The Gatlinburg area offers lots to see and do, but the costs can quickly add up if you're not careful. However, with the Gatlinburg Adventure Pass, powered by Xplorie, you can have all the fun you want while better controlling your cost. We'll help you learn
What is the Gatlinburg Adventure Pass
The Adventure Pass program is our way of helping you better take advantage of the attractions and activities available in the Gatlinburg area. With a stay in one of our Gatlinburg cabin rentals, you'll enjoy attraction tickets included that are delivered after booking, which you can use during your trip, including the day of check-out. More entertainment and more adventure await you and your guests.
How the Adventure Pass Works
So, how do you actually use the pass? We keep the process simple, so you can focus more on the good times with loved ones instead of the details. All you have to do is:
- Book your stay: As soon as you book, you have access to the program.
- Get your activity link: An email will be sent, usually within 48 hours, which includes access to a personal activity booking page.
- Browse your options: From the personal page, filter for the attractions you want, check details such as available dates, and narrow down your choices.
- Reserve your tickets: Once you find what you want, reserve your tickets through the platform, and you'll receive your digital tickets via email.
Following this process gets you one ticket per activity per day throughout your stay with us.
What "Included Tickets" Really Means
Included tickets always sound good, but we're going a step further to explain exactly what this really means, so you're as prepared as possible to maximize your use of the Adventure Pass program.
These tickets are not unlimited. The tickets reset daily and do not arrive all at once. The best way to get the most value from your tickets is to choose according to the activities and attractions you want to visit and also have time for.
Also, you're able to buy additional tickets if you need them, but you'll want to consider the total cost before committing to your chosen tickets.
If you want more detailed information about how tickets are applied to specific attractions, you can explore our Adventure Pass FAQ, which includes a link to Xplorie, for a deeper breakdown.
Done right, and these tickets will add experiences to each day of your trip to Gatlinburg and the rest of the Smoky Mountains.
How to Use the Adventure Pass Smartly
At this point, you know what the program is about and how to use it, but now is the time to learn how to use your attraction tickets in Gatlinburg and the Smoky Mountains. To accomplish this, we've put together some helpful tips our guests have benefited from:
- Keep it to 1-2 activities per day.
- Don't try to see everything.
- Coordinate your ticket use with other activities.
How you plan to enjoy your vacation in the Gatlinburg area will also determine the effectiveness of your included attractions, which can help you decide if the Adventure Pass is worth it for your trip.
Since the Adventure Pass is included with your booking, it’s there to use whenever it fits into your plans during your stay.
Are you planning to spend multiple days in the national park? You might only use the tickets occasionally. Do you want to spend time downtown? There are lots of attractions available, making the ticket options more valuable.
Pro tip: Consider the type of vacation you want, whether it's a family trip or a couple's retreat, and narrow your ticket options that way for the best use case for your tickets.
