New Developments in Gatlinburg for 2016



The Smokies are in a new era of change. If you haven't been to Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg or Sevierville for even a year and a half, you might be surprised to learn of all the new things going on here in the Smokies!

Here are some new things you should be looking forward to in Gatlinburg this season:

* Pearl Harbor Ripley's Aquarium
Ripley's Aquarium keeps things fresh by having one section of their Aquarium change with new exhibits and themes, and this Spring we will see that exhibit turn into Pearl Harbor. Pearl Harbor is a changeable, interactive exhibit featuring models of ships, planes, President FDR, an Arizona BB-39 Forward Magazine, info on the attack itself and the animals native to Hawaii. www.ripleysaquariumofthesmokies.com

* New Show at Iris Theater in Gatlinburg
Starting on March 17th, the Iris Theater at the Space Needle complex welcomes The Impossibilities magic show featuring magical comedian Chris Collins and master mentalist Erik Dobell. You and the whole family will see magic, stunts and other things you could swear were impossible - expect to spend the rest of the night trying to figure it all out! http://www.iristheater.com/

* New Escape Game in Gatlinburg
If 2016 is anything, it's the year of the Escape Game, or rather the year of the grocery store AND the Escape Game, and the new one coming to downtown Gatlinburg is The Captured coming to the base of the Space Needle. We won't spoil anything further other than to say any additional info you want to find will be at www.thecaptured.com.

* New Zaxbys in Gatlinburg
The city of Gatlinburg has surprisingly few chain restaurants when it comes to quick-service food, so it was a very pleasant surprise when Zaxbys moved into the ground level of the Mountain Mall. Up until now, the closest one was all the way out on Highway 66 towards Sevierville. A welcome edition and convenient place for food.

There will be more to talk about in Gatlinburg soon enough, so stay tuned with us here at Gatlinburg Lodging and Allthesmokies. www.allthesmokies.com.
