The cost is $9.50 for a round-trip on the tram to get to Ober Gatlinburg from Gatlinburg. The tram car can carry 120 passengers and climbs 1,335 feet to the mountain station.

It resembles a carnival in the summer, with amusement rides that take tickets costing $2.50 each. My favorite was the Alpine Slide (two tickets), where you take a ski lift up the mountain and toboggan down the hillside. My 1-year-old daughter's favorites were the car and train rides (two tickets).

You take the sky ride up the side of the mountain. The signs say that each car has the capacity of 120 people. We had 78 in our trip down, and I don't know how they could have gotten 40 more people in!!! Once at the top, there is a small amusement-ride section with a small walk-through fun house, a swinging pirates ship, go-carts, a couple of kiddie rides, and the alpine slide. You ride a chairlift up to the top of the alpine slide ride and then ride a small cart down, and it really is a hoot!!!! You can also remain on the chairlift and go farther up the mountain and ride down!!! The rides are about $5 apiece. You are far better off getting the $19.95 per person wrist band for unlimited rides!!!!!

You can ice skate as long as you want. You have the choice of renting figure skates or ice hockey skates. Besides ice skating there are some craft booths set up to shop in, you can see live black Grizzly bears, and there is an arcade. You can ride a tram up to the mountain or drive, if you wish.
