The Hollywood Star Cars Museum is a lot of fun, especially for movie buffs. You can see cars from a lot of movies, including Charlies Angels and the Beach Boys car. Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies is also a great place to take children to.

Best Way To Get Around:

I didn't use any public transportation, I would definitely recommend renting a car.
This is a great place to eat. The inside is decorated kind of like a log cabin or ski lodge. The dining room and restrooms were really clean. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious. We had their buffalo wings as an appetizer, and they were some of the best I have ever had. The menu includes sandwiches, on freshly baked bread, burgers, steaks, pastas, salads, pizza...there really should be something for everyone. They also have a large selection of specialty beers and microbrews.

This is a wonderful place to visit. There is so much to look at, and a lot of interactive exhibits. The coral reef is breathtakingly beautiful. Be sure to bring your camera!
