The Anakeesta gondola leaves from the middle of the Parkway, and the Astra Lumina walk runs after dark — staying close means you're not driving home at eleven with tired kids. Filter by guests, bedrooms, or amenity to see what's open.

A day (and night) at Anakeesta

Anakeesta sits above downtown Gatlinburg, and getting there is part of the fun. Ride the Crystal Express gondola from the Parkway, then spend the day on the treetop skywalks, the Hellbender mountain coaster, and the gardens and shops at the top.

After dark, the Astra Lumina night walk adds a whole new experience, which is a big reason to stay close by. Our Anakeesta guide covers what to see, and our list of restaurants at Anakeesta helps you plan meals. Nearby, the Gatlinburg SkyLift Park is another favorite.

The Stay & Play Pass — for each paid night you book, your reservation gets one free ticket to each attraction on the list, Dollywood included, good for that day. That's a value of $960+ per night. See how the Stay & Play Pass works.
