    What can I say? This was an experience I'll never forget. Somehow, I didn't even know this wonderful tribute was in Pigeon Forge so to see it and be able to fit it in during our vacation was unbelievable. I stepped back in time and the sight of the General Lee literally brought tears to my eyes, that embarrassed me at the time because I didn't expect that reaction. I couldn't help it though, seeing it in person brought me back to my childhood and fond memories of time spent with my dad who passed away a few years ago. I miss him so much and this just brought a lot of good memories back. Dukes of Hazard was my favorite show as a tiny one, in fact I thought my dad was ON the show because one of the main characters looked a lot like my dad. I was 3 ok. I carried around a little General Lee hot wheels car everywhere I went. It was my favorite toy. Seeing the memorabilia, old merchandise, props, autographed pictures and so much more...and all for FREE admission was fantastic! If you were ever a fan of the show, I HIGHLY recommend a visit. A wonderful place full of great items and the sweetest staff (thank you kindly for the tissue and recognizing I was having a moment).

    Cool place to go if you're a Dukes of Hazzard fan. Lots of merch and cool stuff. The day i was there, sheriff Cletus (Rick Hurst) from the show was there.

    I was cuffed and stuffed by Cletus!!!

    What a cool nostalgic place. Who can honestly say that they don't like Cooter ! I know I sure do. The memorabilia was awesome.

    Some attractions sell an experience…read more Some sell a product. The Apple Barn Cider Mill somehow manages to do both. What started as a simple stop turned into one of the more enjoyable experiences of our trip. The star of the visit was our guide, who took us on a cider journey through the various flavors and offerings. She was friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely seemed to enjoy what she was doing. She answered questions, explained the differences between the ciders, and made the tasting experience fun instead of feeling like a sales pitch. And since there's a chance she might somehow see this review: Happy 40th Birthday! Sorry I forgot your name, but your hospitality certainly wasn't forgettable. Now let's talk about the cider. Excellent. There was a large variety of flavors available to sample, making it easy to compare styles and find a favorite. Whether you're new to cider or consider yourself a seasoned enthusiast, there's enough variety here to keep things interesting. After sampling our way through the lineup, we wound up purchasing a glass of the original apple cider and enjoyed it outside. And honestly, that's where the experience really came together. Sitting outside with a fresh cider in hand, playing cornhole and Jenga, enjoying the atmosphere, and slowing down for a little while made for a genuinely relaxing afternoon. No rushing. No crowds pushing you along. Just good cider and good company. We also picked up a growler to bring back to the hotel because one thing became very clear during the tasting process: leaving empty-handed would have been a mistake. The Apple Barn Cider Mill does a great job creating an experience that's welcoming, fun, and memorable without feeling overly commercialized. Great cider. Great staff. Great atmosphere. Five stars. And judging by the growler currently waiting back at the hotel, I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

    We have been visiting every year since 1980, and always have a Grande Time…read more Travel Tip: try to avoid if tourist buses are present. The Apple Barn & Cider Mill is a great preview for surrounding shops. Must visit.

The staff were friendly and helpful, and there were plenty of maps, brochures, coupons for local attractions, and souvenirs to browse while we planned our adventures. The location is one of its biggest advantages. Compared to the smaller downtown visitor center, I much prefer this one because it's easier to get in and out of, has ample parking, and feels less hectic than navigating the busy Parkway area. It's a convenient stop whether you're heading into Gatlinburg or the national park. One thing to note is the new park parking policy: if you park for more than 15 minutes inside the Smokies, you'll need to purchase a parking tag. I was initially a little frustrated by that, but I understand the need to help support park operations and visitor services. Later, I learned the parking tag revenue goes to the federal government (currently being used on DC projects) rather than staying at this specific visitor center or within the local community, which was disappointing to me personally. Overall, this is a clean, welcoming, and well-organized visitor center that makes a great first stop before exploring the Smokies.

We made several visits to the center to pick up maps, parking passes, shirts, post cards and gifts. The staff is super friendly, helpful and will answer questions. Prices are reasonable. They carry hiking and Park guides. I highly recommend picking up maps because internet connectivity is rarely available in the Park. Free maps are available and specialty guides are only $1. Restrooms are available at the Center. There is limited parking and a larger lot up the hill. We always found parking no matter what time of day that we visited. The Center is also a stop and provides parking to ride the free trolly that goes to Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg.

Disappointed, I called them. Later when I was meeting my friend somewhere I received a text from the owner explaining the situation and that she was open now and hoped I would stop in. Talk about great customer service so, of course, we went back together. Shop is full of local craftsman items which was right up our alley. I bought a beautiful and very unique pottery mug and my friend purchased a homemade card. Reasonable prices and we both love our purchases. There were many types of items... too many to list so just trust me and check this store out. I paid with a credit card and noticed much later that there is a charge for a non cash purchase.. not much (probably a percentage of your purchase) but had I known I would have paid cash... kudos to the business for promoting cash transactions in essence (of course, it saves them money I am sure). We need to continue using cash in this country, though, in my opinion. At any rate, on my next visit to town I will definitely stop into this general store and I wish the owner the best with the business. The owner is very friendly, also.
