Tons of hiking. Would recommend laurel falls for easy beginner hike. paved whole way. 2.3 miles round trip, not much elevation gain. Usually crowded.
Then chimney tops if you want something more strenous/better scenery. 3.3 miles round trip, 1500 feet elevation gain.
Then rainbow falls if you want something even more (2.7 miles one way, 1700 feet elevation gain).
There's many many more, these have just been some of my go-to's.
Cliff diving at the sinks. People have been hurt before, but your kids would love it if they're adventurous. Just don't let them do anything stupid. Stay away from the waterfall and jump well away from the rocks, only in the deep water.
tubing at deep creek (far drive) or townsend.
There are other places too if you look.
clingman's dome
whitewater rafting
Dollywood can be fun.
Go see a dinner show.
Hopefully you can fill 4 days with that info.
Forgot to add Cades cove if you want to see animals/ learn about pioneer life. Lots of old churches and farm tools and waterwheels and stuff.

Understatement here. Any of the easy trails and parking areas are going to get crowded fast, and stay crowded, so prepare accordingly.
Many times there is no place to park. Also at top of the park there is a parking lot that fills up fast.

Cades cove
Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail is always fun too.

Last time I was there about a year and a half ago the last little stretch of this one was still closed off due to the fire in 2016. Most of the hike is fine but you couldn't access the rock scramble at the end. Still a good hike, but pretty a pretty strenuous one to not have the payoff at the end.
