SkyCenter
Gatlinburg • Tourist attraction
SkyCenter delivers exactly what visitors come for: sweeping Smoky Mountain views from North America's longest pedestrian suspension bridge. The chairlift ride up and the glass-bottom panels on the bridge are consistent crowd-pleasers, with many calling it a must-do experience. The main friction point is pricing—several reviewers feel the admission cost is steep, especially when extras like chairlift photos aren't included.
