7 Family Fun Experiences in Tennessee
An expansive aquarium, quirky mini golf course and a zoo full of wild animals are just a handful of experiences the family can enjoy together in the Volunteer State.
Since 1971, families that visit Gatlinburg for a trip to the Smoky Mountains have also lined up for a game at Hillbilly Golf. This unassuming destination is so popular, eager visitors are often lined up well before opening each day. Once you grab your club and brightly colored golf ball, a 300-foot incline takes you on a ride 300 feet up a mountain before playing 18 holes on the way back down. This unique experience has been beloved by families for years, and is just one of the great experiences for all ages that awaits in the Volunteer State.
