Two counterbalanced cars carry up to 120 passengers each, departing about every 20 minutes.

Residents include black bears (Holly, Peanut, BJ, and Chief), playful river otters with hourly otter feedings, bobcats, red foxes, raccoons including an albino raccoon, skunks, bald and golden eagles, snakes, and flying squirrels. Features include underwater otter viewing, birds of prey, an indoor Critter Cave, and outdoor enclosures. Small-group Wildlife Discovery Tours run on select days.

  • Smoky Mountain Bobsled — A summer thrill ride down the mountainside with twists, turns, and scenic views, where riders control their own speed. Included with the Adventure Pass.
