One of the wonderful things about a winter vacation to Gatlinburg is the opportunity to relax and enjoy the beautiful winter scenery. If you have children in your family, you don’t have to worry about them getting bored during a winter trip to the Smokies. There are a ton of fun activities in Gatlinburg to keep your kids entertained throughout your vacation! Here are 4 fun ways to keep the kids busy during a winter vacation in Gatlinburg TN.
1. Go Snow Tubing at Ober Gatlinburg
One of the best ways to keep the kids busy during a winter vacation in Gatlinburg TN is with a snow tubing session at Ober Gatlinburg! If your kids love sledding, they will love the snow tubing runs at Ober Gatlinburg, and you don’t even have to walk back up the hill! After you reach the bottom of the slope in your tube, you simply ride the Magic Carpet outdoor escalator to get back up to the top! The only restrictions are that tubers must be at least 6 years old and 42 inches tall to ride solo, while children ages 3 to 5 must ride with an adult. Please note that children under 3 are not permitted to ride.
2. Enjoy the Activities at Gatlin’s Fun Center
You can find fun activities for kids of all ages at Gatlin’s Fun Center, which is located between traffic lights 6 and 8 in the center of Gatlinburg. One of the highlights is the Blacklight Golf Course, a 9-hole indoor mini-golf course that takes you under the sea as you play among a giant octopus, a beautiful mermaid, playful dolphins and even a sunken pirate ship! Gatlin’s Fun Center also has the largest laser tag arena in the Gatlinburg area, as well as unique bumper cars with dual lever steering controls! As if that wasn’t enough, you can try one of the themed escape rooms to see if your family has what it takes to solve puzzles and conquer challenges!
