I remember the first time I looked into a kaleidoscope as a kid. I was in grade school and someone was carrying around this glass-type toy that everyone was looking into, so when it was handed to me I didn’t quite know what to expect. Once my eye peeked through the little hole, however, I was thrust into a foreign world of spinning colors and shapes. As I twisted the toy, the whole display moved in a spellbinding and mystical way that my elementary mind could not comprehend. I am a firm believer in not losing that childlike wonder now that I am an adult, and I am glad to see I am not alone because there is a new lazy river experience in Tennessee that captures this sense of awe and encapsulates the magic of this child’s toy in a whole new way. 

Wilderness at the Smokies is the premiere waterpark experience in Sevierville, Tennessee. There is an outdoor space and an indoor dome where you can partake in the joy of a waterpark all year round.

In fact, the large windows allow so much sunlight to come in that the whole place is warm and you can even get a tan while lounging around inside! The environment is also perfect for tropical plants to thrive, but the biggest draw is for families to gather together to splash and play.
A brand-new attraction has opened up in the park and it is the very first of its kind. The Kaleidoscope Kavern is an unforgettable lazy river experience unlike any you have ever seen before. The easy-flowing stream is a relaxing place to just lay back on your innertube and go along for the ride.

You will be encapsulated in a tunnel that then comes to life with dancing lights. The relaxing ride will be accompanied by ambient music and sounds. This lazy river is a fully immersive experience that plays on your senses and leaves you filled with wonder.
