Food, fun, entertainment, people watch, walk, shop, drink, explore... there’s lots to do here so give yourself some time. Sample the moonshine at Ol’ Smoky, ride the Great Smoky Mountain Wheel, enjoy the music fountain, catch happy hour at Margaritaville, dine at Paula Deen’s Family Kitchen... make The Island a must-do on your list (it’s less than 15 min from Blue Clear Sky and offers free parking).

611 ParkwayMy brother’s family of 5 loved this place. Ages 16, 14, 10, + mom & dad, all had a ball. Golfball! Choose from 3 different 18-hole courses (pig, chicken, cow), or do all three. Each hole is entertaining and fun, lots of fun photo ops!
Tip: if you’re thinking of doing more than one course, pay the nominal fee ($3?) and your ticket is good at two different locations (also Davey Crockett’s Mini Golf in Gatlinburg) — your ticket is valid for a few months (ask for details!).

Food scene (3 of 8)
This is a favorite breakfast spot of ours, but we’ve also heard great things about lunch and dinner. If you’re feeling adventurous and like to share, try the deep fried cinnamon roll (warning: it’s massive!).
PS- the interior architecture is gorgeous!
Update: We had dinner here in March ‘22, loved it. Large portions, good comfort food. Server was great. A small cup of potato soup offered to each of us as a complimentary starter!
