Our kids (5&6) had shown an interest in learning about Indian life so we figured this might be a good place to take them. I had some reservations that we were going to be disapointed in the experience, but to my surprise we were not. The tour takes you to several different stations where different activities are taking place (basket... more

I had seen the Village several years ago, and feel that it is better now. The attitude of the Cherokee seems to have moved from acceptance of their "lot" to more active desire to keep their heritage alive. The dances were great, our guide was interested and interesting, the ladies were more than willing to discuss what they were doing.... more

We visited this "village" over Memorial Day and were extremely disappointed with the whole visit. The purpose of our visit was to provide an educational experience for our two granddaughters. After paying an admission of $15.00 for each adult and the reduced rate for the children we waited for the group to reach capacity and then were led on a... more

My husband, two daughters (8 & 9) and I visited the village in August. Even though the forecast in Pigeon Forge (where we stayed) was 99 degrees, the walk through the village was pleasant and not hot at all! While you can tell it is a village that was just created for tourists, they did a nice job of trying... more

Since we were in Cherokee to try the trout fishing, I felt like the kids (2 teens) needed to go to the Indian Village to learn something as well. I remember a much different version of the village from 20 years ago - and it was better then. The village just seemed empty to me. The guide was young and... more

Really enjoyed the experience. I am a fan of "living museums" and I found this one to be top notch. As others said before me, the last two stops are some of the most informative. Everyone is willing to answer questions you have along the way. The outdoor drama, on the grounds near-by is a nice way to complement the... more

Kids enjoyed the Village, but we found that the young guides were a bit unenthusiastic. At the end of the tour, a tribal leader from the Blue Clan redeemed the entire Village experience by delivering a stirring and educational lecture. more

This is well worth the few hours. You will learn the history of the Cherokee people (like women are the head of the 7 clans). Some so called histroy about Indian culture is so wrong. This is a wonderful place to take your children so they can learn the truth. I have a picture of my husband coming out of... more

The Village is wonderful! A guide takes you around the village and explains the Cherokee way of life. It is much more interesting for adults and children than the Museum of the Cherokee Indian. Well worth a visit. more
