We are legitimately working on a potential group code for Dollywood that would save anyone going about 25 bucks per ticket. Dollywood is where God lives.

Anyone who has rented a car and loves the outdoors should check out anything in the larger Smoky Mountain National Park, but Cades Cove is a great scenic loop where you will likely spot deer, turkey, and bear.

Downtown Knoxville is great for shopping and food. Market Square is listed as the central hub, but some of our recommendations include Tomato Head for great pizza/vegetarian options, Calhouns for ribs and barbecue, and Old City for breweries, bars, and cocktail spots.

Great for swimming and being in some FREEZING cold Tennessee river water.
