Chalets in Pigeon Forge

Tucked between the misty ridges of the Great Smoky Mountains, this family playground buzzes with neon-lit attractions along the bustling Parkway. Dollywood steals the show with thrilling rides and authentic Appalachian crafts demonstrated by actual artisans. After hiking in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, return for dinner theaters where singing waitstaff serve up country music with your meal. The Titanic Museum rises improbably from the landscape, an exact half-scale replica complete with iceberg. Mini-golf courses compete for attention with go-kart tracks and mountain coasters. For a break from the cheerful kitsch, WonderWorks' upside-down building houses interactive science exhibits. Come winter, the town transforms into a wonderland of millions of twinkling lights.
