Thank you! Hope you all enjoy!! It’s wonderful

We went in November specifically for Astra Lumina. We had a great time, and will definitely go back for a visit in 2023.

Wanted to go up there few days ago but closed for the day due to winds, so I went to check the Skybridge it was cool.

Thanks for the review,

That price though. I notice you didn't mention that Astra Lumina is north of $50pp. One could spend most of their vacation budget just at Anakeesta if you've got a family of six.

Thanks for mentioning that. It would be at least $400 just for me and my two sons once you add everything up. Not including food/drinks

Astra Lumina is $15.99 extra per person. My family of four cost about $230 for general admission plus Astra Lumina. Not cheap for sure, but if you spend a whole day there it could be worth it.

I took my family to Anakeesta 7/30/23 plan on being a $500 day for a family of 4 and we didn't go crazy or buy any souvenirs however it is pretty but just not really worth the cost because everything you do is a additional cost felt like a tourist trap but if you go do it in the evening and stay till closing

This place is pretty reflective of a lot of the Gatlinburg attractions as a whole. Overpriced and underwhelming. Throw in the typical parking fees and a la carte rides that you pay for on top of the fee just to get in and it quickly becomes an expensive rip off type of experience. Gatlinburg itself has a scuzzy roadside carnival feel to it as well. Definitely a once and never again place to visit for me. There are worthwhile things to do in the area but I’d be hard pressed to say Gatlinburg (namely things on the strip) is one of them.

​@@davidk6204 So, I've enjoyed all my visits to the area but I think you put into words the general feeling I had every time I went....a little overpriced and scammy. Do you have any favorite suggestions in or near the area that you feel are overlooked?

This was very helpful. I'd love to visit this place when I go to Tennessee this summer. My only concern is the price of admission plus parking which sounds quite steep for something like this. But maybe are hotel will be within walking distance so I won't worry too much about that. But how many hours do you think one would need to experience everything there? 2 to 3 maybe?

Hey Mitchell! How are you doing my friend? Thank you for watching! Parking was like $20. Yeah 2-3 would do it if you don't have younger kids with you. The views are great! I'd try to go on a more clear day, so it won't be all clouds!

You are more than welcome! Yes! If you have one, you can... We had our baby who was 3 months at the time in our harness on our chest. But you can bring a stroller.

Any rv parking, or decent rv sites near here?

If anyone goes to Gatlinburg I would also recommend if you are interested in any cars you should go to star cars.

Hey there, we brought our 3 month old with us and it worked out great! They have them at every restroom location! :) You will love it!

$10 hot dog and $13 large soft pretzel. Very very expensive as is the whole Gatlinburg area.

Me and my wife will be visiting anakeesta in July. Are adults able to do the bearventure and bird venture? Or is it just for kids?

Hi, How are you. We are planning to do ziplining can you pls share your experience. Is it scary.

I'm sorry but the 2 hour wait to get up there was awful. Another 2 hour wait for the coaster ride sucked up half our day. My 4 older teens didn't like it at all.

Took my brother and my sister and brother-in-law and mom there and it is very costly not really worth it and I think you work for them because they wont let people fly drones up there and you have drone footage but I did go back down to the parking garage and fly one of my drones up from down there

It looks fun. But, it doesn't seem to have anything for people who need to use a wheelchair or mobility scooter.

Extremely expensive you can get the same views for free. Don't waste your money $$$$$

Eehhh just went. Overrated and boring
