This place is great. We ziplined, which was excellent. Tatum, Morgan, and Nathan are great zipline guides. I would definitely recommend going here. We were first in the ticket line. we didn't wait. I would recommend getting your tickets in advance and get there a little early if you don't want to wait in line. Definitely worth visiting.

It was very beautiful during the winter season with all the lights. Cold, but still a beautiful view. Dress warmly in the winter. Once you go up so high, the temperature can get chilly. Food is expensive, please be prepared. The tree walk was so nice. If there are large crowds, be aware that kids and people like to jump while you're on the bridges. We paused at the beginning of many entries so that the people could get off before we got on. There is another area in this park, but it's an additional cost. We did not see that part. Line into the park was super ridiculous! Even if you get a fast pass, you still wait. Beautiful in the daytime amd breathtaking at night!

This place was fantastic! Spent around 4 hours in the area, which was accessed via chair lift. There are plenty of activities to explore, and lots of photo ops. Be sure to check out the additional Astra Lumina portion to close out the night with an unforgettable experience.

This was my first visit to Tennessee, let alone Anakeesta. I ABSOLUTELY loved it. There are not too many attractions, but just enough to visit and have FUN! I actually went there specifically for Willow. I had been seeing tiktoks from there for a while and decided to take a road trio from Illinois. I was scared of the treetop walk but made it!! Tons of fun.

Very beautiful. We were there around twilight and the lights were pretty. It would be so awesome if they collaborate with local artists and set up some sculptures or sculpture park to look at as well. The walkway itself does require some balance and sways and bounces. If you have mobility issues or fall risk maybe skip it or have your party block either end to minimize movement. I do not recommend that though as you will hold up the line. Definitely fun for all groups.
