Once we were done in the mountains, we toured Gatlinburg itself. The shop buildings in this little town are quaint and cute. They remind me a little of an alpine mountain town.
One of the places we had planned to go was the Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies. If you are ever in the area, you really need to go here. It was wonderful! It has something for every age group. This would be a wonderful place to take a school or church group. We loved it!
We did a lot of walking through Gatlinburg. There were numerous attractions that we just did not have time to get to, but they looked like they would be fun as well.
Next stop…Pigeon Forge.
