Anakeesta pictures 521 Baskins Creek Road, Gatlinburg, TN 37738

"If you go during the holidays and the line is down the block. Do yourself a favor and skip this. It was almost a 3 hour wait to go up. That means it's just as crowded on the mountain top. Lines for food, snacks, and even the bathroom were really long. Then there is a long line again to go back down. The weather was really windy when we went. They shut a lot of things down, but it didn't stop them from continuing to send people up. This made things that were open even more congested. Views are as advertised and amazing. They really need to consider guest experience during the holidays and limit ticket sales per day to make this enjoyable. Parking was $20.00 on top of the price for the tickets. There is nothing included in your ticket price other than a ride up and down."

"We absolutely love Anakeesta. The views are beautiful, and there just enough to do. Lots of nice things to look at. The treetop skywalk was open this time we went. Super fun! I highly recommend this place if you love the beauty of nature."

"It was a great ride up the mountain with lots to see and do on top. The floral art work and gardens were just beautiful! It cost the 2 of us $65 total to ride up and I thought that was a little pricey but we have to consider their maintenance costs and gardening and keeping it looking spectacular like it did."

"We LOVED it here!! So beautiful and elegant. So much to see and do!! This was kind of a last minute thing so we weren't able to secure reservations for ziplining, but there was still plenty to do. Breathtaking views and very clean. Every staff member we encountered was very nice and helpful. We parked at the garage around the corner ($8 flat daily fee) and rode the Chondola up the mountain. There was a line for the enclosed cars, but the 'basic' lift had (virtually)no line and we were up top in no time. Unfortunately, a rain storm rolled in before we were able to do the mountain coaster, but still enjoyed our day here and will DEFINITELY be back!!"

"Staff was amazing! Let's start by pointing that out. Very clean and organized. Now the website . . . Not so clear on the details. Thought the price included everything listed but it's just the marketing. The place is beautiful but had I known price of admission didn't include what was listed under the admission ticket . . . would have gone somewhere else. Let's add the fact that you have to pay to park anywhere near around $15. Gave it a 4 because the place and the staff is amazing but the admission price should include more."
