Set against the misty blue backdrop of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Pigeon Forge, Tennessee is a gateway to 500 thousand acres of Appalachian wilderness.

Founded by country queen, Dolly Parton, Dollywood combines rollercoasters, waterslides, and live bluegrass and gospel concerts, with a down home country fair.

We stopped at this arcade on our impromptu trip to TN from WV... Samantha & Tori we’re constantly cleaning & helping customers! I was impressed from the start! The bathrooms were TOP notch! Smelled and looked so clean! They were extremely nice, helpful and so calm with my overly excited children who couldn’t pick out their prizes. Tori heard us talking about how we drove straight there to have a little fun & planned on heading straight back home. They offered to take our picture to display on the big screen! It was a lot of fun, with an amazing atmosphere. Big Top Arcade was the highlight of our little trip. We are definitely coming back!

I was on a mission to find some little mini moonshine jars for friend back at home. I prefer the minis until I can find one I like (not big in the tastings) and they make good little bring home gifts! Well, after 2 distilleries and many gift shops later, I found this little slice of heaven. Got 6 minis in all of the different flavors I thought I’d like (they offer the mini version of almost all of their flavors). And along the way, I ran into their jelly candles and gel melts (think wax melts but in jello form ????) and oohhweee do they smell AMAZING! You really can’t beat the price in this little “off the path” shop! I think I paid around $6.50 for the mini moonshines and they had a buy 5 get 1. And the bigger jars are $25. They also offer many more flavors than you main distillery joints. I’m talking cotton candy, pina colada, banana pudding, orange creamsicle, and SOOO many more. And that’s just the moonshine... they also offer many flavors of dark whiskey and wine as well. If you’re in the area and looking for some good, different moonshine, I’d stop in for a quick visit. They also offer free tastings in case you’re not sure on what to get. Stop in, you won’t regret it!

One of the best shows ever, a little skeptical at first sighting, off beaten path , in back of parking lot with couple block buildings, first impressions where, what the hell did we get into, gut once we entered inside office talked to owner about show, we realized , we’re here now n let’s enjoy the show, it’s a small theater, with old movie seats in couple rows, we sat up front center stage, after awhile a small bus group came in to see show, it was really great show very personal, would definitely do it again soon , as they say don’t judge book by it’s cover, glad we stuck in there, we found a little gem , Elvis is great entertainer....
