The temperature is dropping, the leaves are changing, and Anakeesta is ready to celebrate one of the most beautiful seasons in the Smokies! This time of year is one of the most popular for our adventure park. From the Tennessee tourists snapping shots of Willow to the slew of Gatlinburg corporate events we host, Anakeesta is an autumnal favorite in our community. Discover what all Anakeesta offers during the fall with these seasonal celebrations:
A Spooky Celebration
Bear sightings are pretty common in the mountains, but what about alien, witch and superhero sightings? That’s what you’ll see if you come celebrate Halloween at Anakeesta! We’ll be dressing up and offering trick-or-treating for our little goblin guests, tasty fall treats and even some night time ziplining!
October 27-29th
All of our young guests will be given a trick-or-treat bag at the information booth in Firefly Village, and there will be 9 different stations to trick-or-treat on the mountain. We’ll have fun Halloween decor and staff in costumes to put kids of all ages in the Halloween spirit.

A Taste of Autumn
We’ve added apple pie, pumpkin pie and pecan pie to the menu at Pearl’s Pie in the Sky throughout the fall season. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the perfect fall treat!
Honoring Our Heroes
November 28th will mark the one year anniversary of the wildfires that devastated Gatlinburg. As a way to show our thanks to all the first responders who courageously fought the fires we will offer FREE admission to all Sevier County police officers, firefighters and EMT’s as well as their immediate families for the entire month of November.
