So you thought Pok\u00e9mon Go would be a nice change because, hey, at least your kids aren\u2019t locked in their rooms anymore, right? Well, we\u2019re offering you an even better solution: a real-life scavenger hunt in the Smokies! This is a chance for your family to work together, checking out popular attractions in Gatlinburg and nearby Pigeon Forge.<\/p>\n
Below, we\u2019ve listed 6 things that really are in the Smokies\u2014from mini-donkeys to real-life mermaids! We\u2019ve provided as many helpful hints as we can, but it\u2019s up to you to solve the riddle! (And don\u2019t worry\u2014we\u2019ve provided answers at the bottom of the page if you get stumped.)<\/p>\n
The great news is, every Smoky Mountain attraction we\u2019ve listed offers some kind of discount when you book your stay with Cabins For You. We call these Cabins For You partners<\/strong>, and we invite you to start a chat with one of our online consultants to find out more about our partnering program today!<\/p>\n We have performed more times than I can remember (donkeys don\u2019t have an elephant\u2019s memory!) for Animal Planet\u2019s Pet Star and The Tonight Show, at theme parks and fairs, and for pet expos, conventions and corporate events across the USA. In the Smokies, you\u2019ll catch me performing at 2 p.m. Do you know where I am?<\/li>\n This show is also the only one in Pigeon Forge to feature youth performers, so bring the whole family to see me and the kids for our fast-paced, country-themed production in the Smokies. You\u2019ll find it in a multi-million-dollar theater with room for 1,500 guests, and you can catch our show nearly every night of the week at 8 p.m. Can you guess which show I\u2019m in?<\/li>\n You\u2019ll enjoy beautiful scenery as I take you back to a time when all Tennessee visitors would have traveled to and through these mountains with coal in the air and the wind in their hair. Join the journey anytime from the end of March through the first day of January. Do you know where to find me?<\/li>\n You can get close enough to see us, but not so close that we\u2019ll scare you or your kids. And even though we love the goodies in your bag, please don\u2019t feed us. We receive a strict, balanced diet from some of the country\u2019s top zoologists. We hope you\u2019ll come see us soon, but can you guess where we are? <\/li>\n But you need to come when it\u2019s warm! We only hang around in Gatlinburg for the summer! Do you know where to start looking? <\/li>\n Answers<\/strong><\/p>\n So you thought Pok\u00e9mon Go would be a nice change because, hey, at least your kids aren\u2019t locked in their rooms anymore, right?

\nYou can find me any given Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday surrounded by many other highly trained, \u201cpaw-tastic\u201d performers. Some of my \u201cComedy Critter\u201d friends include pigs, parrots, housecats, and dogs. You\u2019ll find us in Pigeon Forge on a stage with our owners, Anthony and Alenka King. <\/p>\n
\nI\u2019m part of an exciting Smoky Mountain show that\u2019s celebrating its 20th season this year. Besides American patriotism, this show features dynamic singing and dancing, knee-slappin\u2019 comedy, powerful gospel music, and good ole-fashioned entertainment. <\/p>\n
\nThat\u2019s right\u2014not everything is modernized in the Smokies. You can take a ride with me: an authentic, 110-ton, coal-fired steam engine that will take you on a 5-mile journey through the foothills of the Smoky Mountain. <\/p>\n
\nHi there! Minnie and BJ are our names, and our kids\u2014now 4 years old\u2014are Holly and Chief. We don\u2019t live in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, although many of our friends and relatives do. We live in Gatlinburg with other furry friends, including bobcats, river otters, and flying squirrels. Our home is a large concrete enclosure with lots of places to dig and climb. <\/p>\n
\nYou probably don\u2019t believe us, but we really do exist! We live in Gatlinburg, and you can find us in a huge coral reef exhibit, swimming with the colorful fish. We\u2019ll put on a show for you every day at 4 p.m. <\/p>\n
\nTraveling to Transylvania anytime soon? You need to come find me in Gatlinburg first! I\u2019m a bonafide vampire killing kit, created in the 1840s. I was designed for travelers just in case they ran into unwanted vampires. I offered them protection via my ivory cross-shaped gun complete with silver bullets, some garlic, and, of course, a wooden stake. Come see me for yourself the next time you\u2019re in the Smokies \u2026 if you can guess where to find me!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
