Rainy Day Activities in the Smokies 

When the days are gray and the storms begin to pour in the Smokies you’ll want to find some good rainy day activities to enjoy. The mountains can be beautiful during a storm but you certainly don’t want to be out in it. To help you find some activities that are best for you, we have come up with a few ideas to make your trip amazing, even on those rainy days when you have to stay inside.

1. Stay Cozy In Your Cabin

The best place to be when it’s rainy out is in your very own log cabin. Enjoy the view from the view of the storm clouds rolling in from your back deck and curl up in front of a roaring fire while you watch a movie, read a book or enjoy a hot drink. You can take this time to play board games with your family and friends or attempt that new party game you’ve been waiting for the perfect opportunity to try.

2.  Local Museums

Staying in on rainy days can be just what you need, but sometimes you just have to go out. Don’t worry, we have you covered! There are many museums in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge that are fun for everyone, especially when the weather is cooperating. Look into places like the Titanic Museum, Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies, WonderWorks and more! These places are guaranteed to provide a fun and entertaining time for everyone in your group, no matter their age.

3.  Moonshine and Distillery Tours

For the adults in your party, consider going on a distillery tour. Moonshine is an Appalachian favorite and has great historic significance to the community. While you’re on tour, enjoy a variety of options like moonshine and more. Visit places like Ole Smoky Moonshine Distillery, Yee-Haw Brewing Co., and Bootleggers Homemade Wine for some of the best tours around.

Despite the gray weather out your window you can still have fun on your vacation. Whether that be from the comfort of your own cabin or going out on the town to explore the beauty of the area, you will have a wonderful day with your whole group.
