NASCAR Speedpark
Pretend you're a high-speed NASCAR professional at this park--drive a smaller-sized version of a Sprint Cup car on the premier D-oval shaped course, and see what it really feels like. Or choose to race on one of several other tracks, each with its own challenges and features. Plus, you can race bumper boats, play miniature golf or climb the indoor rock climbing wall. Grab a few friends and get into simulated racing in an 80 percent scale NASCAR race car. The park offers a 50-game arcade and many more rides geared for adults and children alike.

Smoky Mountain River Romp
Kayak or tube down the secluded Little Pigeon River during the summer and early fall for a great way to experience the peace and quiet of the Smoky Mountains. This company puts you in the water at the company's headquarters, also known as the "Barn." You then drift or paddle 2.5 miles and exit at a pavilion where you use a phone to call in for a ride back. Once back at the Barn, take another ride or go have lunch and return to get on the river again.
