Soco Craft Tower is an old fashioned tourist attraction at an old fashioned price: $1 per person. The view is spectacular. This area in the Smokey Mountains is such a beautiful place to visit, drive, and relax.
[Renee, 09/06/2024]The craft store and observation tower are both back open. It is a nice view. The tower is fairly high, and not for those scared of heights.
[Danny Martin, 08/09/2020]Unfortunately, the tower appears to be closed and there is a "For Sale" sign on the building.
