Tips for family trip to Smoky’s, Gatlinburg area with 4 year old

Trying to plan one. Maybe late Spring? Cabins are the top choice, nature and outdoors. Would be cool to be near some kid friendly stuff. Not afraid of a day in Dollywood or something. Just looking for tips from those that may have made a similar family trip. TIA

Spend as much time in the park as possible. Let the kid play in the streams

Check GSMNP site and attend ranger led programs, they can work on their junior ranger badges.

My tip is to go somewhere on the NC side of the Smokies. Bryson City, Sylva, Maggie Valley, hell even Cherokee. Way less crowded and congested, and easier access to the park.

There’s a big arse outdoor mall in Pigeon Forge. It’s worth going to one night. Kid and old lady will love it.

We used Airbnb for our cabin this year, worked out great.
We picked a place that was on a road directly between pigeon forge and Gatlinburg. It was the perfect location for both getting into either town, or going to the park.

We love Bryson City-way less crowded than Gatlinburg.

The aquarium is awesome and a great way to spend half a day.
We normally stay in a cabin right outside of Gburg and love it. In November we stayed in a cabin half way between PF and GB and it was damn near impossible to get to in the rain due to the incline and the turns so just keep that in mind if you don’t have 4WD.

We rented a house on one of the tallest points in Pigeon Forge. The view was unbelievable. Dollywood will be a good day trip. Cades cove makes a great trip, but recommend doing it later in the day to see the most wildlife.

Recently took a 3 year old and they seemed to enjoy
The Island in the Pigeon Forge area (I enjoyed Paula Deen's restaurant there)

Dollywood in Pigeon Forge
The Aquarium in Gatlinburg
Breakfast at Pancake pantry in Gatlinburg
Watching taffy being made at Ole Smoky Candy Kitchen in Gatlinburg
Ober Gatlinburg

Picnic at The Chimneys in the National park (just past Gatlinburg)

And I really enjoyed Holston's Kitchen in Sevierville
