Step by Step
The experience begins right in the heart of Gatlinburg, from where you’ll make your way up to Anakeesta using the Crystal Express Gondola or the Ridge Rambler vehicles. The gondola features panoramic glass cabins and takes a short ride up the hillside before reaching the upper part of the park.
Once there, one of the main attractions is the Treetop SkyWalk, a network of elevated walkways that winds through the forest amongst the treetops. It is one of the most special ways to enjoy the natural surroundings without having to undertake a strenuous hike.
You can also explore Vista Gardens, with over 3,000 plants and various art installations, or head up to the AnaVista Tower. From the top, you’ll enjoy 360° views of the mountains and the centre of Gatlinburg.
If you’re travelling with the family, you’ll find areas such as Treehouse Adventure, TreeVenture and BirdVenture, with games and small challenges designed for different age groups. Depending on the season, the Aquarium Adventure Trail & Splash Pad may also be available.
As well as the included attractions, Anakeesta features dining areas, shops, live shows and spots where you can simply sit back and take in the mountain views. Additional paid experiences are also available, such as the zip line, the mountain coaster and certain evening activities.
Reviews
- YY.A lovely park where you can combine a bit of adventure with nature without having to spend the whole day doing strenuous activities.
- XX.The views from above were among the best landscapes of our trip through Tennessee.
- WW.There was quite a lot of activity in the entrance area and it took us a little longer than expected to get upstairs. After that, everything was much quieter.
- VV.The Ridge Rambler is a good alternative if you don’t fancy taking the gondola. We tried both options.
