We have not been inside the attraction, but we park here a lot. It was $5 and we could stay all day. It's close to most everything in Gatlinburg.

"Wonderful Experience "
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5
Reviewed January 09, 2020 NEW
We had heard of this place many times, as we visit the area at least once a year. We decided to park there because it’s $5 all day parking or free if you visit the museum. The owners are very friendly and nice. You are told not to take pictures during the tour, which I was a little disappointed in because some of the scenes in the tour are magnificent! It’s a self guided tour and each scene starts on its own so when you finish one scene it goes black and the lights for the next one will key you to move on. I was blown away by how the wax figures looked so real. This is a must do for anyone who believes and has faith Thank you
