A good stop. + Pricing structure. General admission includes the Skyride, giant swing, lookout tower, entertainment. They do not build the coaster price in. You may however gaze upon the coaster from the skyride and see it is something that you want to do, as we did, and add it on. + Miniature horses up top. + Staff all friendly + Nice crowd, no line cutting, mayhem seeking city types. + Gorgeous views. read more

The ski lift will get your attention on the way up, feels like you're going almost straight up, the views from the lift are amazing. After getting up top there is plenty of views from multiple seating areas. Along with that, there are many trails and paths you can walk on. The Skybridge is fantastic. Close to 700' end to end with the highest point from the ground below is close to 150'. To add to the walk around the bride is a glass area to look down and just really see how far you are from the ground. It's fun just to watch many people change their stride, grab on the cable just a bit harder and slowly walk around the glass read more

We were in town celebrating our 3yro birthday. We visited the Ranch two days in a row for the coaster. There seemed to be lots of other add ons and experiences you can pay for additional fees. My toddler loved the coaster, most of the staff were friendly and welcoming. I love that if kids are the acceptable height, they can ride with an adult on the car. We enjoyed the coaster at night as well, though many of their lights need maintenance and are completely out. You will pay a premium, tourist price but it's comparable to other coasters in the area. A big take away is that a member of the crew boarding us on the coaster on our second visit made me and my daughter very uncomfortable. He continuously got in her face once strapped in trying to talk to her, calling her sweetie, princess, saying she's shy this that and another. When my husband had her in his car, he didn't say a word to her. He also wouldn't start the ride because he kept trying to get a reaction or something out of her. It was extremely creepy and uncomfortable. There was zero awareness of reading the room and being professional. read more

SkyLand Ranch - Beautiful sunset - Attraction Farms Near Me - Sevierville, Tennessee

This was my second time coming here to try the speciality menu and milkshakes. The prices were pretty extreme.. with military discount it was $86 for 2 people, This included chair lift to the top and one coaster ride. I also spent over $70 on food that was way overpriced. So some of the seasonal food/dessert is strictly on Friday and Saturdays and some after 5pm. So I am afraid of heights and they didn't say anything about them having a shuttle. I was freaking out, trying to close my eyes on the chair lift because it was very high and it kept stopping which made things worse. Once up there, there wasnt too too much stuff to do. There was a little shop, bbq booth, cafe/bakery, animals and a place you can walk up around to get a scenery view. The mexican corn is not mexican corn it was just corn with a drizzle of sour cream and paprika.. nothing mexican about it. The corn ball things were very good it was like jack cheese inside. The apple dessert was very tasty. I was told that the pizza was good. I had the smokehouse sandwich and it was tasty, just make sure you take a tums because you will be burping it up all day. I asked an employee if there was another way to get down because I wasn't going to ride the chair down again. The coaster was by far the best part, but only got 1 ride and it was about 5-6 minutes long. They need to work on their pricing big time. read more

This review is only for the mountain coaster. It's pretty fun. You go up twice on two parts of the ride and can control the speed. It's billed as one of the longest distanced coasters in the area. I would say we got lucky the first time we rode it, then lined up for about 30 mins the second time but skipped our 3rd time because the line would have taken an hour. read more

The SkyLand Ranch was a nice place. 3 adults and two children under 3 went. We enjoyed the SkyRide lift; and the kids both enjoyed petting the cow and taking pictures with the cow. My expectations were really high for this place of business; and I came back extremely disappointed. We had pictures done with the cow and my husband's Great Uncle's face was really dark in the picture. It didn't turn out well at all. So that money was basically wasted. The photographer should have noticed right away and asked if we could take his hat off or push it up higher to see his face clearer. I expected to have some kind of petting place for kids, but all I saw were animals in cages with water spraying on them and water to drink and that's it. No one was there tending to them. Then we went to the playground area for kids, and because it was a hot day, the kids couldn't really go down on the slides because it was really hot. My kids were too young to go on any other rides and they didn't really want to walk around anywhere. All in all, I most definitely would not come back here. read more

This was a beautiful place and very well decorated but was definitely not worth the price. The food at the cafe was mid but expensive, there really wasn't a lot to do at the top besides one ride and walking up the viewing platform. There were few animals and we missed a few because they weren't advertised anywhere. Anakeesta is a better use of your time and money overall. read more

Highly manufactured experience that seems like false advertising . It's advertised as an amusement park but....it's ..not. Here's my impression : some developer bought some hilly land and threw some poor animals up on said hill , laid some FAKE grass down and put up a store full of overpriced and low quality China produced goods and added some food trucks . This developer then expects you - the consumer - to pay to get up the hill either by chair lift or shuttle so that you can then buy their China products and highly processed , fast food . They say they have entertainment shows but we are literally sitting here now at 11:45 for an 11am "western show" that has yet to occur . Oh and none of the employees know why the 11am show hasn't happened . They say there's supposed to be live music . Nothing . The employees don't seem to be able to answer basic questions nor do they seem to enjoy being here. Also , the barn is closed and the few animals they have look depressed . They have the poor animals on fake grass and black tarps . Down by the mountain coaster loading area they have them on dirt/rocks with no shade and barely any grass. They do have a "mountain coaster." If you've never ridden one , basically riders sit in a cart, similar to a bobsled, that is attached to a fixed track. Mountain coasters use the natural elevation of the area and gravity to transport riders down the mountain. The mountain coaster was the only thing that was entertaining for our group . Buying a ticket up the hill does not get you access to the mountain coaster . It was an additional cost to ride it . They do take a photo of you mid ride on the mountain coaster but don't think of pulling your phone out to snap a pic of the proof in the gift shop . I noticed they had someone standing by the photos shaming anyone that had a cell phone out lol . I could not figure out the value in the price of admission because there does not seem to be anything to do once on the hill other than eat & shop . Make it make sense . The business seemed new so perhaps they will improve the experience . However , they should lower the admission price while they work out the kinks. read more

Our experience way exceeded our expectations. Eric, our hayride and bus driver was a delightful person to speak with and we had a lovely conversation not only about the ranch but also general life conversations. Jay, Ben amd Billy at the coaster were so wonderful, thoughtful and accommodating. Due to a halted first ride (rider completely stopped on the track, was no fault of staff of the ranch), we were allowed to take a 2nd ride. Honestly I have never experienced the level of kindness and caring outside of Disney parks. I hope the owners or management take great care of their amazing staff. The coaster was so much fun. The chair lift has such amazing views. The hayride was so informative and fun. The ranch was very clean and attractive. The food was fantastic and very reasonable priced for a attraction. read more

My son's cart got stuck 3/4 of the way up the second incline. Hes afraid of heights and was already hesitant to ride to begin with. He was stuck there for around 20 mins until he had to get out and walk back down. Not one member of management tried to check on him/ us to make sure he was ok. When we tried to get a refund because he obviously didn't get to finish his ride, they wouldn't /couldn't issue a refund and said they could only give a rain check. To say I was taken back by the disregard and lack of concern of the danger that my son was put in is a huge understatement and this facility took zero accountability for what happened. I do not recommend this place. read more

I think... I don't understand this place. Inevitably, it would seem this spot is not for me. It is billed as a theme park - there is a chairlift (fun!) that takes you up to the ranch. There are sitting and picnic areas, a couple of miniature horse pens, a snack shop, a gift shop, and a skywalk of sorts that leads to views across the Sevierville region. They were definitely still expanding the area. I could see the construction vehicles clearing new areas and the mock food trucks were still in development. The sitting and picnic areas occasionally brought out some live entertainment (lassos, singing, whips, etc). There were some outdoor games, firepits, and rocking chairs. But what is value for the price of admission? The views? A place to sit? Maybe if there were more animals? It's strange because it's really in the middle of a resort/tourist town. You can head over to the Island of Pigeon Forge (no admittance cost) or spend $$$ at Dollywood. I don't understand it's identity here. If it were in the middle of nowhere, it would succeed (right?), but there plenty of other places to sit and spend $ at a gift store. I think Anakeesta is one other place that sort of competes in their space. I've never been to Anakeesta, but it seems like their angle is more gardens and stuff like that. I know the passes are multi-day, but I can't spend all that time here - I have the rest of this tourist town to visit! The staff, as others have mentioned, are all very nice though. The mountain coaster - one of the newest in the area - is pretty fun though! However, you don't need to access the ranch to ride. read more

The good--- lift chair ride is nice, feeding the animals on the hayride good, views are great. The bad--- staff not well trained, directions to rides and activities not made clear, QR codes for menus and no hard copies. But the worst? Well, the worst was advertising their Apple Harvest Festival. The only apples seen anywhere were plastic. The Apple Salad wasn't real either. In the South, Apple Salad consists of Apples not greens. The picture showed apples in a salad with candied pecans, blue cheese and red and green apples. The Apple salad I go was four bites of apples, maybe 8 bites of candied pecans and half a bad of spring mix. Not Apple Salad but a green salad with a small four pieces of apples. I would consider that false advertising. read more

Staff are all super kind and helpful. $45 for one coaster ride and have a chair-lift up to the ranch! Well worth the money. You can see adorable farm animals and ride a tall swing ride that gives you a great view of the area. There's also a little playground area for kids. read more

Just a review for the Wild Stallion coaster: It's not the longest or tallest Mountain Coaster ride in the region, but we did see live horses and goats while on this one. The ride's a decent length and you can get some good speed on this one. Also nice, you can ride this ala carte, without going up the chairlift or to the larger SkyLand Ranch complex - something that Anakeesta, to draw a comparison to a similar attraction, is not set up for. read more

It was super super fun! And soooo much to do. Yes it's a little pricey but worth it.

And the mountain coaster was fun and way faster than I expected. read more

A fun afternoon! We rode the coaster and the skylift and then spent much of the afternoon up top. We enjoyed the bakery, the mercantile, and most of all, the music by Monroeville and the whip show by James Whipper. This coaster is much better than others we have tried. Many twists and turns and some good, long rides between the climbs. The views are amazing and the animals are fun. read more

Can't speak for anything other than the basic admission ticket, I can tell you though that it sucked. You get to the top of the mountain on the ski lift, only to see maybe 15 total animals which were lame and only city folk or a toddler may find interesting. Other than that, you can waste money in their food trucks or stores where you can get "SkyLand" themed merchandise and random other Chinese junk items. Many of the things the park had were not in order, which is a big deal considering it's peak season and there's already so little to do here. If you're coming here with your large family; bring the youngest kids. Otherwise, it's not fun for anyone else. read more

Five stars for the alpine coaster! But you really don't need to go to the ranch unless you want to ride a ski lift for fun or pet some animals. The ranch portion is cool, but considering how everything up there is extra $$ you really don't need to go unless you're looking for a place to chill and drink/eat. Overall I'd yes go for the coaster but skip the ranch read more

We tried the Mountain Alpine coaster and it did not disappoint. We tried it at night to add to the adrenaline rush . This ride is a dune buggy attraction feel. You get seated and learn your gears and you are your own individual adventure. You hear all frightening thoughts and feel the rush of anxiety in your mind . It's great lol. The cost is $25 and the ride is longer than expected. They also had alot of coasters going which made wait time quick. At the end you can go and purchase your pictures that they took on your ride or buy candies and snacks . Staff was professional and parking was close. If you are in the area give it a try . You won't be disappointed. read more

We purchased general admission plus Wild Stallion coaster tickets. I'm giving three stars because the staff was friendly and the lift was nice. We have a 5 year old and thought she'd like to see the animals and that we would have a few hours of things to do. It was a HOT day, and the animals didn't want to approach us, so that was a dud. We went when they opened, so no food trucks were available. We were probably there for 45 minutes ($115 later). (I believe this is more of a night life kind of situation. Bands, beer, etc). For the price, I would say to skip out on the ranch and just go with Wild Stallion (à la carte ). Even then- there are other coasters in the area that are much better priced, and have longer (and faster) rides. I'll admit that even a local told us that this is a waste of money. Good luck on your trip! read more

Overpriced . 02/26/25 Cannot actually pet any animals all you can is look at them. Staff didn't really say anything about the animals they were talking to themselves.

First of all, there are no miniature animals. They are ordinary Shetland ponies and potbelly pigs and a small breed of highland cow that was suffering in the heat. The petting zoo was closed which is what my granddaughter most wanted to do. There is music up top and a good view but nothing else except a shop. The coaster was okay but Definitely not worth the money read more

The ranch has a ton of activities and is affordable compared to other attractions . Tourists can ride a mountain roller coaster, where the driver can control the speed and is extra exciting at night. Parents can ride with little ones , and the coaster is a great intro to roller coasters. The air tram offers beautiful views, and goes quite a slow place so you can take in all the sites from the sky. There is also a farm with animals where you can explore and visit. read more

This place should be ashamed of themselves. We bought the Groupon for our family vacation months ago with the idea that it was a fun outing in a ranch style setting for our family to enjoy, with animal interactions and a fun interactive kids area. We purchased the mountain coaster on arrival (an extra $60 for our family on top of the entry to the ranch that was already $50). What we came into was pathetic. We were told the coaster was 10 mins long, it was 5, and it brakes you automatically when you try to go. The ranch itself was awful, the poor animals were housed on fake grass and they shied away from any humans that didn't have food, mind you, you weren't allowed to feed any animals, so it was like walking through an animal shelter. The miniature horses were cribbing on the fake grass out of boredom. It was 45 degrees out the day we went and bunnies were near freezing outside and the highland cow was drinking its own urine. There were some goats huddling for warmth on a cliff side. The TikTok we saw boasted a fake cow the kids could milk, but the teats had been ripped off. The giant peg game wasn't there. There was corn hole and Jenga with ripped bean bags and warped wood. We literally paid $110 to take our kids to a pathetic play structure (I've seen better public parks) and a coaster that cost as much as an extra day at Dollywood. Don't waste your money here! What an absolute rip off. read more
