Let's face it: It's hard to please everybody. Toddlers, preschoolers, school-age kids, teens, grownups – all have different likes and dislikes.
Fortunately there's a Smoky Mountains attraction that appeals to just about everyone: Gatlin's Fun Center located at 716 Parkway, Gatlinburg.
This indoor/outdoor "mini theme park" provides 8 different interactive experiences, with fun-filled adventures for all ages, tots to seniors.
Start with Gatlin's All-New Rugged Ropes Adventure Course
This elaborate aerial obstacle course is tailor-made for tweens and teens, but even preschoolers will enjoy it as long as they're not scared of heights. (Children between 42 and 48 inches tall must be accompanied by an adult.)
The course is self-paced, so you can spend as much or as little time as you like. You don't have to be an athlete, though – just an adventurous spirit
Safely harnessed to an overhead track, you'll climb 3 stories high to face 38 thrilling challenges – from hanging ropes to rickety bridges – all designed to test your balance and agility.
Why not team up together to tackle those tricky obstacles? It's a great way to forge family bonds.
Next, How About Mini Golf?
Gatlin's Fun Center offers several options for kid-pleasing miniature golf:
2 award-winning outdoor courses – 18 holes each – set on a lush, landscaped hillside shaded by towering 100-year-old oaks
1 indoor Blacklight Golf Course, where you'll play through 9 holes "under the sea" amid glow-in-the-dark creatures like dolphins, tropical fish, a giant octopus, and a beautiful mermaid
All 3 courses are suitable for all skill levels, novice to expert. Even the tiniest tots will love searching for buried treasure in the Blacklight Course's sunken pirate ship!
Play Laser Tag 4 Different Ways
Climb up to Gatlin's second floor to discover the largest laser-tag arena in the entire Gatlinburg area – 3,000 black-lit square feet laid out in a challenging maze.
Clad in lightweight vests and armed with the latest phaser technology, you and your family will shoot your way through your choice of 4 heart-pumping games:
Individual Play – you against everyone else
Group Play – with multiple teams in friendly (but fierce) competition
Team Capture – every time you hit an opposing team's player, he or she becomes part of your team
Vampire – where you try to "slay" bloodthirsty vampires before they sink their teeth into you!
All 4 games are recommended for kids over age 5 and at least 44 inches tall, although grannies have been known to dodge lasers wielded by little grandkids, according to TripAdvisor.
Bash and Smash in State-of-the-Art Bumper Cars
Youngsters of all ages – 44 inches and taller – will have a blast in Gatlin's bumper-car arena. All cars feature dual-level steering controls, so you can bounce, bump, thump, and spin in any direction you like.
Escape from 5 Different Themed Escape Rooms
It's downright addictive! You and your family will race against the clock to solve live-action mysteries featuring brainteasing puzzles, daunting challenges, and surprises at every turn. From the lost city of Atlantis to a pirate ship loaded with perils... you'll face thrills and chills galore as you escape from each intricate adventure.
Plus, Navigate a Laser Maze, Run an "Atomic Rush" Race, and More
