Is Pigeon Forge, Tennessee a good place to vacation with kids?

I think it is great but I have not been there since my childhood. There is almost “too much to do.” But it is a beautiful area.I was born in Virginia, though I am not sure Arlington or Fairfax County qualify as the “South” these days. I spent parts of many childhood summers on the Tenn/Virginia border at Hungry Mother State Park, which is a Virginia Park. It may be too late to get a cabin or camp ground there for the summer, but there are a lot of fun outdoor things to do. The Lake is great and clean, no motor-boating.

Have you ever visited Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg, Tennessee? If so, how was your experience?

A2A. Yes, I have visited that fine area several times. Late October and Early November was always a great time for the fall foliage.I remember the numbered traffic lights and staying in a hotel once down by Dollywood, although I never went to Dollywood. It’s a great atmosphere with people walking the strip at night. I also remember working through a shopping area that was new at the time near the first few traffic lights. It had a Thomas Kinkade Gallery, an assortment of tourist shops and even a Harley Davidson store.I worked through the surrounding areas as well, and remember Townsend, Maryville, Sevierville, Alcoa, Lenoir City. Driving through Cades Cove was great and something to definitely do if someone is in the area (original buildings, wildlife).I remember a restaurant called the Soup Kitchen in Maryville (the original, I believe), right as you were heading to the mountains. They made some great homemade soups each day that you couldn’t find anywhere else. I went there several times, when I could. Later, I saw one in Cookeville and ate there too. A can’t miss, especially if it’s winter.All in all, I have good memories of the area. The only drawback I can remember was the lodging tax in Tennessee. The highest state I traveled. I remember 17% being nothing unusual, depending on the city and county tax added. Some states were much lower. I thinking, what are they trying to do, run everybody off? If they were, I wouldn’t blame them. I enjoyed talking with people of all places and Tennessee was no exception. I would sometimes start some crap just to liven things up. Glad I don’t do that anymore.I would give Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg Four Stars for a great place to take a family vacation. I’m not sure I would go right now though, might see too many darn MAGA hats and get in a tussle down at the Harley store.Thanks for asking Lisa.
