Are you planning a trip to the Smokies and need ideas for unique activities? Good thing Gatlinburg and the surrounding area have no shortage of attractions, restaurants, and shops to explore. If you plan to visit with your significant other or a group of friends or family, read on to find out some fun things to do in Gatlinburg TN for adults!

1. See our collection of rare supercars. 

Don’t make the mistake of assuming that our Smoky Mountain attraction is a stuffy and old car museum– in fact, it’s quite the opposite! Our high-tech displays feature some of the fastest, coolest cars in the world, with audio, visual, and other special features. Get up close and personal with the collection; you may see a Bugatti, Lamborghini, McLaren, Porsche, Ferrari, and more. Take souvenir photos, sit in one of the supercars, and try out our state-of-the-art racing simulators! 

2. Listen to the local talent perform.

Just a few steps away from our unique Gatlinburg attraction is Ole Red and Jason Aldean’s Kitchen. These two popular spots for live music in the Smoky Mountains provide great opportunities to grab a drink and some food while you listen to the local up-and-coming musical artists. 

3. Try a new Smoky Mountain brew.

Of course, moonshine tastings are always fun, and finding new flavors to try always makes for an enjoyable experience. But if you prefer beer instead, we suggest heading to one of the local Gatlinburg breweries, where you’ll find a variety of unique brews on tap. Smoky Mountain Brewery and Gatlinburg Brewing Company are our top picks, as well as Tennessee Cider Company for hard cider.

4. Take a scenic drive.

Since Gatlinburg is located on the doorstep of the national park, you can easily take a scenic drive through the mountains and explore nature. The Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail is a great choice because you can access waterfalls like the Place of a Thousand Drips and historic homesteads like the Noah Bud Ogle cabin, catch glimpses of wildlife, and more!

5. Bike along the Gatlinburg Trail. 

Another fun and free thing to do in Gatlinburg is to take a bike ride! There are several great biking trails in the Smoky Mountains, and we especially recommend the Gatlinburg Trail because you can access the trailhead right from downtown! Not the biggest fan of bicycling? You can just walk the trail instead, and if you bring your dog with you on vacation, you can take them on the trail with you!
