The Space Needle is a great lookout over Gatlinburg. It shows you all that's going on around you. There is also an arcade downstairs with a penny smashing machine, which we always do.

We didn't go up in the Space Needle, since I'm scared of heights, but it's easy to find in Gatlinburg.
[Sarah & Tom, 08/14/2011]The Gatlinburg space needle is a smaller version of its more famous cousin in Seattle. You ride a glass elevator 400 feet up for beautiful views of the Smoky Mountains and Gatlinburg. Then you can head to the family fun center for laser tag, arcade games, and mini golf.
