A holiday doesn’t have to be a month-long affair for it to be enjoyable. If you only have one day then why not make the most of it? A popular tourist destination all year round. Since it lies in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, it’s easy to see why.
The official website states more than ten million people visit the resort city. At any given time, millions are staying. So if you’ve ever wondered why it’s so hard to find accommodation, this is one of the many reasons.
That said, there are many places within this resort city to explore. It would be challenging to see and experience them in a day, which is why we’ll help you map an excellent one-day itinerary. Let’s get started.
1. Check Out Dollywood
When you’re in the state of America’s most beloved southern sweetheart Dolly Parton, you must dedicate a small amount of your time to the theme park she co-owns. Dollywood is an exciting amusement park with adrenaline-inducing rides like roller coasters and drop towers.
However, your trip to Dollywood doesn’t end with staying in the amusement park. Among your list of things to do in Pigeon Forge, you should also pay a visit to Dollywood’s DreamMore Resort and Spa. If you have coupons for this destination, you can look into availing of different packages at a discount.
These include complete spa treatments and massages that can rejuvenate you for the day. The hot tub and jacuzzi facilities are also excellent for unwinding, so consider taking a quick dip.
2. Ride The Mass Transit
Mass transit trolley with over 200 stops throughout the town. So if you’re rushing to catch a quick tour, this mass transit is your best bet. The transport system will take you through local attractions like Ripley’s Believe it or Not Museum and nearby restaurants where you can enjoy some southern delicacies. The trolley route depends on the traffic and season.
During the holidays, expect the transit system to be overbooked. Each train covers a different path, for instance, the North Parkway, a twenty-five-minute journey behind Patriot Park, and goes north weaving through Sevierville. You will also pass by the Governor’s crossing and Walmart before it goes south and back to Patriot Park.
Likewise, the South Parkway, also about 30 minutes long, leaves Patriot Park and goes towards the East of Teaster and The North of Jake Thomas to stop at LeConte Convention Center. From there, it carries on South and then turns westbound toward Pine Mountain road before returning to the parkway.
3. Indulge In The Scrumptious Local Cuisine
Your trip is incomplete until you enjoy the local food. Southern meals are the ultimate comfort food. The well-seasoned meat, the delicate balance between sweet and savory, and the hearty serving size remind you of dining back home.
The southern states are known for their hospitality, which reflects in the meals they share with you. Discover eateries all over town, providing you with mouthwatering slow-cooked briskets, deep-fried chicken, and a stack of pancakes that can compete with those around the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris.
For this reason, if you’re looking for a recommendation on what you should try in twenty-four hours, you can never go wrong with a bowl of Mac n cheese. A spoonful of it is enough to take you back to your childhood and reintroduce you to meals you enjoyed as a child. Puckett’s is known for its Mac and cheese and many southern staple dishes.
You can enjoy delicious starters like green fried tomatoes and bacon bites. However, their Mac n cheese is worth remembering and worth indulging in since it is served on a piping hot iron skillet and has the creamiest blend of cheddar and wood-smoked pulled pork giving it a nice bbq like texture. The dish is topped with biscuit crumbs that add more flavor packets to this warm, delicious meal.
4. A Trip To The Island
The Island is an amusement park that spans over 23 acres. There is much you can do here, from going on a quick shopping break and purchasing quality souvenirs to grabbing dinner before you officially resign for the night. Hence, if you’re looking for the perfect way to wrap up your night, you must have fun on the Island.
Don’t forget to check out The Great Smoky Mountain Wheel, a looming 200-tall observation wheel that offers you a bird’s eye view of this quaint town.
5. Head Over To The Wonderworks Museum
The Wonderworks Museum is an arcade for adults and children focusing on science and education. Think of it as an amusement park for your mind. You can explore many activities in this venue, including a department for space, light, and sound and a whole area designated for art.
If you plan to spoil your inner nerd, check out this arcade. You can spend the remaining hours of your day interacting with over a hundred exhibitions to wrap up your busy day.
Final Thoughts
A typical day in this cozy little town involves visiting and exploring different locations.
For instance, your trip can include exploring Dollywood and getting a spa retreat in one of the amusement park’s famous resorts. What better way than a mass transit system if you want to commute around the city?
However, all this movement will make you hungry, so why not stop for a quick bite before moving forward? The last two places worthy of your attention in your limited time include the Island and the wonderworks museum.
Both are popular attractions with each entertaining you in their way. The first is a great place to enjoy shopping and amuse yourself by riding the giant Ferris wheel. At the same time, the latter allows you to explore your intellectual capabilities by taking you on a journey of science and education.
