Museum Trip

Day 1

Breakfast at the Apple Barn– 230 Apple Valley Rd, Sevierville.
Get your tastebuds set for all things apple. Complimentary apple fritters and apple julips make your breakfast complete.

Head over to the Titanic Museum. Plan to spend 1-2 hours on this self-guided tour of the ill-fated luxury cruise liner. Activities, artifacts, and the grand staircase await inside.

Next, make your way down the Parkway to The Island at Pigeon Forge. Wander through the unique shops and grab a snack or a bite for lunch. Then on to the nearby Hollywood Wax Museum. You’ll find lots of stars for photo opportunities around every corner. You’ll spend anywhere from an hour to the whole afternoon, depending on how leisurely you stroll through.

How about dinner at Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville? American food with an island flair. You’ll have that cheeseburger in paradise for sure.


Day 2

Breakfast at Pancake Pantry-628 Parkway, Gatlinburg.
This popular breakfast spot fills up early, and once you taste the pancakes, you’ll know why! It’s wise to arrive early, but if there’s a bit of a line, you can grab a coffee at Coffee & Company while you’re waiting.

Today is Ripley’s day—first, the Believe it or Not Museum. 3 stories and almost 500 artifacts of the strange, the bizarre, and the unexplained are waiting to be discovered here. You’ll spend at least an hour.

Walk around the Parkway a bit or dive right in to the Aquarium of the Smokies. You’ll want to spend the afternoon losing yourself in the beautiful mysteries of sea life. Ripley’s is the #1 aquarium in America according to TripAdvisor.

Have dinner at No Way Jose’s Cantina for some authentic Mexican food. ‘Ole!


Day 3

Breakfast at Crockett’s Breakfast Camp– 1103 Parkway, Gatlinburg. Have a delicious breakfast in a log cabin setting. Everything you could ask for and more with a rustic touch.

Get ready to digest some true crime at the Alcatraz East Crime Museum. You’ll find exhibits and items on display from both sides of justice here; some from a few of the most infamous criminals in American history. Plan on 2-3 hours taking in the disturbing and interesting sights.

Now that you’ve turned on the analytic part of your brain, check out The Escape Game. Choose a theme and jump right in. Can you solve the clues and get out within 60 minutes?

Dinner tonight at the Local Goat for some craft food. A gourmet twist on American favorites.
