How to Experience Spring Break in the Smokies with Kids

Bring the whole family to the Smokies for an unforgettable spring break! First, reserve a Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge cabin. We’ve got cabins for every size family, so you’ll find the perfect fit. Then, use this handy list of the Smokies’ coolest family activities.

Play at Your Cabin

Play in the game room. Some cabins feature pool, foosball, air hockey, and video game consoles for hours of family fun.

Swim in your own pool. Rent a cabin with a private pool and the kids might never want to leave it! 

Hold a family film festival. Let the kids pick the flicks to show in your cabin’s movie theater. 

Kid-Friendly Attractions 

Dig’N Zone

Operate real construction equipment! Kids can drive a pavement roller, scoop up dirt with a full-sized earth mover, and drive a tractor.

WonderWorks

Experience the bone-rattling shake of an earthquake and the whipping winds of a hurricane. Lie on a bed of nails, or explore an astronaut’s space suit. 

Beyond the Lens

Cool tech meets crazy fun in 150 interactive exhibits. Take a virtual reality ride, hunt for Bigfoot, and try to escape a pit of alien eggs.

Paula Deen’s Lumberjack Feud

Watch real lumberjacks compete at feats of skill and strength, with heaping helpings of comedy and delicious food. 

Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies

Animal-loving youngsters can pet stingrays, watch divers feed toothy sharks, and see penguins paint pictures. 

Hollywood Wax Museum

Cozy up to movie stars and music icons and snap all the pictures you want. Dozens of props help kids create their own scenes. 

Active Fun

Ride horses. Take a guided trail ride on a gentle horse, no experience necessary.

Take a hike. Look for bears at Cades Cove. See how many wildflowers you can spot along Porters Creek Trail. Even toddlers can hike on flat, easy Gatlinburg Trail. 

Roll downhill inside a giant, clear “bubble.” This is “zorbing” and the only place in America you can experience it is at Outdoor Gravity Park.

Cool off with indoor snow tubing. Warm spring weather doesn’t stop the frosty fun at Pigeon Forge Snow. Go tubing on fresh, real snow any time of year.

Fly through the air. Kids can challenge each other to race on the side-by-side Dueling Ziplines at Anakeesta.

You’ll never wonder, “What will we do today?” when you spend spring break in the Smokies! Reserve your Smoky Mountain cabin online now.
