Grandfather Mountain is the one of the tallest mountains in the Blue Ridge mountain range. A spectacular drive into the attraction (admission fee & reservations required) takes visitors to the wheelchair-accessible Mile-High Swinging Bridge, thousands of feet above the Carolina Piedmont. You'll marvel at 360-degree views of mountain ridge after mountain ridge retreating to the distant horizon.
Great for kids! Wild West family theme park featuring a three-mile, steam-powered train ride through the picturesque North Carolina mountains. Shopping, gold panning, gem mining, live entertainment shows, amusement rides and a petting zoo.
