Activities

Wildlife Encounter

A visit to the Great Smoky Mountains wouldn't be complete without a black bear sighting and Ober Gatlinburg offers a fun and educational look at our furry neighbors.

Our  Nocturnal House includes various species of native Smokies wildlife such as raccoons, skunks, flying squirrels, turtles, and snakes.   See our River Otters playing at the underwater viewing area, and our Birds of Prey in an enclosed aviary.

Eventually bobcat, fox and other native species will also have homes at this new facility.

*Some animals do hibernate in the winter and may not be available for viewing.*

Ticket valid for unlimited visits the day of purchase. Ages 6 or under must be with adult age 18 or older. No Food or Drink allowed in the Wildlife Encounter.
