“Outlet mall shopping that has it all when it comes to name brands. Also has restaurants where you can stop and rest after a day of shopping. For those who don't want to go shopping at the entrance is Old MacDonald Miniature Golf Course as well as NASCAR speed park at the secondary entrance to the shopping center.”

“Go early in the morning or late afternoon to have the best chance of seeing animals. Wear walking shoes as there are plenty of places to get out and walk around and check out historic landmarks. Bring a swimsuit during summer months and stop at the river just outside the entrance and go for a dip or go tubing!”

“Good ol’ John Boy greets you and “takes yer orders” – even the waiters are entertaining! As you watch the show, you and the whole family get to feast on a delicious all-you-can-eat meal. The Hatfields and McCoys dance together and brawl with one another – and sometimes you can’t tell which they’re doing. You’ll experience things like: Mountain dancing Dueling banjo musical showdowns Incredible feats of strength Sidesplitting comedy appropriate for all ages And then you get to cap it all off with Granny’s Famous Dessert.”
