> Country Tonite, Looking for Entertainment in Pigeon Forge? Look no further as we are celebrating our 16th Spectacular season in Pigeon Forge, Country Tonite launches a BRAND NEW SHOW – which means new production numbers, new choreography, new lighting effects, new side-splitting comedy, and new costumes.
>Dollywood, a Disneyland-style amusement park sprawled across 125 acres.
> Splash County, a massive water park complete with 23 water rides and slides to keep you and your family on the move (and very, VERY wet!) all day.
> Wonder Works, the ultimate entertainment attraction for the intellectually curious. From the outside this amazing hands-on museum appears to have been built upside-down (or is it *you* that is upside down?).

Are you and your family in the mood for something completely different? If so, rather than forking out (pun intended) forty dollars for a prepared meal, why not treat yourself and the family to the freshest catches of the day as you take in the picture book scenery on the heavenly confines of the private deck on your log cabin rental?

Make plans now to put a new twist on the typical ho-hum spring break vacation. Pack up the kids and head for a refreshing family-friendly getaway you won’t soon forget!

We’re not talking about the mysterious Skunk Ape or famed Bigfoot roaming around, but if you’re interested in monster-sized attractions, or those that have monsters waiting to scare you, the Smokies have many to fit the bill. T-Rexs, monsters of the deep, monster trucks, and a plethora of generally creepy things all await you in the Smokies.

Monster Trucks
If you’re looking for the loudest fun you can have, look no further than Sevierville, Tennessee, where you’ll not only watch monster trucks, but actually ride in one. Each truck is 12 feet tall, has 66-inch wheels, and weighs a whopping 12,000 pounds. Each truck can carry up to 12 passengers around its dirt track.

Ripley’s Believe It or Not & Aquarium
Finally, in your tour of monster Smoky Mountain attractions, there’s the king of the odd, unusual, and creepy: Ripley’s Believe It or Not Odditorium and the Ripley’s Aquarium. One has old monsters preserved, the other features live monsters of the deep.

As the self-proclaimed “strangest place in Gatlinburg,” the Odditorium is a creepy place with a surreal, eerie atmosphere. You can run through it, just glancing from display to display, but if you stop to read the history behind the items, it’s easy to scare yourself silly.

But a longtime favorite of all these attractions is Ripley’s Aquarium. Never mind that the middle of the Appalachian Mountains isn’t necessarily the most logical place for an aquarium. The range of fishes and sea life you’ll see here is simply astounding.

At this water otherworld you’ll be intrigued by little monsters like piranhas and jellies, and the huge monsters like the aptly named Giant Pacific Octopus, which has an arm span of 14 feet. Then there are the evil-looking sharks in Shark Lagoon. As you glide quietly on a conveyer belt underneath the aquarium, the sharks and other fishes swim above you. Look closely and you’ll learn from firsthand experience what scary teeth Sand Tiger Sharks have!

If that’s not enough to draw you, there’s hands-on entertainment as well, at the Touch a Ray pool. Here, you can lay your hands on small sharks and sting rays under the supervision of the Aquarists. Even the littlest kids in your family will be able to say they’ve pet a sea monster and lived to tell the tale.

So, if you’re looking for monster-themed adventures, these Smoky Mountain attractions have got you covered. Many will send you gleefully running for cover, too!

Perched atop Mt. Harrison, high above the picturesque village of Gatlinburg, Ober Gatlinburg offers family fun all year long. But when the snow flies, this famous resort turns into one of the only ski areasthe south has to offer – and the only one in Tennessee.

Not a skier? No problem. January 2012 is Learn to Skiand Snowboard Month at Ober Gatlinburg. You’ll find professional instructors ready to help you learn to navigate the slopes, plus you’ll be able to rent skis, boots, and even jackets and pants if you don’t have your own. Beginners of every age are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to try out a new winter activity.

Getting to Ober Gatlinburg couldn’t be easier.

In addition to a leisurely ride, the view from the tram is spectacular. The Great Smoky Mountains stretch out before you, decorated for winter with a fresh blanket of white and glittering in the sunlight.

Snowy Fun for Kids

In addition to slopes suitable for all ages and skill levels. Ober Gatlinburg also has plenty of options to keep the younger members of your family entertained. The Cubbies Snow Zone provides a fun place to play in the snow under adult supervision, out of the way of the slopes and chair lifts. Build a snowman, make some snow angels, or dig a fort in the piles of fresh powder.

Besides the cold-weather fun, you’ll find other family friendly activities on site as well. Warm your hands on a cup of hot chocolate in the Ober Gatlinburg restaurant, try your luck in the arcade, or strap on your skates and practice your twirls at the indoor ice arena. For the nature lovers in your group, Wildlife Encounter gives you a chance to meet and greet the natives, including owls, raccoons, and otters. Whether you dream of being a ski bum or simply enjoy a weekend on the slopes, Ober Gatlinburg is a great choice.
