Walk the 16-bridge Treetop Skywalk—the longest tree-based skywalk in North America—or brave the hanging bridges, BearVenture obstacle course, treehouse village, gem mining, and two mountain coasters, including the Rail Runner. Zipline on dual-racing lines, explore Vista Gardens and the Memorial Forest Walk, then refuel with views at Cliff Top restaurant, Anakeesta Smokehouse, and Pearl’s Pie in the Sky.
Ober Mountain

Explore the SkyTrail’s Elevated Boardwalk, Tulip Tower, and hillside Path for different views of the bridge and Smoky Mountains. Relax at the SkyDeck amphitheater or Clayton’s Landing overlook, then grab a Smash Burger or snacks in the SkyCenter.

Grotto Falls
Moderate hike through lush forest leading to the park's only walk-behind waterfall
Summarised by AI
At Grotto Falls you can follow a short path directly behind a 25-foot waterfall, feel the cool mist, and watch for salamanders that thrive in the moist, shaded grotto. The moderate 2.6–3 mile out-and-back hike on Trillium Gap Trail leads through old-growth hemlock forest, spring wildflowers, and across several small streams on a well-maintained, mostly shaded path. Expect a popular trail, potentially llamas delivering supplies to LeConte Lodge, slippery rocks near the falls, and no dogs allowed.

Walk an easy, mostly flat trail right along the West Prong of the Little Pigeon River, with constant river sounds, shade, and plenty of spots to see people fishing, swimming, or playing in the creek. Enjoy footbridges, old home foundations, chimneys, and other artifacts along the way. This 3.8–4-mile roundtrip path is perfect for families, beginners, trail running, or delicate knees. It’s also one of the only Great Smoky Mountains National Park trails that allows leashed dogs and bicycles.
Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies
Aquarium featuring interactive exhibits, underwater tunnels, and diverse marine life
Summarised by AI
At Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies, walk through the 340-foot underwater Shark Lagoon tunnel as 12-foot sharks, a giant sea turtle, and schools of fish glide overhead.

Book tickets online, check feeding schedules, and go early or after dinner to avoid heavy crowds.
