Sevierville
 
Sevierville has a variety of attractions that cater to tourists, but residents often prefer the simple pleasures of the golf course. Two local courses are Eagle’s Landings Golf Club and Smoky Mountain Par 3. Within one hour’s drive, there are more than 20 additional clubs. Most of the courses countywide are open to the public.

Sevierville’s attractions are oriented towards family fun. In addition to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, some of the notable venues are: NASCAR SpeedPark, Forbidden Caverns and the Great China Circus. The National Park is a 500-square-mile playground for anyone who enjoys exploring the outdoors. At the NASCAR SpeedPark, visitors can catch a taste of auto racing in replica cars on recreational tracks. The site also features rides, bumper boats, an arcade and a racing simulator.

The Forbidden Caverns and Great China Circus are two of Sevierville’s more unique attractions. The Forbidden Caverns is an educational site where visitors can tour naturally occurring formations, grottos and an underground stream. Interestingly, Tennessee actually has more caves than any other state in the country. The Sevierville caves were inhabited in the winter months by the Eastern Woodland Indians. In later years, bootleggers would use the caves as a discrete site to produce moonshine. The Forbidden Caverns have been open to the public since the 1960s.

The Great China Circus is a live show that pays homage to the entertainers of the Han Dynasty era. The artistry demonstrated by the Great China Circus performers is a tradition that dates back more than two thousand years, when peasants would perform feats in celebration of the annual harvest. The show combines elements of dance, acrobatics, juggling and magic.
