2018 Attraction of the Year winner! Anakeesta theme park is a chance to create your own unique vacation experience. Relax, play, and enjoy the beauty of the Smoky Mountains with your family, all in the magical treetop setting of Firefly Village. Anakeesta includes your scenic Chondola ride to the summit via a 4-person open-air chair or a 6-person enclosed cabin and everything that Firefly Village has to offer! From shopping and dining to our 16 bridge Tree Canopy Walk, Treehouse Village Playground for the kids, Memorial Forest Walk, and Vista Gardens Walk with interpretive signage, to a relaxing lunch at the Smokehouse BBQ food truck or Cliff Top Grill and Bar where you can enjoy the gorgeous scenic views. Dueling zipline tickets are additional and can be purchased at the summit of Anakeesta. Gem Mining is also available next to the Treehouse Village Playground.
