What is Open and Closed in the Smokies during Coronavirus COVID-19

Posted: May 08 , 2020

With many Smoky Mountain businesses opening back up, there have been a lot of questions as to what is open, closed, or will be opening soon…along with that has come a lot of misinformation that the entire Smoky Mountains are opening back up on May 1st, which is not true. Businesses are a) following guidelines provided by state and local officials and b) making individual decisions based on those guidelines as to when each will personally open and to what capacity.

To clear up any confusion, we have compiled the list below with the most “official” information we have obtained. If a business has a planned opening date, we have cited & linked to that source for details. Please note, however, even if a business has a planned open date below, that could change depending on state and local restrictions & guidelines. If you have a visit planned in the near future, we highly suggest you keep your plans as fluid as possible just in case your planned attraction, show, etc changes schedule.

We also highly recommend referring to official local and state government websites to receive the most accurate information & guidelines:

  • Pigeon Forge’s Official Page
  • Gatlinburg’s Official Page
  • State of Tennessee’s Official Page

What is Open or Closed in Pigeon Forge

We have broken this into three separate categories: 1) things that are open, 2) things with a planned opening date, 3) things that are closed until further notice. Once a business announces a planned opening date, we will move it up until it gets in the “Businesses that are Open” category.
