Find Plenty of Family Fun

A vacation just isn’t a vacation without some fun things to do for the whole family, right? At our Smoky Mountain Resort, you’ll discover fun games, enjoy on-site activities (and off-site tours), or fire up a tasty meal on one of our poolside grills.

Gaming Hollow

Step into the pulse-pounding heart of arcade madness, where neon lights flash and the air crackles with pure excitement! Here, every beep and buzz could bring you one step closer to winning on the fleet of tempting claw machines overflow with giant rubber ducks and prizes so outrageous you’ll wonder if reality glitched! Whispers of sweet 80s magic with nostalgic classic arcade games, roll for high scores on Skee-Ball, while nearby, you’ll battle dinos in a pulse-pounding Jurassic Park shooter, blasting raptors with reckless abandon. Challenge your friends to an epic air hockey showdown then cool down with a race to victory. Whether you’re a retro arcade legend or a thrill-seeking gamer, this place is where memories are made—and prizes are won.
