You Can Ride Bumper Cars On Ice This Winter At Ober Gatlinburg In Tennessee And It’s Insanely Fun

Tennessee is rife with fun wintertime activities, but there’s nothing quite like the unique Bumper Cars on ice experience in East Tennessee. Ober Gatlinburg is famed for its fun, year-round offerings, but after one 7-minute ride on these neat bumper cars, you’re bound to return again and again. Tennessee offers a fresh take on a low-key classic, and we can’t imagine skipping out. Learn more below, and purchase tickets at the link below. This is one adventure you don’t want to miss.

This is perhaps one of the best known views of Ober Gatlinburg, a magical look at the Aerial Tramway making its way up the frosted mountain. The enclosed tram car will take you straight from downtown to the heart of the resort.

Ober Gatlinburg offers a series of snow sporting experiences from the Alpine slide on-site, ice skating, and its mountain coaster experience. Of course, it's the ice bumper cars that really make an impact on the youngest of visitors.

The ice bumper cars may just be the most quirky and talked about activity at Ober Gatlinburg. It's a fun, safe twist on the classic carnival activity, allowing visitors to ride around an ice rink and bump into other guests. All in good fun, of course.

The activity is completely safe and a mere $12 per person for a ride. Bring your kiddos along for a ride too, because 3 and 4-year-olds will get the chance to ride with their parents for free. You will be given a couple of minutes for orientation then after that, you will have seven minutes to zoom around the ice, bumping and gliding to your heart's content. The multi-colored cars are fun to watch spin around the ice, and the activity is also included in the Ober Gatlinburg premium wristband price.

Fun fact? The ice bumper cars share a rink with the ice skaters. That's how MASSIVE the Ober Gatlinburg ice rink is. How neat is that? Not only will you be able to have fun with your friends on the icy-bound bumper cars, but you can indulge in a little ice skating afterward. So fun!

If bumper cars aren't your jam, there are still all sorts of opportunities at Ober Gatlinburg for fun. There are even skiing and snowboarding lessons if you're looking to drill down into your winter athleticism, and the Alpine Coaster (pictured) is a blast.

Have you ever ridden on an ice bumper car? Are you planning to? Make sure you check out the official Ober Gatlinburg information below, and plan a trip you'll never forget.

Make sure to plan ahead and watch for hours of operation before you go. Also, did you know that Ober is the only ski resort in the state? Tennessee doesn’t see a whole lot of snowfall so an area with high elevation in the Smoky Mountain area is one of the only places to go. There’s nothing more magical than Tennessee during the winter season and you can see it up close and personal with this neat outdoor adventure.

For another great mountain town getaway this winter, try visiting Johnson City during the colder months. Lovely views of the mountains, lots of great places to see, and things to do, and the city is just the right size (not too big and not too small).
