Fun at SkyLand Ranch begins before you ever step foot on the mountain. The Wild Stallion Mountain Coaster is the southeast’s longest at over 1.5 miles with a ride time of approximately 10 minutes. Ride during the day to catch scenic views of the nearby Great Smoky Mountains National Park or at night for sparkling city lights. Guests can purchase a ticket for the coaster separately or bundle it with a combo pass to include general admission. Parking is free, with more than 400 spots on the property.

SkyLand’s Safari Hayride is also located at the foot of the mountain and makes a memorable addition to any visit. Part hayride and part petting zoo, board a covered wagon pulled by a John Deere tractor and journey across the ranch to meet a host of farm animals, including longhorns, highland cows, alpacas, and more. A bag of feed is included with each ticket.

To reach the rest of the ranch, visitors can either take the scenic route up the mountain on the Horizon Skyride chairlift or ride up in a safari truck. Atop the mountain, visitors are greeted by a modern ranch scene complete with white barns with black trim, beautiful landscaping, and miniature farm animals that are often found touring the grounds with knowledgeable handlers.

Wild West entertainment keeps the energy high and the atmosphere lively. Listen to tunes from Gary “Biscuit” Davis, a world-class banjo picker who spent more than two decades playing for Dolly Parton. Then catch great performances from houseband, Monroeville, and entertainers specializing in trick roping, bull whips, spinning guns, and line dancing.

In addition to great outdoor music and western performances, kids (or the kid-at-heart) can play cowboy while roping dummy bulls and learning to crack a whip. Little ones will love the gem mine and the Buckaroo Playbarn, while older kids can enjoy The Buzzards’ Nest, a 60-foot challenge tower with climbing, crawling, and swinging elements. Afterwards hang out on green spaces with fire pits, cornhole boards, and other amusements.

Those with a serious appetite will love the food options at SkyLand Ranch. Food trucks in The Backyard feature fare from an all-American cookout, while those with a sweet tooth can get their fix at the SkyLand Cafe & Bakery with homemade candies, ice cream, specialty coffees, and signature Smoky Mountain baked goods like cinnamon bread, made from scratch daily.

Looking for thrills? SkyLand’s newest thrill ride is the towering WagonWheeler swing that soars 300 feet above the Parkway. Inspired by the legend of Big Jack Wheeler, who braved a whirlwind in his Conestoga wagon, this ride embodies the same daring spirit and is perfect for thrill-seekers and view-chasers alike. General admission includes two rides per day.

Views throughout SkyLand Ranch impress, but a scenic walk along Legacy Lookout provides a 360-degree perspective. The walkway is suspended 50-feet above ground, ramped for ADA accessibility, and is stable enough to accommodate wheelchairs and powered chairs so everyone can appreciate the stunning views of English Mountain, Mount LeConte, Bluff Mountain and more.

For seasonal fun, SkyLand Ranch hosts a variety of events and festivities to celebrate the different seasons in the Smokies complete with limited time only activities, performances, menus, and more. On select mornings in the summer months, catch the Smokies’ one-and-only breakfast show - the Chuckwagon Breakfast. Guests can dig into a hearty cowboy breakfast while enjoying specialty acts and performances.

Too much fun to wrangle into just one day? Every general admission wristband is valid for re-entry up to three consecutive days from the purchase date, so guests can come back for more shows, grab some more cinnamon bread to-go, take another spin on the WagonWheeler, or chase another beautiful Smoky Mountain sunset.

Located on 100 acres of farmland across from Tanger Sevierville in the Five Oaks neighborhood with convenient access to lodging, restaurants, and other amusements, SkyLand Ranch has developed 14 acres as part of its $40 million Phase 1 construction. Planned future growth will further develop the expansive theme park, bringing to life the spirit of the Wild West.

Located at one of its highest points, SkyLand Ranch adds peak thrills to Sevierville.
