Tuckaleechee Caverns
 

A visit to Tuckaleechee Caverns is a great way to explore underneath the Smokies. It is also more convenient to visitors staying in or visiting Townsend. Tuckaleechee Caverns has been opened to the public since 1953 and the first tours were conducted by the light of kerosene lanterns. Today, of course, the cave is wired with electric lights. One of the most remarkable sights in Tuckaleechee is an area of the cave called the Big Room - a room 400 feet long, 300 feet wide and over 150 feet deep at its deepest point. Another awe-inspiring sight in the cave is the 200 foot high double waterfall.

Dollywood Food and Prices

Published in : Attractions , Attractions and Activities

If you've never been to Dollywood - and even if you have - you may wonder about food at Dollywood. What food does Dollywood have beyond the standard hamburger and fries? What are prices like? If you have an idea about what food is available at Dollywood before you go, you will be better able to plan your visit.

I have broken out the menus by area of the park. I have also indicated whether it is counter service with no seating or with seating, or full service restaurant. In general you will find that Dollywood has a variety of food and food prices at Dollywood are as reasonable as (and in some cases more reasonable than)  most theme parks.

Caves In The Smokies

Published in : Attractions , Attractions and Activities


While most people visit the Smokies because of the natural beauty of the mountains, there are also plenty of amazing sights underneath the mountains. Tennessee has the most registered caves in the entire US - over 8,300. Of course, most of these aren't open to the public but there are two caves in the Smokies that are. Both Forbidden Caverns in Sevierville and Tuckaleechee Caverns in Townsend offer visitors some amazing sights you won't see anywhere else in the Smokies.
