Christmas in the Smokies is a wonderful experience for residents and visitors alike. The Enchanted Winter Celebration is unlike anything in Gatlinburg with twinkling lights atop Anakeesta mountain with beautiful views, endless selfie spots, and fun for all ages!
With over 70 acres of outdoor family fun, Anakeesta is always looking for new and exciting things to add to our guests experience.
Every year the Sevier County Hospitality and Tourism Alliance awards members of the community with prestigious honors and recognition for their impact on the millions of travelers that frequent the area throughout the year. Anakeesta won the highest honor of Best Attraction of the Year along with other categories recognizing staff and special events!
The final phase of our $6.5 million dollar expansion is complete as we open Cliff Top Restaurant, an elevated dining experience at Anakeesta!
Our Treetop Skywalk is a popular activity but have you ever experienced it at night? Our 16 bridges illuminate the forest for a magical view among the treetops. Everyone looks for the perfect photo opportunity, this unique “walk in the woods” won’t disappoint!
It’s no surprise that Gatlinburg is a favorite destination for tourists anytime of year, but there is something special about fall and “being surrounded by trees of color and trails heading deep into the Smokies.”
Each year Tripadvisor relies on the reviews and ratings of travelers everywhere to appoint the very best attractions with a prestigious award. Thanks to YOU….Anakeesta ranks in the top 10% of Attractions WORLDWIDE!!!
Cooler temperatures, the changing of leaves…. these are all things that we look forward to every year as autumn draws near! Anakeesta mountain has come to life with pumpkins and beautiful colors of orange, red and yellow as we prepare for our highly anticipated Autumn at Anakeesta!
TikTok is a worldwide phenomenon where people can post life hacks, pranks, dance trends, and bears?

This close encounter received over 11 million views on Tiktok in just 3 days!
Anakeesta is a unique outdoor family experience where the beauty of nature offers a relaxing oasis in the sky and activities like ziplining, mountain coasters and treehouses offer adventure for guests of all ages.
