Check out Ark-encounter. I have not been there but heard it’s very family friendly with great learning displays. Creation taught and a life size Noah’s Ark.
We’ve been to both and it was a great time. While in Gaitlinburg checking out DollyWood you can see Cades Cove, a bunch of great scenery, the Nautitorium, Pigeon Forge, it’s like Branson with half the traffic. On the way to The Ark exhibit stop by the Creation Museum it’s as well done as any museum I have been to.
And you can visit the Skyline Chili in Dry Ridge.
Yes, Ark Encounter & sister facility Creation Museum are well worth the visit.
Happy Holy Week all!
