Activities

Anakeesta

Anakeesta is a “theme park” that is on the main strip in downtown Gatlinburg.

To get to Anakeesta, you will take the chair lift (the “Crystal Express”) or the “Ridge Rambler” which is a heavy-weight truck that will drive you up to the theme park.

Anakeesta offers a great number of attractions, activities, shops, and restaurants when you arrive.

  • Anavista Tower (picture on this page)
  • Bird-Venture
  • Treehouse Adventure Play Area
  • Treeventure Challenge Course
  • Treetop Skywalk
  • Hellbender Mountain Coaster (additional cost applies)
  • Rail Runner Mountain Coaster (additional cost applies)
  • Dueling Zipline Adventure (additional cost applies)
  • Astra Lumina (additional cost applies)
  • Anakeesta Gem Mining (additional cost applies)

There is a paid parking lot by the entrance to Anakeesta, but it gets full very quickly in the mornings. If coming from Gatlinburg Landing, we would recommend parking at the community center or city hall and riding the trolley. Parking is free at those two locations.
