2. Delicious Dining
After a busy day of enjoying the snow, your family is bound to work up an appetite! Luckily, there are plenty of dining options at the theme park to have either a full meal or a snack to warm up! On Ober Mountain, you'll find Daddy's Dogs, a Nashville staple. This restaurant brings unique hot dogs to Gatlinburg, including their famous Big Daddy, a Daddy Dog topped with cream cheese, bacon, pickles, grilled onions, jalapenos, and Daddy's secret sauce. If you want something a bit lighter, the Ober Mountain Cafe above the ice skating rink has quick snack options, including burgers, pizza, and so much more!

3. Snowsports Galore
While there are multiple reasons to visit Ober Mountain, the main draw to the park is of course all the fun snow activities for the family!

4. Breathtaking View
No matter what activity you are taking part in on the mountain, be sure to take a few moments to appreciate the amazing views all around you. While the Smokies are a beautiful place to visit year round, there is something special about the snow covered mountain. Even if you don’t want to participate in the activities, the amazing view from the aerial tramway will make it well worth the trip! The tramway departs from downtown Gatlinburg and lifts you over 300 feet in the sky, giving you a bird's eye view of the Smoky Mountains!
