Salt and Pepper Shaker Museum
A pretty interesting place you’ll want to visit is the Salt and Pepper Shaker Museum. This one-of-a-kind museum houses all kinds of salt and pepper shakers. The owners started collecting them years ago, and then created the museum so other people could enjoy their collection as well. They charge a $3 admission fee, which then goes towards a purchase in the gift shop.
Gatlinburg Pinball Museum
Another unique museum you should check out is the Gatlinburg Pinball Museum. Gamers of all ages will love visiting this museum. Admission provides you with access to play any of the pinball machines and other retro games. Everyone will have a blast seeing these old machines and playing together.
Outdoor Gravity Park
Outdoor Gravity Park is another interesting attraction you’ll want to experience. You can experience zorbing here. Zorbing is where you get inside a large plastic ball and roll down a hill. Water is put inside the ball to make sliding around easier and more fun! It’s a great way to cool off and have fun. You can ride by yourself or with up to two other people.
