Smokey Mountain Brewery in Pigeon Forge for some brews. The food was nothing special. Had a bomb ass porter and seasonal pumpkin ale though if you're into that sorta thing. Or, do you just drink stones??
Winery/Moonshine spots are a must stop. There is supposed to be a new one opening soon I think. Free likka is always on the top of my list.
There is also a lot of cool stuff to do in the National Forrest for free that requires no walking. You can ride through Cades Cove and see a lot of stuff that your kid would probably enjoy seeing/hearing about from the car. Old cabins, churches, wildlife, etc...
Other than that it's like Myrtle Beach of the mountains. Just more Mullets and less :afro:
