3. Nearby Attractions in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge

All of our Gatlinburg cabins and chalets are located only minutes from the Gatlinburg Parkway, but are still far enough away for each family member to feel a sense of privacy. The cabins are tucked away in the mountains, so you’re surrounded by the tall-standing trees rather than the chaos of the Parkway.

Try these for your reunion:

Dollywood

Of course, one of the most well-known attractions near Gatlinburg (located in Pigeon Forge), Dollywood is a great place to go in large groups. There’s a variety of things to do, with everything from kid-friendly ‘county fair’ style rides to thrilling roller coasters and music shows. There’s great food, country favorites and sweet treats located throughout the park.

Dollywood is completely safe, and has plenty of places to ‘meet up’ throughout the day. So, when you arrive set a couple of meeting times to regroup, and allow individuals to go out and explore the park on their own. With so many different age groups at the reunion, everyone will want to do something different at Dollywood!

Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies

Do you want to experience a Gatlinburg attraction together? At Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies, there’s plenty of space to walk around together while exploring the different sea creatures. From penguins to stingrays and sharks, everyone can have a great time looking at all of the animas.

At Ripley’s Aquarium in Gatlinburg, there’s many interactive exhibits, too. Stop by and pet a horseshoe crab, test your courage at Touch-a-Ray Bay where you can touch live stingrays and enjoy a relaxing conveyor ride through a tunnel where you can see sharks, sea turtles and so much more swim around you.

Wonderworks

Wonderworks is a 100% interactive experience for the mind. If you have a lot of children at your Gatlinburg family reunion, this needs to be at the top of your list. With everything from a bubble room to a rock climbing wall, there’s hundreds of interactive exhibits to explore. Kids of all ages love this attraction.

Dinner Theaters

Dinner theaters in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg are great for people of all ages, but they’re especially wonderful for the adults in your group. A couple of the most popular shows are Dixie Stampede and Hatfield and McCoy. Both of these offer a variety-style show, centered around the theme of the Great Smoky Mountains. Plus, you’ll be served a delicious meal at each location…you can’t beat that!

If you plan to attend a dinner show while you’re visiting for your family reunion, make sure you call the theaters to make reservations or pre-order your tickets. This way, you have a better chance of sitting together at the theater, and everyone will be guaranteed a spot. We would hate for you to try to buy last-minute tickets for a show, because you won’t be able to sit together to enjoy the show.
