After you check in and get settled, the Visitors Center should be your first stop! Such friendly, helpful people and lots of free and nearly free brochures. It's also a wonderful shop with reasonably priced gifts for all ages and, dare I say, souvenirs (!!) I know we said no t-shirt shops, but we can definitely recommend this place! They have loads of books about the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Cades Cove, and Black Bears. The rangers working in the shop are a wealth of knowledge and you can get all your questions answered and hear timely recommendations BEFORE you enter the park and realize you have no phone service. A MUST see as you begin your Escape TO Reality!

We enjoyed outdoor patio dining here- they are under construction, but still open. Can't wait to see it when they are finished!

Best grocery option in town. May be a little pricier, but has most things you might need last minute and cheaper than the gas you'd use heading back to Maryville. Also a gas station!

Check out all Gatlinburg has to offer at the Visitor Center. Similar to Pigeon Forge, but more walkable. Souvenirs, t-shirts, fudge, moonshine & whiskey tasting, and several entertainment attractions. Feels like a quaint mountain village, but be prepared for (wait for it) crowds and traffic! 😉

Shopping, Dining & Entertainment
This place is always packed, but fun if you like the excitement of a a busy food/shopping/entertainment spot all in once place. Live music, a huge Ferris Wheel, and lots of people! It reminds us a little of Disney Springs (aka Downtown Disney)! 🎡
