The park is great. I liked the Titanic museum a lot. There are tons of family oriented attractions all around the area.

Need more info?
Are you trashy? If so stay in town and do all the tourist trap shite. If not go to the park and get away from the trashies.
But seriously there is a ton of awesome outdoor activity to do. Avoid the strip and all of the tuirist traps and enjoy nature IE rafting, hiking, wildlife viewing etc.

Oh man, that sounds like torture. I foresee a lot of minigolf and pancakes in your future.

Hit the trails. Hiking is the best thing about the area IMO. Also, I always take a picnic lunch and hit one of the parking areas by a creek. Let the kids play in the creek (there will be plenty other kids doing the same), then eat lunch.
I like Huck Finns Catfish in Pigeon Forge to eat. Other than hitting that and a pancake house, we always cook and eat at the cabin.

Load up on throwing stars, coon skin caps, pocket knives, and taffy.
Seriously, do the park stuff.
Cades Cove
Roaring Forks Motor Nature Trail
Clingmans Dome
Lots of great hiking trails

A lot of tourist traps set in a beautiful area. Do yourself a favor and enjoy the outdoors. Pick a few trails, go to Cades Cove, tubing, rafting, fishing, etc..
If you have kids there are tons of mini amusement parks to keep them busy and Cades Cove will have wildlife viewing from your car. I think park rangers have a few night shows you can attend which may be fun for kids (if they still do them).
As far as eating, i'd say Apple Barn is good and kinda fun experience. There is also a little bar n grill called Blue Moose which was great last time we went.
Final word of advice, Gatlinburg is like the strip. It will be fun to walk a time or two but don't waste too much time there. Go explore the surrounding area instead.

Go to that upside down place

Apple Barn-must eat; get there a little early so you can go in the connecting stores
Dollywood- cinnamon bread at Old Mill inside park
The Alpine Coaster is alot of fun too.
Dixie Stampede- pricey though
Comedy Barn is neat; family fun show
Cades cove early in the morning or about an hour before sunset is best

How old are your kids? They could be miserable at Cade's Cove. It is a long driving loop to look at nature/historical buildings. It can take several hours to make the loop even without stops at any of the sites. I am not saying don't do it - just be prepared for it to take forever.
Consider the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail - much less crowded.
