Things to do in Gatlinburg

Looks like Bud's Gun shop has a training simulator. That should be fun.

Anyone ever do any of the horseback riding down there? Is there one place better than another.

Took advantage of a discounted ride with my daughter many years ago. About a 2 hour ride for $20 and had a great time. Can’t help on who it was and I’m sure prices have changed but look for coopins in the local brochures. Competition will always cut rates to make money.

If you enjoy ziplining this is my favorite place to go in Gatlinburgh.

Just finishing up our long weekend in the Gatlinburg area. We did the following....

* Ripley's aquarium- real nice place

* Jayell horse trail rides - pretty awesome. Not just a trot around a field, but into the foothills of the Smokey's.

*Parrott Mountion- Another awesome place if you like birds.

*TopJump Trampoline- My kids loved it. A bunch of wall climbs, trampolines and an American Ninja Warrior course.

*Deer Farm/petting zoo- Not bad. Some unique
animals like the Watusi, the Egyptian cattle.

*Clingsman Dome- AWESOME. Very worth the traffic and trek to get up there.

*Forbidden Caverns- Not bad but I think the ones in
Southern Indiana and Kentuck are better.

The only "No Guns" sign I saw posted was at the gift shop at Clingsman Dome which is .gov property.
