Meticulously selected and lovingly maintained by a staff of 20 full-time interior horticulturists, the landscaping is a colorful, year-round paradise tucked inside this amazing resort. Each of the gardens is housed under one of the hotel's soaring atriums, creating a series of breathtaking horticultural wonderlands. An elaborate climate-control system keeps the temperature at 68-72 degrees Fahrenheit year round. Relative humidity stays around 55 percent most of the time. There is also an air exchange system to ensure air in the atriums does not become stale. The system exchanges air four times in a 24-hour period. The Garden Conservatory features a collection of 10,000 tropical plants, representing more than 215 species. Towering palms and banana trees rise 60 feet above the atrium floor. In all, there are 37 different families of trees represented, including ficus, banana trees, palms and a sampling of miniature orange trees.

Many of the taller plants were put in place before construction was completed, in advance of installing the thousands of flowers that add color and texture to the majestic space. It took staff 3 months to install the gardens of the Garden Conservatory Atrium.

What a blast!! I’d been whitewater rafting before but my husband and two kids hadn’t.

He is hooked!! The bus ride made me nervous because it was filled but we wore masks and eyeglasses, used hand sanitizer, and then everyone got on their own rafts so that was fine. I did convince my son and daughter to jump into the river with me, but my hubby stayed in the raft. Hitting the rapids was awesome! We felt very safe with the guides.

Saturday: 10:00 AM - 11:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Distilleries

Having been to Gatlinburg a few times over recent years, I have always noticed these "whiskey" establishments but never felt inclined to enter --- until now. I had some free time, and I thought I would treat myself to this experience. The place wasn't very crowded, and I was able to look around unimpeded. Then I decided to approach one of the bartender stations. Catalina was the employee who assisted me and another guest. She was polite and humorous as she explained the procedure for the tasting and the costs of any purchase, some of which came with a color (size of cooler dependent on number of bottles purchased). Catalina did her part in making the experience fun and enjoyable. I enjoyed the various samples. I requested a specific flavor that wasn't among the ones typically featured, and Catalina allowed me to have my request in place of one of the other flavors. When I left the station, I did make a purchase and got a complementary cooler. Give it a shot! See more..

5.0 River Rat Whitewater Rafting (2.906 reviews)
- If you're thinking of white water rafting PICK RIVER RATS!!!!
Saturday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM River Rafting & Tubing • Adrenaline & Extreme Tours

I can't say enough about this experience. The crew was so fun and exciting. They all had different fun outfits on and really seemed to love what they do. There was never a dull moment, even on the bus ride up the river they were telling stories and joking and laughing. We chose the extreme raft and were lucky enough to get the coolest, funniest and most knowledgeable guide on the river, Ewok! He took us down runs that none of the other rafts were going down and did a bunch of different moves and tricks with us. He was so personable and friendly. I was really nervous about rafting for the first time and he made me feel super comfortable. Wouldn't have changed anything about it. See more..

5.0 Raft One (2.556 reviews)
- Fun with Raft One and Junior!
Saturday: 8:00 AM - 7:00 PM Water Sports

Raft One was one of the best whitewater rafting experiences we’ve taken and we’ve been on many. It started with an excellent safety presentation that was funny and entertaining enough to keep everyone engaged and continued with the easiest and most time efficient load out of equipment and rafts and then onto the buses for the short ride to the Middle Ocoee. Junior was an outstanding guide who figured out quickly that we wanted adventure and we’re willing to take a few risks for the big payoff. In other words he pushed our group right to the edge for two and a half thrilling hours and finished us off with a expertly executed boat flip that left us all smiling and cheering. Importantly he took charge of the boat and made sure everyone was safe even when we wanted a little more. He was the consummate pro and clearly loved his job on the Ocoee. Junior is the kind of guide that brings you back and we will be back for another exciting day of fun with Raft One. See more..
