Southern Charm In Gatlinburg Tennessee: Five Things to Do This Winter in Pigeon Forge

By John Roney


The Winter is upon us and there may not be a more charming area of the country this time of year than Pigeon Forge Tennessee. If you happen to be making your way to Pigeon Forge here are five suggestions of some places and things you really might find of interest and fun. A lot of the suggestions are family friendly. - 1. Smoky Mountain Winterfest: Starting in late fall, the usually tourist-packed cities of the Smoky Mountains-Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, etc.-come together for a "Happy Holidays" creative...outlet. From all of your favorite Smoky Mountain attractions, Ripley, Dolly, and more come together to toss up more colorful, flashing Christmas lights than you can imagine.

2. Christmas Place and The Inn at Christmas Place: There's hardly an off-season for one of the most popular shops in the Pigeon Forge area, Christmas Place. You can find one-of-a-kind ornaments, dcor, and trees here any day of the year. The shop boasts nearly four dozen designer trees, and you can bet they have someone put a new twist on even the basic Christmas light. Part of the happiest holiday location is the familiy-owned Inn that decorates for Christmas (surprise) year-round. In the winter, cozy up next to a fireplace or in the Jacuzzi in your room.

There is a multi-plex movie theater inside the mall as well as an IMAX theater. You will find a specially lit bowling alley in the Dave and Busters store across from the theaters that also has good as well as every kind of video game. The Apple Barn will draw you in as you walk by and see in the window workers making their famous apple turnovers. You will find many more goodies inside and I don't you will be able to exit without buying something.

If you have a sportsman along on the trip, you will want to visit the Bass Pro Shop. It is easy to get lost in this store because it is so large. And the kids (and maybe you) will enjoy stopping by the large fish tank and watching the fish swim back and forth. There is another store where you can watch craftsman make banjos. Walk inside to find all kinds of stringed instruments and accessories. Maybe you'll pick up a guitar and be on your way to country music stardom!

5. Tangier Outlets and Spin City Roller Rink: You want out of your hotel room, but it is certainly too cold to stay anywhere without heating for too long! Browse in and out of great outlet shops for excellent brand-names at a reduced rate. If you're willing to brave the Smokies in the winter, may we suggest getting even hotter deals on Black Friday? Just across the street you can unwind further with the family at the Spin City Roller Rink for roller-skating, a video arcade, and classic concession stand. Pigeon Forge is a city and an area both steeped in history but heading full tilt into the future. Pigeon Forge grows every day as a destination resort. The five options above are only a few of the great things to do and attractions to see when visiting in Southern Charm In Gatlinburg Tennessee.
