Although the use of social media is often blamed for some of our country’s biggest challenges these days, it does have its place in society. Social media sites help people stay in touch with each other, whether they’re next door or across the world. Sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram are great for sharing pictures of the new grandbaby, your most recent rock concert experience, or last night’s dinner at the new restaurant down the street. Social media is also great for finding out which Gatlinburg attractions are the best while you’re here on vacation.
#Gatlinburg
To help you out, here’s a quick rundown of a few of the Gatlinburg attractions you’ve probably heard about on social media sites.

This combination ski/amusement park is a family favorite because of all there is do just in this one location. Skiing, snow tubing, ice skating, and shopping are just a few of the possibilities. Riding the aerial tram or the Ski Mountain Coaster offers a thrill. Learning about wildlife in the area makes a great activity for the whole family. There are activities to interest every member of the family here.
Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies
This world-class aquarium provides a great learning opportunity for the kids. They’ll learn about sea life of all kinds: sharks, penguins, eels, fish; and they’ll learn what kinds of fish and other creatures live in coral reefs. You’ll even have a chance to pet a ray in the shallow waters of Touch a Ray Bay. Take a glass bottom boat tour while you’re there, and experience ocean life as you never have before.
Great Smoky Mountains National Park
The Smokies are known for the unique misty hue that settles over them on most days giving them a mysterious look. It’s a view that lures visitors in to come explore their many wonders. This national park, free to the public, gives you the chance to explore them up close. Hike on the miles of maintained trails. Explore the many waterfalls and rivers. Take a drive on the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail. This place is the ultimate adventure for outdoor enthusiasts.
Zip down the mountain and through the woods on this fun-filled ride. The Gatlinburg Mountain Coaster is unlike the coasters you’re probably familiar with. This one doesn’t use motors or engines on the way down. You’re dropping with the force of gravity. Ride by yourself or with a buddy; but make sure you’ve paired up appropriately because you control your own speed. You’ll love it!
Another Ripley’s attraction, this one is a favorite with the kids. Kids love to see themselves in a mirror and this place has mirrors galore. Try to find your way through this mirrored maze outlined with thousands of little lights. Which way is the way out? Don’t worry…they’ll eventually send in a search party!
After a Day of Fun, a Little Solitude Sounds Nice
