We are having a huge family get together(20 people) at one of those fancy cabins in Pigeon Forge. There will 10 kids and 10 adults. One night will be an adults night out( so nice bars or restaurants would be nice!) And then we need restaurants and activities that would be fun for everyone. Low prices are always a plus! We were thinking dollywood and the like, so if you have any experiences with dollywood please share!
Thanks in advance!

Go through "Roaring Fork" in Gatlinburg. It is about a 5 mile tour up around this mountain. It is beuatiful!!! There are lots of historical houses and such along the way and the best thing... it is FREE! Remember to take your camera.
Ripleys Aquarium of the Smokey's is a lot of fun. There is a tunnel that you go through and the aquarium is all around you. The floor moves you slowly through it.
For dinner one night you MUST go see the Dixie Stamped. It is costly but ssssoooo worth it. The food is great and the entertainment is even better. Even my son who was 2 at the time was mezmerized by it.
There is an arts and crafts road in Gatlinburg. There is probably 100 shops of things made right in the Smokey Mountains.
My favorite thing to do there is Cades Cove. It is another motor tour and I believe it was free too. It is a bit of a drive to get there from Gatlinburg (maybe an hour or 45 minutes). It was an actual village at one time. The houses and churches are still standing and you can go inside them. Seems like there was a mill there too... the water was SSSOOOO cold. If you go early enough you can see lots of wild life... even bears.
We have eaten at The Alamo and Black Bear Restaurant
both in Gatlinburg and both great... however I prefered The Alamo.
There is a pancake house in Pigeon Forge that we always go to Seems like it is near the Dixie Stampede but across the street from it. It is a big red barn looking place. It does not look like much but it is so good.
You can ice skate at Ober Gatlinburg and take a sky lift ride up there.
Hope I have given you some good ideas. Look at some websites of these places and see what you think.

For adults, try the Alabama Grill. Great food, pretty good prices. The kids will love Dollywood. Make sure you bring strollers for little kids and a change of clothes. There are some rides where you get wet.
