Sevierville, Tennessee is one of America’s top family vacation spots! Situated minutes away from the Great Smoky Mountains, our beautiful city is just a short drive from some of the best attractions in the Southeast. To help you make the most of your next getaway, The Lodge at Five Oaks has put together a guide to five can’t-miss attractions near Sevierville TN.
1. Pigeon Forge Snow
Pigeon Forge Snow is the most-buzzed-about new attraction in the Smokies! This one-of-a-kind facility offers indoor snow tubing all year long. The secret to Pigeon Forge Snow’s success is its state-of-the-art snow machines, which produce genuine fresh powder, not a synthetic material. In addition to snow tubing, the attraction also features a fun SnowPlay area where guests can make snowmen and enjoy more wintry fun. Best of all, Pigeon Forge Snow isn’t freezing cold; it boasts a comfortable temperature of around 65 – 70 °F.
2. The Track Smoky Mountains
The Track Smoky Mountains is another one of our favorite attractions near Sevierville TN. The Track takes its name from its signature go-kart tracks: the Wild Woody (an elevated, multi-level adventure) and the Family Track (a classic racing track with a figure-eight design). Besides go-kart racing, The Track also features an arcade, bumper boats, and a variety of kiddie rides.
3. Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies
Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies was voted the best aquarium in America by the readers of USA Today! What sets Ripley’s Aquarium apart from the rest are its unique interactive exhibits. Highlights of the aquarium include Shark Lagoon (which features a moving sidewalk and immersive underwater tunnel), the Penguin Playhouse (where children crawl through transparent tubes in the penguin habitat), and Touch A Ray Bay (where guests can pet a real live stingray).
4. Hollywood Star Cars Museum
The Hollywood Star Cars Museum is an absolute must for TV and film buffs! This wonderful attraction is home to some of the most famous vehicles to ever grace the silver and small screens. Well-known cars in the museum’s collection include the DeLorean from Back to the Future, the Jalopy from The Beverly Hillbillies, Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters, and two different Batmobiles (from the 1960s TV show and the 1992 movie).
5. Ripley’s Haunted Adventure
You don’t need to wait for Halloween to enjoy some spooky shenanigans in the Smokies! Ripley’s Haunted Adventure is a year-round haunted house that features live actors dressed in movie-quality costumes. Guests must be at least 6 years old to enter this frighteningly fun destination.
