If you’re visiting the Smokies as a group, you probably already realize that planning group travel isn’t as simple as planning a family vacation. Everything must be done on a larger scale, and trying to find fun group activities is no exception. Many don’t allow groups to experience much interaction throughout the activity or, in some cases, to even stay together as a group.
Doing a zipline tour, however, is ideal for groups of any kind, whether it’s a family reunion, corporate outing, church group or school field trip. Each of our Pigeon Forge canopy tours, for example, allows as many as 10 guests to stay together as a group. Only one person is allowed on a zipline at one time, but the group travels as a unit from tree to tree, which can add up to hours of fun interaction.
At Smoky Mountain Ziplines, we have facilities and amenities that are designed to accommodate groups and cater to their activities. Give us a call in advance and let us know what you’re planning, and we’ll make every effort to accommodate your needs.
Believe it or not, we’re actually smack in the middle of one of the best times to visit the Great Smoky Mountains. Once schools are back in session, the number of visitors to Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Sevierville drops off significantly, which makes everything a little easier for visitors—from booking lodgings to not waiting as long in lines for attractions to spending less time in traffic.
That advantage applies to our Sevierville ziplines too. Between now and October, when the fall colors start to change, you can enjoy warmer weather but still get all the benefits of smaller visitor numbers. Here at Smoky Mountain Ziplines, this is the ideal time to hook yourself up with one of the fastest growing family activities in town and experience for yourself what it’s like to speed your way through the treetops.
Remember not to put off coming to see us for much longer, though. Once October hits, the crowds will once again descend on the Smokies to get an up-close look at the area’s spectacular fall foliage.
Are you having trouble unplugging the kids from their cell phones and iPods this summer? Are you considering having them surgically removed from those video-game controllers and TV remotes? If so, then you’re family may be in need of a zipline intervention. And when it comes to getting the whole gang together for some family fun time, our Pigeon Forge ziplines are definitely what the doctor ordered.
After all, it’s pretty hard for a video game or a text message to compete with cruising along a zipline at speeds of up to 40 miles per hour and looking down on the scenery below with a birds-eye view. And when the little ones shout, “Let’s do that again!” you’ll be able to give them the thumbs-up since Smoky Mountain ziplines has 14 different zipline runs in its canopy tour alone.
You’ll also like the fact that ziplining is something pretty much everyone in the family can do, regardless of age (although some age and weight restrictions do apply). And whether you’ve ziplined before or not, it’s an activity that Mom, Dad and the kids can all do equally well once you get the hang of it.
