Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge

I haven't been in a long, long time, but there's a reason they hold so many little league tournaments there. It's like that area was built for kids under 16. Dollywood, etc.

Just looking at Dollywood's schedule, there is a harvest fest with 12,000 pumpkins somehow involved that runs for five weeks while you're there.

See if you can get a property with a hot tub. It should be a little bit chilly, and the kids will love getting in and out of the tub and running around.

Don't be afraid to go into the national park and do some hiking. Many of the roads have close to zero traffic on them (at least they did when I went for Xmas break), and you could push a few strollers and check out the scenery.

Anakeesta can be a lot of fun.

Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies

Clingmans Dome Trail...2 & 4 are a little young...but it is paved all the way up the trail...so it is the easiest trail to hike with very small children.

Sugarlands Visitor Center

Moonshine and wine tasting. Not real Moonshine, but its fun.

Just a caveat, it is very steep. Doable, but it's a half mile straight up. (Or maybe a mile, been a while since I did that.)

I went up it with a 4 year old...a hard-headed 4 year old...so it took a while, but we made it, and eventually it was worth it. 2-year old would probably result in a lot of carrying.
