’s a restaurant in Gatlinburg that you can pay to get insulted at. That’s where they should work.

    My absolute most favorite place in the entire world!! Our family frequents gatlinburg multiple times per year and a visit to The Village is Always a must! The fountain is always beautiful, the brick pathway with all the cute shops, our favorite coffee place that I even tattooed on my arm, Coffee & Company and the Donut Friar!! You can’t miss this beautiful place! Make your next visit count and stop in the Village!

    Amazing view of Gatlinburg. Parking is limited at this overlook, so try to get there in morning and preferably on a sunny clear day.
