This would have been skipped if not for the sign along the interstate. I thought, "Wait, THAT…read moreCrockett?" and yes, this is related to the pioneer Davy Crockett who was killed at the Alamo. A lovely friendly woman at the desk who informed me that they only accept cash or checks, which is quite 1800s if you ask me. I had already used up my cash (need to get more) and have Google Pay or cards. Oh, well. Thankfully, you can still walk the grounds for free and there's enough to see there too. This is the site of the original Crockett Tavern which was established and operated by John and Rebecca Crockett, the parents of David Crockett (1786-1836). It was the boyhood home of the pioneer and political leader of Tennessee. It is located along what was then the main trail from the east to the new frontier which is now US-11 and I-81. Lots to see with artifacts, a Conestoga wagon and memorabilia from the period. I found it interesting and $5 per person is a reasonable entry fee. Parking is a little limited but otherwise I'm glad I spotted the sign. [Review 20141 overall - 466 in Tennessee - 1117 of 2023.]

If you bring the kiddos promise me you'll get them each a coonskin cap. Aww, c'mon! It's Davy…read moreCrockett! Well, what can I say? They do a great job here. The museum is clearly marked and easy to spot right on the side of the road. Parking is easy across the street but it's also right near the residential area and I hate to park anywhere that might disrupt others. Guess they can't do too much about that tho. There is a walk area with adjacent facilities if you want to wash up after your travels. Nothing fancy, but clean and tidy. The museum is mainly open May-October so plan ahead for some sightseeing. The buildings are awesome. Replicas, of course. But nevertheless really cool to see and learn about Davy's early days working at pop's tavern. Try to get here during one of the living history days. Every child wants to wear a coonskin cap and romp around in the green like a frontier kiddo. Just do it.

This is a special fall attraction for the family. The maze is awesome. We were there in the…read moreafternoon, but they have evening hours where you can do the maze with a flashlight. As great as the maze was the, the younger kids had more fun on the in ground trampoline, petting zoo, sitting on the tractors for pictures, the really cool rustic playground, ect. The kids will not run out of things to do. You can purchase simple lunches like hotdogs and burgers but they have outdoor grills so you can bring you own food. The people around us were roasting smores. The vibe was so upbeat and easy going. It is worth a drive from the tourist areas. There is everything down home and nothing commercial, as grand as it is. For $11. each, the kids can do anything they want, as long as they want and pick their own pumpkin. Getting close to Halloween, the pumpkins were a little picked over. But, this place is awesome. No price gouging. It is about 15 minutes from the heart of Pigeon Forge where Magic Quest is. Their facebook page gives more information than their website, along with pictures and videos: https://www.facebook.com/ballingerfarm/ It may be better to call ahead. We were prepared but didn't know they were only accepting cash and check at the time. It sounded like a temporary thing. Luckily, we had money on us. It could have been a bummer for those who didn't know. But, overall, there are not enough nice things to say about Ballinger Farm Corn Maze.

Since moving to the area a few years ago we missed the fall activity of picking apples. This was a…read morebit of a drive from our house but well worth it. The hours and dates of you pick apples are listed on their Facebook page. The farmer was very nice and welcoming. There were a few varieties to pick from. The view from the orchard was amazing.

The little couple who own Buffalo Orchard are too sweet. They have a free hayride that takes you to pumpkin patch, rows upon rows of apples and a huge sunflower field. You can pick your own or buy pre picked. We got two packs of apples, three large pumpkins and 8 baby pumpkins for 25$! We had a great time and highly recommend this place.

Prices vary from a few dollars, to a few hundred dollars and the inventory changes weekly so there's always something new. I love that everything in the store is made by local artisans, and the prices are VERY reasonable. There is also almost always a nice selection of sale items in the store as well. Service is super friendly, you can often find out a lot of background on everything in the store by the knowledgeable and friendly clerks. They also have an adorable store cat that loves to hang out on the checkout counter and say hello to all of the shoppers. All items are wrapped in colorful tissue and ribbon which makes gift giving a snap!
