For an Active Duo

The Smoky Mountains have some of the best ziplining and whitewater rafting in the region, and we’re proud to say the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is one of the only parks that don’t require an entry fee. For the mother-daughter duo that enjoy being active, there’s nowhere better than the Great Smoky Mountains. The hiking trails, walking paths and outdoor adventures will keep the whole family on their toes.

For an Adventure

There are always plenty of things to do in the Smoky Mountains, and Mother’s Day is no different. Some Gatlinburg attractions are even offering specials to celebrate moms! All the Ripley’s attractions are offering free entry for mothers with the purchase of another ticket on May 11.

If your mom or anyone in the family happens to be a nurse, the Titanic Attraction in Pigeon Forge is offering one free admission until May 11 with a hospital ID or check-stub to nurses in appreciation to all nurses do.
