![]() ![]() To top off these “8 Ripley’s Wonders of the Smokies,” they’ve made it easy and affordable for you to do it all! Purchase all or any combination of attractions for one low price online at Ripley’s Tickets. Ripley’s attractions offer outdoor family fun too! They have two mini-golf courses, one at each end of Sevier County: Davy Crockett Mini-Golf has two courses of animated and interactive displays, and over in Sevierville is Ripley’s Old MacDonald’s Farm Mini-Golf complex which is actually 3 different courses with-yep-a barnyard theme. ![]() Ripley’s is obviously known for fun, but did you know they’re also known for SUPER fun? That would be the retro Super Fun Zone with shooting gallery, indoor mini golf and two laser tag arenas. By combining their cutting edge technology, six-channel digital surround sound, and 5D virtual reality simulator, you actually ride WITH the movie and experience every bump, dip, and turn. It is stocked with hundreds of old time classic candies as well as the latest treats!ĭoes your family enjoy the newest trend of 5D movies? How about thrill rides? Well, Ripley’s 5D Moving Theatre has you covered then. If you ever do find your way out, reward yourself with one or two (or three!) pieces of candy from Ripley’s Candy Factory located inside the Mirror Maze. Never the same experience twice! The mirror maze allows for an infinite number of surprising corners, dead ends, and continuous circles. Want to drive yourself crazy? Then run, don’t walk, to Ripley’s Marvelous Mirror Maze and Candy Factory. Maybe those fish are looking at YOU as you parade by!.ĭid you know Ripley’s has a Haunted Adventure? This multi-million dollar, state-of-the-art haunted attraction uses some animatronics and bone chilling special effects, but they don’t resort to using stiff ole mannequins – NO! They use live actors to scare the crap out of you! Don’t bring little ones under the age of 5 – it is much too intense for them. It has been proudly freaking out families for over 90 years with over 500 incredible artifacts from around the world – all guaranteed real and mind boggling.Īnd how about Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies? Who doesn’t like sharks, eels and other sea oddities, not to mention being able to PET stingrays?! Ripley’s claims there are more fish in this aquarium than there are people living in the entire town of Gatlinburg. I enjoyed the Blue Ribbon Burger, no clue what’s in the special sauce but the mix of bacon, beef and banana brings it all together for an unexpected winner.First up: the strangest place in Gatlinburg, Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Odditorium. The European inspired lunch menu begins daily at 11.30 am. They serve their famous pancakes and crepes all day. Breakfast lines are quite long, so I suggest going during non-peak hours, lunch. Since 1960 this restaurant has packed patrons from all over the world for breakfast and lunch. ![]() Sitting among The Village in downtown Gatlinburg, and directly on Parkway is home to Tennessee’s FIRST specialty pancake restaurant. Once was on the parkway and the other was 1600 feet above parkway! There is no shortage of great places to eat in Gatlinburg, we dined twice during our visit. ![]() Both are centrally located to the Parkway, and the main areas of dining, shopping and attractions. If you want to be in the downtown area of Gatlinburg, I suggest the Bearskin Lodge on the River or Margaritaville Resort Gatlinburg. ![]()
