Top 10 Kid Friendly Things To Do and Attractions in Townsend

"Scooter rentals and ice cream might not seem like a typical combination, but both can be found at Maypops. If nothing else, this unique shop is worth checking out for the sake of its friendly atmosphere, where you’ll find soda bottle chandeliers and plenty of samples. If you’re like most visitors, you won’t be able to resist Maypops’ ice cream, donuts, and cupcakes."

"If Mayfield’s is your favorite ice cream of all time, then you need to go to the Mayfield Dairy Bar in Gatlinburg. You can get your favorite flavor served any way you want, whether that’s in a cup, cone, milkshake, banana split, or another way. You’ll find classics such as vanilla and strawberry, as well as other favorites such as turtle tracks and birthday cake."

"Rich creamy ice-cream from the Mayfield Dairy Bar will make you look at ice-cream in a whole new light. Have it atop their funnel cake or in a sundae for a dessert that will make you never want to return home!"

"Located in the less-visited Tremont section of the park, Spruce Flats Falls is not on the radar of most park visitors. Because of this fact, you might have this special place all to yourself when you come to visit. These falls aren’t just great for escaping the crowds — they’re also perfect if you’re short on time, as the trail leading to the waterfall is just a two-mile round trip."

"The trail to get to Spruce Flats Falls is considered moderate and has a roundtrip length of 1.8 miles. This trail isn’t on the official Great Smoky Mountain National Park map, but the waterfall is visited often because of its scenic beauty. Before you reach the falls, you’ll cross streams and continue uphill then go downtown."

"Technically, this is not an official park trail and often the falls are not found on any park maps. Thus making it one of the Smokies' true hidden gems. Though, don’t be surprised if you encounter other hikers due to its close proximity to the Tremont Visitors Center."

"If the craving for Mexican hits you while you’re in town, go to Loco Burro Fresh Mex Cantina. This is a great place to eat in Gatlinburg on the strip with its unique atmosphere and wide range of dishes. You’ll find classics like rellenos and fajitas."

"Loco Burro Fresh Mex Cantina is one of the best restaurants in Gatlinburg TN along the strip. They have all your favorites: chips and salsa, queso, and nachos. You can also try new things, such as street corn."
