Ober Mountain

Our family visited and turned our fun pass into a full day of adventure and fun. We parked on site and enjoyed the things for kids. We came for ice skating. We did that and so much more. Plus the tram ride to downtown was nice and we spent time in downtown before returning to ober. Less crowds due to weekday definitely made this more enjoyable. Be sure to visit the animal area. Our kids loved the others and seeing the bears.

The Zoo is after you ride the Tram up to the next level it's on the left. LISA at the Otter area is so helpful and friendly. Keep up the great work. You can see you love your job. There is so much to do here at Ober Mountain (Go Early and Stay all day). With the FUN PASS that is very cheap, you can ride the Tram(all day long), the Chair Lift(to the observation deck (a view that is breathless), Ice Skate, Ice Bumper Cars, lots of other things as well. See Stacy at the information area when you come in (on right) if you have any questions, she is so HELPFUL and full of KNOWLEDGE of this mountain. She has a great personality too. Keep up you love for Ober Mountain. Our first time there, not sure if we will be back to Tennessee again, but I will spread the word. I can really say that the Mountains come alive when you are up there. Keep up the great work all.

It's fun, Octoberfest during the week for our daughter wasn't that busy. We enjoyed lots of the activities and spent most of the day there. Lots of the activities and equipment is for sure dated and needs some updating or improvements. Most of the employees were nice and assistive. The tram you need to get there at 9:40 to enjoy the views without it being crowded. We spent most of the day there and left about 4:30. Money spent was worth what we did as a total I believe. Ski lift to the observation deck was a nice and restful time.

Ober Mountain in Gatlinburg was so fun! We stayed at the Barbie Chalet and it was only. 6 miles from the house to the parking at the top of the mountain. The gondola goes right over the house! You need to drive because there are TONS of bears in the area and the roads are steep. Once we got to the parking lot, it cost $10 to park for the day. It's a very easy system to purchase the parking. Inside, they have lots to do, from ice skating to games to shopping and dining. We purchased the gondola only ticket and it was $30 round trip per person. They have inclusive offers that start at $49 and go up from there. It was easy easier to take the gondola down into town than to drive! The roads are narrow and steep and finding parking in Gatlinburg can be a challenge. This took us right into the middle of everything. We shopped, had lunch, visited the Old Smokey Distillery and brought the gondola back up later in the day. GORGEOUS views! They have an operator on each gondola with you, so that was nice too. They answered questions and offered interesting facts about what we were seeing. You can purchase tickets in advance from the website, but we didn't need to. The team runs every 20 min on the hour. One is at the base when one is at the top. Last one up the mountain when we were there was at 7:40pm, with it closing at 8.

My family and I had a great time! There was a lot that we didn't do since our kids are older but we still really enjoyed it! The tram was a little stuffy but still pretty neat, but the chair lift was awesome! The views were incredible! We enjoyed the ice rink and loved the wildlife area. We were able to watch the sea otters being fed, and the staff there was very friendly. You could tell how much she loves taking care of the animals. The staff at the front counter was also great. And I really want to give attention to the woman who helped us at the Leather Shop, I believe her name was Octavia. She was so much fun and a really neat person. She made something as simple as buying a jacket and hat into a very memorable experience!

Currently they are having a summer sale and it is awesome! Two consecutive days to do activities (including the tram ride). We went there and loved the scenic views, the rock climbing, spider jump and the ice activities inside (bumper cars and skating). Their wild life enclosures were also awesome. We came around 5pm both days, be aware they do start closing things down by 7 (at least both days we went). And the last tram is at 9pm, it comes every 20 minutes starting at the top of the hour.

This place is a must! You really get to spend a full day here for a great price! Staff is very friendly! Took the kids here on the last trip and they loved it! This time was a girls trip and we had the best time ever! Felt like kids again! Zip lining was the highlight of this visit. Our guides Shane and Robby were absolutely amazing l! They made us feel safe and were super funny! The views from the lines were absolutely phenomenal! You must put this in your list of things to do and experience everything they have to offer! We did the mountain coaster, bumper cars, tubing, zip lining, alpine slide, and visited the animal center.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun, scenic, and perfect for the whole family! We had such a great time at Ober Mountain! The chair lifts and bobsled were a blast—just the right mix of fun and excitement without being overwhelming. The scenic tram ride offered some absolutely gorgeous views and was a relaxing way to soak in the beauty of the mountains. What I really appreciated was how well-balanced the experience was: plenty of fun outdoor activities, but also an indoor area to cool down and take a break, which made it perfect for the whole family. The ice activities were a hit with everyone, and the entire place felt well-managed and welcoming. Well worth both the time and the price. Would definitely come back again—Ober Mountain delivers a fun, chill experience in all the right ways!
