When on vacation, finding the perfect souvenir is a part of the fun during the trip. But how do you know which Smoky Mountain stores have the best gifts? There are so many Pigeon Forge souvenir shops to choose from. We want to share some of our favorites with you! Here are 4 of the best souvenir shops in Pigeon Forge:
1. Three Bears General Store
One of the most popular souvenir shops in Pigeon Forge is Three Bears General Store! This shop has it all — ice cream, candy, clothes, jewelry, mementos and more! A total of 40,000 square feet of space is filled with keepsakes meant to commemorate your trip to the Smoky Mountains. Find some spectacular home decor to take back to your house or grab a Smoky Mountain t-shirt to show off your love for the Smokies no matter where you go. You can’t leave without first checking out this store’s bear habitat where you can catch a glimpse of black bears interacting while you shop!
2. The Apple Barn Cider Mill & General Store
The Apple Barn is a popular destination in town, and it’s definitely a can’t miss place for souvenirs! Within the walls of their beautiful barn, you will find gifts like Christmas ornaments, coasters, and cookbooks. However, you’ll also have the opportunity take home some of the most loved tastes of the Smokies. Choose your favorite flavors of apple butter and jams to make breakfast time complete or pick up a few sauces to try out on the grill this summer. From mixes to home decor to Tennessee Chow Chow, you’ll find something for yourself and everyone on your gift list.
3. MoonPie General Store
At our hotel, we have a great love for nostalgic moments that bring back some of the best days in the hills of Tennessee. Many of our staff spent time sitting on the covered porches of our grandparents far eating Moon Pies and drinking RC after an evening of chasing fireflies. At the MoonPie General Store, you’ll find everything you need to spark the good feelings of yesteryear or even just to make your own memories. This is one of the best Pigeon Forge souvenir shops to get treats for your tastebuds, but you’ll also find wonderful gifts as well. Wanting to connect to the Smokies? Pick up a book by one of our many local authors. You’ll be supporting their passion as well as taking home first hand stories of the Great Smoky Mountains. The history and selection at the MoonPie General Store makes it one of the must visit shops in Pigeon Forge!
4. Smoky Mountain Candy Makers and Farmhouse Sweets Candy Kitchen
We wanted to include a place for you pick up some treats for your sweet tooth, but when it comes to vacation, 2 spots to find sugar is always better than one. Both locations are filled with everything you could possibly want in a candy store in Pigeon Forge. There’s ice cream for the moment, fudge for a late night snack at the hotel and old fashioned taffy to take home with you. Stock up but be sure to take back enough to share!
