Wintertime in Tennessee is a wonderfully cozy time of year. Gentle falling snow and white-capped mountains bring to mind wild adventures and settling down after a long day in the cold. However, that life isn't for everyone and there are some of you who just can't wait for summer to come back around The good news is there's a spot in the mountains of East Tennessee that's just for you. The Wilderness At The Smokies has a big indoor water park that's open all year long, but this isn't just a fancy indoor pool. This is the biggest indoor waterpark in the state, and it's sure to give you and your family that summer-in-winter feeling you're looking for. Check it out!

If you're looking for a fun family excursion this winter, look no further than the Wilderness At The Smokies resort, home to the largest indoor water park in Tennessee. Many people will take vacations to the Smokies and why not make your trek during the wintertime? The area is so pretty with a sprinkling of snow and if you happen to be looking for a place to stay that is also an indoor water park then you are in luck because the Wilderness At The Smokies is both!

This indoor waterpark is absolutely full of things to do, including an indoor wave pool, multiple slides, and even an indoor surf simulator.

The indoor park, known as the Wild Waterdome, is over 66,000 square feet and has tons of slides, pools, and water features that are sure to keep you happy all day. They even have a new Kaleidoscope Kavern Lazy River. What is a Kaleidoscope Kavern Lazy River you ask? Good question! It is a lazy river in a tunnel filled with lights and sounds for a fully immersive gentle ride along with the current of the water.

The Waterdome also has a special glass roof that allows tons of natural sunlight in and even allows you to lie out and tan! You'll forget you're even inside. We have driven by many times to see this giant dome lit up at night with swirling colors and motion. If you are wondering where in Sevierville this indoor water park is this should be a familiar sight to anyone who has traveled in the Smoky Mountain area.

If you go during Christmastime, the resort has tons of activities for kids to enjoy, including activity books, and even meetings with Santa on the weekends leading up to Christmas.

There's even an outdoor ice rink from mid-November through early January! Who would have thought you could go ice skating at a waterpark?
