Gatlinburg, TN sits at the doorstep of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the most visited national park in the United States. While Gatlinburg and nearby Pigeon Forge are packed with tons of fun things to do with kids, we wanted to spend most of our time in the Great Smokies.
We spent three super-fun days in Gatlinburg with our kids (aged 3 & 5) as part of our 16-day Appalachian road trip with kids. We found plenty of kid-friendly hikes in the Smoky Mountains and enjoyed some of the best thing to do with kids in Gatlinburg, TN.
