Anakeesta

Day or Night Anakeesta is a unique outdoor experience located in the heart of Gatlinburg. Our mountaintop park is a great family value with elements of adventure and relaxation in the Great Smoky Mountains.

Admission to Anakeesta includes unlimited scenic rides via the Chondola or Ridge Rambler to the park. Stroll along the Treetop Skywalk with over 880’ of connected bridges hanging in the air. Climb to new heights atop AnaVista Tower, the highest point in downtown Gatlinburg with 360-degree views of the Smoky mountains. Walk through our botanical Vista Gardens, home to over 3,000 plants, flowers, and sculptures. Discover TreeVenture by climbing, crawling, and sliding your way through this interactive challenge course. Meandering trails, waterfalls and inspirational signage also await you in Vista Gardens.

Thrill seekers can purchase an additional ticket for our Dueling Zipline Adventure and race side-by-side with friends on 2,600’ of lines as they soar through the trees. Satisfy your need for speed while racing down the mountainside on the Rail Runner mountain coaster, the only single-rail coaster in the United States.

At night our mountain op park offers an Enchanted Night Walk Amongst the Stars. Astra Lumina is a new attraction at our park and is the only Lumina walk in the US. Immerse yourself in this illuminating encounter and connect with the stars before they return to the sky above.

Coming in 2023, look for a second mountain coaster and play area with additional dining options at our mountaintop park.
