This is great news for those who prefer to stay in their own private accommodations such as one of the many vacation cabins. So there&#8217;s no need to stay in the confines of a hotel just to enjoy a day at the water park.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wildernessatthesmokies.com\/waterparks\/wild-waterdome-indoor-waterpark\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Wild Water Dome<\/a> is Tennessee&#8217;s largest indoor water park, with a transparent rook that lets the sunshine in even as it keeps the cold air outside, where we like it to stay. Outside, in summer, is the parent water park operation of Wilderness at the Smokies.<\/p>\n<p>And right across the street is a new water park, operated by the same company, called <a href=\"https:\/\/soakymountainwaterpark.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Soaky Mountain Waterpark<\/a>. This is an outdoor park, also closed in winter. Both places boast an ice skating rink that opens in winter, for those who like their water frozen.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of ice skating rinks, Gatlinburg&#8217;s own ski resort, Ober Mountain, has a large <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/things-to-do\/ober-gatlinburg-ice-skating-rink\/\">indoor ice rink<\/a>, open year round in its indoor shopping mall on the mountain. The resort also has ice bumper cars on a portion of the rink, for those who prefer to skate on the ice sitting down.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8306\" style=\"width: 1853px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/rink.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8306\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8306\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/rink.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1843\" height=\"639\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/rink.jpg 1843w, https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/rink-300x104.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/rink-1024x355.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/rink-768x266.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/rink-1536x533.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1843px) 100vw, 1843px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-8306\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image courtesy of Ober Mountain<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Some of the hotels have indoor pools that stay warm in the winter &#8211; but again you generally have to stay in the hotel lodging to enjoy the water.
