Having back-up plans for attractions in the Smokies during your visit with family and young’uns in tow is always the smart thing to do in case something doesn’t work out or weather becomes an issue. Thankfully, there are few ideas better for availability and consistently delivering fun for all ages than mini-golf you can play indoors. Mini-golf doesn’t have to be a “Plan B” type of activity either and many of the recommendations we’re going to list in this blog have additional attraction amenities that will be great to entertain a young group with for the afternoon.
