Fun Activities in Gatlinburg for Large Groups

Blog Home : Category Posts : Fun Activities in Gatlinburg for Large Groups

There's nothing like a fun vacation to Gatlinburg with family and friends. You get to make memories, and most importantly, you get to make them together. However, it can be tricky to find things to do for everyone when you go on a trip with a large group. Fortunately, you're in luck because we're covering our picks for the top six group activities in Gatlinburg, ensuring your next Smokies getaway is a complete success!

Wild Eagle Roller Coaster at Dollywood

Breaking Down Our Top Six Activities

The key to looking for fun things to do in Gatlinburg with everyone else is to identify those activities that offer different things to do in the exact location or provide universally appealing options. As such, you can make the most of your group vacation by trying out these fun attractions and activities.

Experience Dollywood

While technically not in Gatlinburg, this famous attraction is only a few minutes away, making it a valid option for you and the others in your group. Whether you want to ride one of the world-class rollercoasters or enjoy the many crafts shops and shows, everyone in your group is sure to find something appealing when you visit Dollywood.

See Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies

Rain or shine, you can always have an excellent time seeing the awe-inspiring collection of sea life at the Aquarium of the Smokies! Make sure to visit the 340-ft walk-through tunnel that passes through a giant tank filled with toothy sharks. This attraction is even better if you have kids, thanks to options like the Penguin Playhouse and a stingray petting area.

Go Whitewater Rafting

When everyone is in the mood for adventure and seeking an adrenaline rush, you can't go wrong with whitewater rafting. This fun activity is perfect for team-building retreats or simply hanging out with your fellow thrill-seekers, making it an easy activity to insert between your other vacation plans.

The best season for rafting runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day when there are regularly scheduled dam releases on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday.

Try Ziplining Through the Smokies

You can explore the forest canopy in an entirely new way when you try ziplining in the Smokies! With long courses and big drops, everyone will love the thrill of soaring through the trees. Several outfitters are available throughout the area, many of which offer group rates for the best combination of fun and budget-friendliness.

Explore Downtown Gatlinburg

Sometimes, the best activities are where you can enjoy a little bit of everything at an easygoing pace. With a visit to downtown Gatlinburg, you and the others will enjoy access to unique shops, fun attractions, and great restaurants. The best part is there's always something different to find and enjoy, ensuring no two visits are the same.

Explore and Hike Through the National Park

Without a doubt, playing in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is an excellent way to spend time together as a group. We recommend trying out one of the waterfall hikes on your next visit. Not only do you get to see a beautiful sight, but most of them are by the roadside or a couple of miles by trail, making them highly accessible.

If this sounds like a blast, check out our guide to the best waterfalls in Gatlinburg to pick the best waterfall for your group to visit!

Another area of the park we recommend visiting is Cades Cove. There's an 11-mile loop road that takes you to the location, where you'll enjoy some of the most picturesque scenery in the Smoky Mountains. Also, Cades Cove is one of the best spots to spot wildlife like bears, deer, and turkeys.

Coordinate Your Gatlinburg Vacation with Our Gatlinburg Cabins

A common theme for all these activities and attractions is they take time to enjoy. As such, you can't see everything in one day. For this reason, nothing beats booking one of our group-sized Gatlinburg cabins that offer plenty of space, a full complement of amenities, and keep you close to the many group activities in Gatlinburg. Don't wait to enjoy an unforgettable vacation experience done at your own pace!
