A beautiful and wonderful experience for the entire family.

I really enjoyed the wonderful panoramic view of the Great Smokey Mountains. To see the Great Smokey Mt's from the top is truly an amazing experiance. That's not all though. Below the needle is a really large fun center that is a treat for the whole family. You do have to pay to ride the space needle to the top and to play the mini gold and laser tag, and other games. It's a lot of fun though

An observation deck extending 400-feet above the Pigeon River gives visitors a panoramic view of the Great Smoky Mountains. The space needle is family owned and operated. Built in 1970, the space needle is the main spotlight in Gatlinburg. The view during the day and night is breathtaking, as the Great Smoky Mountains engulf your view with trees, nature, and much wildlife. You have to visit this spectacular site while in the area, it's definetely something you don't want to miss.

PROS: Spectacular views of the Smoky Mountains
CONS: Not for those afraid of heights.
