There's only one problem with taking a vacation in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee—there's so much to do and so little time. In fact, if you visited every attraction in the Smokies, it could conceivably take you a lifetime full of vacations. So how can you go about narrowing down your choices for your next trip to the mountains?
• Consider eliminating things you've done before. So you've been to Dollywood, Ripley's Aquarium and Titanic. This time, try some of the other dozens of attractions like Star Cars, the Elvis Museum or Rainforest Adventures.
• Shoot for a balance of indoor and outdoor fun. You might try to work in a music theater show one day and then balance that out with a hike in the national park. And there are activities like horseback riding, ziplining and Zorb that also get you into the great outdoors.
• Consider the age range of your group. If you've got young children with you, you may still want to consider a large attraction like Dollywood, which offers something for all ages. If it's just adults, you can easily open up a wide range of options that may not appeal to the younger set.
• Consider your budget. It's always helpful to set a price limit on your trip and then stay within it. That price cap may help you make some decisions when it comes to certain attractions. But the good news is that fun comes in all price ranges in the Smokies, so there's no excuse for ending your visit unhappy.
