There are so many ways to celebrate Christmas in Gatlinburg and the Smokies, but Gatlinburg SkyPark should definitely be at the top of your list. Why? It turns into a Christmas wonderland that everyone in your family will love! Here are a few reasons you need to visit Gatlinburg SkyPark this holiday season:
1. Festive Christmas Decorations
The Lights Over Gatlinburg event at Gatlinburg SkyPark features festive Christmas decorations and thousands of twinkling lights to brighten up the night! After enjoying your ride to the top of Crockett Mountain aboard the SkyLift, take a stroll around to soak up the holiday spirit. You’ll definitely want to get photos in front of the massive Christmas tree! If you get chilly, head on over to one of the fire pits to warm up with a cup of hot chocolate or cider!
2. SkyBridge Tunnel of Lights
The Gatlinburg SkyBridge at Christmas transforms into a magical tunnel of lights! The longest pedestrian suspension bridge in North America, this bridge literally crosses the sky as it stretches 680 feet across a deep valley in a single span. The midpoint of the bridge sits 140 feet above the valley, and there are even glass floor panels to see straight down! There is nothing quite like the sight of the vibrant lights stretching out across the mountain, so you won’t want to miss this unique experience. Plus, the SkyTrail is decked out with holiday lights as well!
3. Incredible Gatlinburg Views
Experiencing Christmas in Gatlinburg at the SkyPark means you’ll be able to admire the incredible views of downtown Gatlinburg lights and the snow-capped Smoky Mountains! Visit during the daytime to experience the stunning panoramic views, then come back in the evening to view the holiday lights as they sparkle throughout Gatlinburg. Whether you are spending a romantic evening as a couple or visiting with the entire family, everyone will love the magical atmosphere!
4. The Best Place to Ring in the New Year
If you happen to be in the Smokies on New Year's Eve, be sure to check out the NYE Lights of Wonder. This special event features live music, lights, a silent disco dance party, food, drinks, and more, as well as the best place to watch the New Year’s Eve ball drop and fireworks from the Gatlinburg Space Needle! Not only do you get to enjoy the “after-hours” experience on NYE, but your ticket also includes free all-day admission to the attraction on New Year's Day!
