I’m going to college down here, and its a pretty good town. I live in Winter Park, far enough away from the hustle-bustle of the inner city or tourist parks. But those things are a great get-away only a few miles away :)

An aquarium in the Smokey Mountains? Sounds crazy, but it works splendidly. I would definitly recommend checking out the Aquarium. Also, you can purchase a pass in Gatlinburg that gives you access to the Aquarium, Believe it or Not, and a Haunted House (All Ripley’s attractions in Gatlinburg). It’s a definite worthwhile package purchase for a tourist to spend a few hours :)

Once a year, for 40 years, my family has been going to Gatlinburg. I’m only 20 years old, but I was lucky enough to be born into a wonderful tradition. The place is great, incredibly clean, and has that mountain-magic with a dose of tourism. There are tons of hiking trails around, not to mention the Appalachian Trail cuts through the smokies, so sometimes you can see a serious trecker with a big ol’ mountain beard come through :) Anyway, I would definitly recommend Gatlinburg, its got so many wonderful memories for me.
