    We took our 7 and 9 year olds there late last year. They had a blast.

    Is it like the theater/dinner thing? Part I’m worried about is my daughter is 4 and my son is 1. Obviously the 1 year old will enjoy about anything that makes noise. My daughter however, well, she has a lot of her momma in her :): she can be a bit harder to entertain.

    The new Anakeesta attraction across the street from the aquarium is really cool. There's a dedication to the forest fires from a year or so ago, bbq place, ice cream place, and some cool bridges through the tree tops, along with zip lining. Enough to do you could probably spend a good chunk of the day up there.

    Alamo steakhouse is good. Sawyers in Pigeon Forge for breakfast... just to name a couple.

    I did read the aquarium has a Pearl Harbor exhibit right now. Looking forward to checking that out. We discussed the titanic museum, as all the other museums (wax museum, etc) looked more like kiddy attractions than educational. I did tell the wife I’m sneaking to at least 1 distillery, so maybe the moving theater can find a way into our schedule after
    Going there next month, but couldn't find anything about a Pearl harbor exhibit on their website, just some old links to articles about it from two years ago.

    I saw it in the customer reviews when reading thru them. I’ll see if I can find it.

    Also, next month as in may? What days?

    The ripley's at Gatlinburg was the first one I went through as a kid I believe. It was freaky as a kid.
    I heard the original burnt down many years ago. I guess they must have rebuilt it.
    The one in Orlando FL has a life size Trump figure in it. I got some weird looks getting my picture with him with thumbs up lol

    im not sure if it burnt down or not, from what I can see in the pictures it’s identical to the way it was when I went as a teen. And I hope they have a trump figure there, I’ll bring my maga hat just in case

    It’s jousting and sword fights and horsies, and food.

    Last I was there, we were asked to leave, as one of the females in our party had imbibed a lil’ too much Ole Smokey “ moonshine”.:( Dude was a dumbass, if he’d have waited 5 more minutes, he would have seen her buck nekkid(she was haaawwwt!) As her boyfriend was double dog daring her to do silly drunk **** in Ripleys, but Noooo, he asked us to leave right as said dude dared her to strip down and walk around. She did, but up the strip! In my defense, it was the 5th of May, and we spent it at the rooftop bar of the Messycan restaurant on the strip, and several trips to Ole Smokey. But all said, I’d do it again to see her walk nekkid up the strip!
