Townsend visitors center was the nice place for the Bronco rally we went to April 18th. Very nice grounds for all the vehicles that were old and new.

If you’re in the Townsend area, be sure to stop by the visitor’s center for local knowledge, a clean restroom, and a selfie with Sasquatch’s brother, Edmond. Sharon gave us great advice about hikes in Smoky Mountains National Park, shopping, restaurants, festivals, Pulitzer Prize winning authors, and some fun facts about Townsend’s rise to PBS and Hallmark movie fame!

If you are planning a visit to the Townsend area, the Visitors Center is a must to help plan and prioritize your activities. They have a variety of free material including maps. They also sell the parking passes for the GSM.

More of a gift shop than a visitor center. Nothing really to help you learn about the Smokys but the bathrooms are nice and the people are helpful. You can buy parking passes for the park here too!

We went for their Fall Festival. Unfortunately, one person in our party fell I'll and we had to leave shortly after arriving.However, we have been there before. Lots of vendors for this. Fun food and live entertainment. Except for $10 parking per vehicle, it is free. Can be very hot at times, as it was this time. Wear a hat.

The smokies has several visitor centers, but Townsend has always been my favorite. The staff are always so lovely and personable and you can joke around with them so easily.

The closest place to buy your parking pass for the smoky mountains if your staying in Sevierville, TN. Go early or pre plan the day before to see Laurel Falls

Such a cute place. I visited both on arrival and departure . I was able to grab all my travel booklets for activity planning and souvenirs like mugs, stickers, and shirts. In the back, are picnic tables with lovely little view of the mountains. Nice place for a sit down or maybe picnic. You can also get the parking pass and I recommend getting the peaceful side of the smokies passport. Had lots of fun in this adorable little town! Thanks.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Plenty of printed material available regarding local attractions. The staff also made a great recommendation for a local restaurant…Friday night is rib night…delicious!

We always stop here when we visit Townsend. You can be sure to find great souvenirs and interesting books about the area. We love reading the history of the people who lived in Cades Cove which is just about 20 minutes from here. The staff are always friendly and have many interesting stories to share. Be sure to ask about local events, and pick up some of their free literature. It's a great resource for finding things to do.

We went to the Scottish festival here we had a great time. There were tents of all the clans, and there were lots of food vendors and merchandise vendors . There were lots of activities and demonstrations. They had activities for the children. They held highland games and had a parade of the clans. We had a lot of fun, and the grandchildren had a great time as well.

Cool place. Interesting scale wooden models of local building structures, ie, covered bridges, schoolhouse, etc. Purchased park passes, stickers, and a walking stick. Nice people work here. Lots of t-shirts, walking sticks, hats, and other merchandise for sale.
