Anakeesta Gatlinburg Tennessee:
Anakeesta is an award-winning mountaintop adventure park located above, and in the heart of, downtown Gatlinburg Tennessee. Our nature immersive park offers an authentic Smoky Mountain experience for families of all ages. Anakeesta literally means “the place of high ground” in the Cherokee language. Anakeesta is situated on a 70-acre mountain 600’ above the city of Gatlinburg Tennessee.

Gatlinburg is the gateway city to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. As the most visited National Park in the United States the area sees up to 14 million visitors annually. Travelers from around the world enjoy the hiking, attractions, restaurants, shopping and entertainment that can be found in our area.

The promise of Anakeesta is to create a unique, authentic outdoor family experience by immersing guests of all ages in the beauty and adventure of the Great Smoky Mountains. By providing diverse offerings and quality craftsmanship we will instill a sense of appreciation and wonder for the Magic That’s in the Mountains.

The journey to Anakeesta begins with a scenic Chondola (chairlift) ride from the busy Parkway in downtown Gatlinburg Tennessee to the summit of Anakeesta Mountain. Here guests enter a world of whimsy and discover treetop adventures, a lush botanical garden, shopping and dining all amongst the backdrop of the sweeping views of the great smoky mountain national park.

Featured activities include the Treetop Skywalk with hanging bridges spanning 880’ more than 50’ above the forest floor and AnaVista Tower, downtown’s highest point offering 360-degree views. Adventure seekers love the Dueling Zipline tour and Rail Runner mountain coaster along with netted play areas including the treehouse themed TreeVenture Challenge course. The Memorial Forest Walk and immersive Vista Gardens provide informative and relaxing spaces with views of the great smoky mountains!

Anakeesta also offers a variety of dining choices. Enjoy an elevated experience with views of Mt. LeConte at Cliff Top or slow-smoked southern barbeque at the Smokehouse. Craft beers and specialty cocktails can be found at our full-service bars with indoor or outdoor seating. Gather around one of our three firepits with friends to enjoy a sunset or count the stars at Firefly Village, Black Bear Village or atop Vista Plaza. Guests love to discover Anakeesta where a mountain of entertainment awaits in Gatlinburg Tennessee. As we mentioned Astra Lumina we hope this video below helps answer the question Is Astra Lumina Worth It?

    I'm trying to understand why the entrance fee is so high if nothing is included.
  • @irishnd31
    Your videos are second to none. I have enjoyed watching and not only learning about the Gatlinburg area, but also getting to see a beautiful wonderful family enjoy their time together in such amazing place. Thank you all so much for allowing us a sneak peek into all there is to do in Anakeesta. You have a big fan here in PA.

    Excellent video as always. The wife and I have only been coming to the area for 2 years and Anakeesta is one of our favorites. We bought a season pass last year despite only be there for two weeks. Love the lift, the view, the gardens, the tower and especially loved Astra Lumina. It gives you a nice break from the garbage shops, candy shops, and wineries on the strip. We could sit in those rocking chairs for hours.
  • With great weather this place looks amazing. Haven't been in 3 years. Been waiting for additions to finish but looks like it will be a place of continued growth.
  • Thanks for the full and complete tour of Anakeesta. That is a place I have not been yet and it was great to see what all is up there. Ryan you are the adventurous one. I was laughing at you climbing up to the top of the owls house. One of these times when I am down there again we have to go there, it looks like alot of fun. Thanks for another entertaining and informative video.
  • @nkeesha72
    I had fun, just to many bears for me, they walk around like stray dogs
  • @KR-sh6rm

  • @sexymariett

  • @chrisstaab8028
    Great review thanks to you me and my family will visit there in May, keep up the excellent reviews
  • @jamesyu613
    wow that looks so breath taking, glad you guys had a fun time
  • @thecoolestdad
    Anakeesta is getting better and better. I remember when it first opened and you were showing the place. Not much at all back then. I remember commenting that I didn't feel it was worth it back then. But I have waited and watched all your vids about the place and now I am quite impressed. We will definitely add it to our list of things to do on future trips up there.
  • @MichaeldeFilippi
    Bought a season pass a couple weeks ago. Was blown away by this place!
  • @shelleybauer4955
    I was just at Anakeesta a week ago! We love it there! We saw a mama and baby bear! We also tried the new Birdventure and we love the TreeTop Skywalk!!
  • Never been to Anakeesta but would love to visit. Looks so pretty. Thank you for sharing this video. Side note: learned from this video that I've been pronouncing Mt. LeConte wrong for YEARS 😂
  • @itree13
    been there 100 times is the most wonderful place to spend time with family🎉
  • I love your videos. I was showing one of My Friends what Anakeesta is and randomly realized I'm in this video lol 😆 😅 💖 💙
